I'm planning to retake the mcat on july 29th, when do you guys think is a good time to submit my primary and secondary applications? I want to submit my application early for rolling ad schools, but I also want them to see my second mcat score when they make their decision. And scores are released on August 31.

For reference stats= mcat 30(12,10,8 BPV) cGPA 3.9 sGPA 3.8

Thanks for your input!

Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

From what I know, almost all schools don't make any decision until they see your completed secondary application which include any future MCAT date that you've INDICATED on your primary.

However, what I want to know is that...for schools that DO screen for secondary applications, do they wait for your future MCAT score even IF your current MCAT score (ie 30) and GPA are adequate to pass the screening?

Submit your ALL application materials as soon as possible. Let the schools worry about when to worry about it. Better safe than sorry.

So, no one knows for sure.
