Hey guys,

Thanks for your help. So I want to submit my primaries in June, but I also wanted to retake MCAT in July. My first was 12, 11, 6 VR, so I definitely need to bring up the verbal... I don't want to jeopardize not getting secondaries because schools will only see my first score, so should I attempt to take MCAT earlier, as in May even though I am pretty swamped until then, or submit primaries later, or stick with the original plan?

I guess I'm a little confused about the timing, do you generally want to have the MCAT score you will use BEFORE you submit primaries, or is having a pending score all right? Do most school screen who they give secondaries to based on MCAT and gpa? My gpa is good 3.9 biology

Thanks so much! I really appreciate your advice

I have the same question, can anyone provide feedback?
 
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but as far as I know, schools don't start reviewing your file until they have all your scores in.

Some schools screen GPA/MCAT before sending out secondaries while others just auto-send it to everyone.
