So this question has been asked before, bu tI haven't seen a single answer. My understanding so far is that if I apply early (beginning of June), without my MCAT score (I sit July 18th), then my primary application...
1) ... will be verified by AMCAS
2) ... will not be used to screen for a secondary application for most schools
3) ... will still be used by schools once my MCAT score is in
So if a school passes by my appication because the MCAT score is not attached, will they look at it once the score is in, or do they only look over a primary once (and that's it)?
Also, does anyone know about the schools that are using the LOE option on AMCAS? I wasn't expecting to have to get my application ready so early (I'm Canadian and our application deadlines are typically end of October and no Canadian school uses rolling admissions) so to get good reference letters in such a short notice might be difficult depending on how many letters are ideal (I have two or three that would be good despite the time frame - how many letters should I have for AMCAS?)
Any useful comments out there?
