i know you can send out your AACOMAS without an MCAT score. will you get secondaries or will they wait for MCAT scores???
 
I think it depends on schools but most of them may. They just won't review your file until it has MCAT scores. If they use MCAT as one of their screening factors, you wouldn't recieve them until your MCAT scores are in.
 
I'm an August taker and have received secondaries from VCOM, NSU, PCSOM, and the "on hold" postcard from WVSOM.

Nothing yet from NYCOM, LECOM-B, and PCOM-A, but I don't think anyone has heard from these three yet.
 
Like everyone said, it just depends on the school. I have about 20 unfinished secondaries sitting on my desk and I haven't taken the mcat. All the osteo schools I applied to didn't screen. A majority of the allos didn't either. A good source of income for a lot of medical schools. good luck
 
Many of these schools screen with a GPA minimum, but without the MCAT in mind.
