July MCAT Timeline Question

I am taking the MCAT July 6, and I plan on submitting my primary on June 1, but should I wait to add the other schools I am applying to? I feel like I may change my mind based on my MCAT score... or maybe not apply at all!

Any input is helpful, thanks

I think you should probably just include them... if you don't like your MCAT score you don't have to submit the secondary.

I was going to ask something similar...I have taken the mcat, but it was 4 years ago, and received a competitive DO score, but definitely plan on retaking as the score is old and I think I can do better. I am planning on taking either may 31 or June 21, but applying this cycle. Can I submit my primary june 1 to be early with my old mcat score and update my applied to schools with the new score? Or Should I wait to send in my primary until this second score comes in because my gpa is already borderline without a better mcat?

Most schools only accept MCAT scores that are 3 years old or less. So you can submit, but will have to update your primary with your new scores.
