Without thinking it through, I took the MCAT August 18th. For some reason I had it in my head that I would apply next summer and then attend school that summer.. what I was thinking, or what drugs I was on, I don't know. Now I'm facing the prospect of applying next summer and then not starting class until the next year. So, two years from now..
Since I wound up taking the MCAT so late, I wrote off applying this application process because I would be getting my scores back so late. Well, now I'm thinking I want to apply to a few schools just to see if I can get in and save myself a year. Did I shoot myself in the foot for waiting until now, or does it not matter since I won't be getting my scores until Sept 19th or so anyways? I already have my PS written and I have a light college load this semester, so hammering out essays or finishing up my application shouldn't be too hard. Any ideas?
I realize it's late, but I feel like given some of my ECs, I'm a fairly competitive applicant overall.
Thanks for any insight
