Can you submit your primary application without an MCAT score to reach the application deadline?

I know reaching the application deadline is considered late, but can I make the deadline if I submit my primary without my MCAT score, or do I need to be verified with an MCAT score to be considered fully submitted?
 
You don't need your MCAT score to submit the primary for verification. After verification, AAMC will send your primary to the schools, and as long as you meet the primary deadline, you're good (you won't need your MCAT score). But, some schools will screen the primary for MCAT and GPA before they send you a secondary, so you would need your MCAT score in for those particular schools. In all schools, without an MCAT score, your total app (primary, secondary, and LORs) will not be reviewed for a potential interview.
