So, I took my MCAT in March, and I got 12/6/12.
I am going to retake in June.

Should I still finish my personal statement + application and submit my primary app as soon as possible?
Or can I just wait till I am done with my MCAT and then finish my application?

I searched for this here, and it looks like I still can get some secondaries without my new MCAT score...
 
I don't know man... something tells me that the 6 on verbal will not bode well...

Apply to one (throwaway) school to get your verification going while you wait for your results to make the real list. You can still start working on secondaries in the meantime.

Thank you.
Does that mean I still have to finish my personal statement to get verified as soon as possible?

Yes. Once you submit the application, you won't be able to alter the PS essay. To get verified, you also have to have your college Registrar(s) send in your official transcript so they can match it to what you've entered on the application.

Be sure to mark your future MCAT date on the primary application. If you move the date later, this is one of the few areas you can go back in and change.
