If app is submitted now without MCAT, no school will look at my app correct?

I plan on submitting now and taking my MCAT in January, but from one of the school's websites I read it said they put your app on hold until the MCAT comes in. Do all schools do this where they do not consider you until the MCAT score is in? I would actually prefer that they do not look at my app until my MCAT score is in because I am counting on it to be one of the brighter spots of my app and I don't want the schools forming a negative impression of my app right from the start.

Most schools don't look at your app fully until all materials have been submitted. There are some schools that do extend interviews without official MCATs but they will not make a final decision until that MCAT and any other missing materials are sent in.

It will not harm you to submit the app early without the MCAT. I actually did the same so you should be fine. Good luck!!

I heard AZ Pod is the only school that will interview without looking at MCAT scores but they will not give a final admission decision unless you send the MCAT scores.

I should be able to send my application next week or at the end of December. I wanted to know how long does it take to process the transcripts? Assuming I send them all properly and at the same time.
