MCAT Intent date dilemma and reverification

Hi I searched for answers but couldn't find any.

So I got a very big dilemma now. I just got my AMCAS verified today (9/16) but noticed that there was a MCAT intend date when I checked my application. I meant to put June 16, 2011 but ended putting July 16, 2011. I'm satisfied with my score and didn't intend to take the MCAT again. Will schools hold my application for a score that will never be sent? Should I have it re-verified? Should I email the schools that there was a mistake on my app and don't intend to retake the MCAT? Sorry so many questions. I don't want to wait another month or two to get my application verified again. Help is appreciated. Thank you!

I had this problem and called them up.

On your MCAT section, when it asks if you want to add a score from 2012 (or whatever), just select "No." You'll just have your scores and no additional intent.

So you don't intend on re-taking the MCAT. Remove it from your application. Then re-submit it. It will update the schools automatically. Contact schools that have aggressive rolling admissions and inform them of the change.

Good luck!
