Hello all,
I've searched this but didn't get a good answer.
So I took the July 2 MCAT and submitted my AMCAS a couple days later. For the "Standardized Test" section, it asked about futures test dates and specifically said to click "yes" for upcoming or recently taken MCAT exams. Since I took the MCAT a couple days before submitting, I clicked "Yes."
I received my score this past Tuesday and am not retaking MCAT. The same day I received my score, I added more schools to my list. Today, as I was checking my AMCAS, I made sure that my MCAT score was loaded (which it was), but I noticed that the "Yes" still indicated that I was anticipating a new score. I just changed it to "No" since schools should not expect a new MCAT score.
I am wondering if this has negatively impacted my application in any way. I know that schools do not look at apps until the new score is in. Will my application move up in the pile of apps? I am still waiting to be verified, but I'm a little worried that schools will be confused about a future MCAT score. I added schools that do not pre-screen for secondaries, and I have only received one secondary from the list so far.
Thank you!
