Are there DO schools that will send secondaries without MCAT scores? I feel like taking the test June 30th instead of June 16th would be beneficial but I do not want my application to be late because of this. If I have all my secondaries in by August 1st am I still doing well?

As @Goro usually says, the DO cycles runs much longer and September/October can still be considered early/on time.
Also, I think most schools can send secondaries without MCAT scores and letters. I submitted my primary 2 days ago but my MCAT score doesn’t come out until this Tuesday

Did you receive secondaries? I plan on applying May 28th and prewriting secondaries if they don't send me them.
You can submit your app to schools without having an MCAT score. Best advice is to apply either to a throw away or one school that you really want to attend. This way your app will get verified and GPA calculated. Once you get your exits then submit to the rest of the schools you want to apply to

Don't rush to take MCAT. DO cycle is way longer than MD. Just submit your application for a throw away school so it get verified.

Secondaries are often a tax on the hopelessly optimistic, if not pathologically naive.

I just got verified this afternoon (submitted May 17th) and my MCAT score comes tomorrow. I also did what @dj-Roomba said and applied to a school I really want to go to. I will add more tomorrow based on MCAT score
