Yup you’ll be on time with that timeline

You can submit without your mcat score being officially received though just to get into the verification Queue. If your app is ready June 1st...it can be submitted June 1st. Not absolutely necessary if you don’t want to send it without seeing the number first, which is reasonable, just letting you know.

Try to submit all secondaries by first week of August. If you truly want to be early, you want to be complete everywhere that will start sending IIs the first week of August

Some Registrars will not release a transcript if you are in the midst of a term. Check with your Registrar's Office to see what their policy is. For those on a trimester system, this could be well into June.

With the schedule you've set forth, you would not be "early," but you would have average timing (aka, not "late").

Also remember to have your LORs ready to go as they are needed to complete your app. And check to see if any of the schools you're interested in require CASPer (if so, take it by the end of July).

thanks everyone. I will keep that timeline then.

Yes I will try to do that. After I submit primary I will have nothing else left to do but write secondaries so that should not be a problem.

Take MCAT by Jan, 2019

Submit Primary app by May 31st, 2019.

Submit all secondaries within 12 hours of receipt

Thats how I would do it, but this is definitely on the neurotic side. I would just consider that if your already planning ahead so far from August the year prior, why settle for anything less than day 1. Shoot your best shot dude

I am. Hence the "by" part. 🙂

Transmitting your primary on day 1 (June 29-July 1st; I.e submit within the first week of June) and then Complete everywhere by the end of July.

I agree with being Complete everywhere by Aug 1. Note that different adcomms have slightly different definitions, probably based on their institutional practices and/or experiences.

Great. Will shoot for that.
