So I will be taking my MCAT on July 2nd and I am trying to get some thing straight in my mind. I've heard some mixed reviews on what is considered way too late to be complete, so some advice would be appreciated.
Lets say I submit my app early before I even take or get scores for my MCAT July 2nd. I'd get scores back early August, but my committee letter doesn't get finalized for up to a month after scores come back. This would put me at mid to late August to be fully complete.
So a few questions...
-Is this just way too late, or is it fine? I've heard mixed reviews and I just don't want to waste the money applying this year if my chances will be slim to none with this time frame.
-Do schools send secondaries and interview invites if your committee letter isn't in yet? or do you have to be fully complete with letter submitted before they even look at you?
-Also, is it just too risky to submit before scores come back this late? because if the score ends up too low then ill be considered a reapplicant next cycle for no reason, which sucks. Anyone with any experience with this?
Thank you all!
