I am getting my MCAT scores back on august 23rd. When should I submit my primary so that I can be verified by the time my scores comes out? Would mid-July or even July 23 after my MCAT be okay?

Also, I understand I'm late but I can't do anything about it now. I will aim to be complete by labor day or asap sometime in late August. With my GPA (3.8) and good EC's, hopefully I will get an acceptance.

To be absolutely sure, I would submit within the next week. It takes about 4-6 weeks around now I think.

Submit your application ASAP, but only apply to 1 school that you know you're going to apply to, regardless of your MCAT score (e.g., an instate school). Get your app verified now, so that the only thing you have to do in August is update your school list on AMCAS.

On the 23rd of August, once you have your score, you can adjust your list of schools based upon your MCAT score/stats and then apply to them all that day.

Thanks! Do you know how long it will take for me to receive secondaries after adding all my schools on Aug 23rd once I get my scores back?

I believe most schools will give them to you instantly or, at least, within a week or so.

Prewrite your secondaries, and you'll be 👍
