So I know the SDN orthodoxy is to apply the day applications open. In fact, I've seen many applications tanked with the only ostensible reason being applying even slightly late. As I understand, applications open early May for you to begin entering data and fiddling around, but you can only submit as soon as early June. When it is said that you should be "complete" as soon as possible, does this refer to the early-June date?
If so, it appears that the 2015 exam dates won't be released until mid June, which could be a decisive disadvantage. Can this be possible? If it is, are the med schools going to be understanding of the extenuating circumstances. So I know you don't needyour MCAT to complete the verification process above (the early Jume deadline) but when will schools first start to notice your application will you have time to adjust your schools after you receive the MCAT (if necessary)?
I guess the takeaway question I'm asking is, what's the latest I can take the exam with no disadvantage (as compared to already having an MCAT2014 score)? Would taking June 20th exam put me at a disadvantage with scores being released in July? And how about May?
A perfunctory search resulted in no answer to this.
