LATE applicant

I submitted my primary back in June and had planned to take the MCAT in September but did not feel prepared and pushed it to January.

I received secondaries from the schools I applied to, and while I submitted them, I'm still waiting to take the MCAT.

I know that it will be a long shot, but is there any chance that I could receive at least an interview this cycle? I'm from Alabama and am highly interested in ACOM and VCOM Auburn.

I have my LORs in (DO included), 3.62 cGPA, above average extracurriculars, and am an URM applicant. However, my NS exams are only at 504, as of last week.

Any advice or help would be appreciated!

A lot of schools will not accept a January MCAT. You should just be prepared to apply in June. A 504 with your GPA and depending on what type of URM is potentially good enough for a lot of MD schools. I would bail on this cycle honestly, you will be selling yourself extremely short.

Wait. Apply on opening day of the cycle. If your MCAT is pretty close to your practice exam, I would assume you shouldn't have too many problems getting in next cycle.

There's always a chance, no matter how small it may be. You never know what may happen.

Take your MCAT first, then decide. One step at a time.

As a URM and with a half decent MCAT you basically write your own ticket prepare for next cycle

You could send a secondary to vcom at least. From my personal experience applying last cycle as a URM and with a lower MCAT/cGPA, you could get an interview but might get a waitlist spot this late in the cycle. Again though, it's still possible you could get in this late in the process.
