My first mcat which was a while ago was terrible and my current mcat ill be taking in may and getting my score back june 26th...So I was just curious, when I submit my primary do I give them my aamc number, report my previous mcat score, and add that I have another mcat in progress? Does that hinder my chances of getting secondaries? Thankssssss.
 
That's basically exactly how it works. And it won't hinder because if you submit the first week in june, you won't be complete until the first week in july and when you link scores, it takes about one day for aacomas to add it to your app. So you will be fine.

Yeah you're right on. You'll login to AAMC, view your scores, and electronically submit them. Like Stok said, it'll take about a day for them to receive it. So if you submit your application in early June... when you receive your MCAT score, you should submit it electronically and your entire primary app should be considered "complete" by late June, which is very early. I don't think AACOMAS verification begins until like... early/mid June anyway... so you'll be fine. 🙂
