How important is it to go through your school's committee to receive a letter from them, as opposed to simply sending in letters from your professors?
The reason I ask has to do with my scheduled MCAT date. I'm taking the MCAT May 22nd, and in order to use the committee, I need to have at least taken the MCAT prior to May 27th.
I'm considering pushing my MCAT date back to June 17th, since I am busy with school at the moment, and will be until finals are over (around May 7th). However, if I do this, I obviously wouldn't have taken the MCAT by May 27th, and thus wouldn't be able to use the committee.
Is this a critical loss on my application?
