Hi everyone,

I forgot to send my MCAT scores to AACOMAS. I was not paying attention and did not know that I needed to send them separately. I have now submitted 3 secondaries and have two more in waiting. Should I hold off on submitting secondaries until my MCAT scores are received?

Did you receive secondaries without an MCAT score?

Did you receive secondaries without an MCAT score?

I did yes.

I doubt you would get an interview without one. I would just prewrite those secondaries while you wait for your scores to verify then you can submit as soon as they go through.

What about the 3 secondaries that I already submitted without the official score? Is my app going to get stuck in review limbo?

Wait a little bit to be safe. It generally only takes a few days for AACOMAS to receive the official. As for the ones you have already submitted, don't stress it. They won't review them until they have received everything. I did the same thing as you, and some schools show they that have my secondary but they are missing my MCAT. One school reached out to me and told me once I submitted my official MCAT, they would send me their secondary. So if the school was willing to send the secondary with only the self-reported, they are willing to accept it with only the self reported. But again, they won't look at it until the official score (and everything) is there.
