Do you need MCAT scores to submit AMCAS application?

Will I receive secondaries without submitting my MCAT scores. I'm still waiting for them to be processed.

Yes. Your file just won't be complete and won't be reviewed at schools until the MCAT is released

So I will receive secondaries from these schools.

Some schools send Secondaries even before your application is completely processed by AMCAS.

In the interest of saving application dollars, why not submit to just one school now in case your MCAT score isn't what you expect, just to get in the queue for verification? You can add more later once you know how competitive you are. Your school list would be very different if you score a 504 vs a 514 or 524.
