So...

I took my MCAT's in June, so I'm planning on submitting my AMCAS for verification marking down "future MCAT", and having everything ready by the time my scores come out in July.

I have a few questions. 1) If it turns out that I got a 25 on the MCATs (for whatever reason), and I already turned in the AMCAS for verification, what would I do then? Do I simply just not follow through with the rest of the application, and reapply after a gap year?

2) What should I put down for my list of schools when I'm submitting it for verification? Does it matter? I was thinking of putting down just one school, so that in case my MCATs are bad I don't hurt my chances with a lot of other schools, and then in case they are decent I'll just add the rest of the schools after it comes back from verification and after I receive my MCAT scores. Does that logic work?

Thanks a lot guys.
 
1) It depends on what kind of school you want to apply to. If you desire a high caliber schools, I would wait and retake the MCAT's. But be sure that you can improve it. Now if you had a super high GPA, I would just go ahead. Otherwise, maybe withdraw your application and wait.

3) I believe you can submit one school for now, and submit the rest later. You can always add on schools. It's just hard getting your transcripts submitted and your app verified, which you already have done.
