ok guys heres my question. Im taking the mcat may 30th and scores wont be back till early july. My applications are done, obviously i will submit them to be verified while waiting for scores. When I submit to be verified, should i submit to all the schools I want to apply to or just 1? Why? Also, when should i send out letters of recommendations? After my mcat or before? Trying to get it done as early as possible.

You want to apply to just one on the off chance that your MCAT doesn't turn out as expected. If that score is sent to all those schools and then if you decide to take another year to reapply, they will wonder why it took two attempts to apply to their school. Basically, you don't want to unnecessarily be deemed a 'reapplicant'. A one shot deal is best. Once you get your score and you're happy with it, you can quickly add on more schools and they'll receive it. Letters of recommendation should be in asap, b/c you want to give your letter writers about 3-4 weeks to write a solid letter.
