Once MCAT scores are released, how long will it take to get to the schools?

[reese07]

My MCAT scores will be released Sept. 28 and I know there are schools with an Oct 1 or 15 deadline. If I already have my primary and secondaries in and just waiting for the MCAT scores, will it not be too late?

It'll get to AMCAS/sschool around a month later...It PROBABLY won't be "officially late" but it'll be "unofficially late", in the sense that you're one of the latest students they look at, for schools that are on rolling admissions.

I meant a month after you take the test; sorry if that wasn't clear!

The schools have to receive it and also process it, and we all know it takes schools a long time to do paperwork at that point in the cycle.
