Should I Apply Now?

Ok so I took the June PCAT scored a 73 on it, (only studied for about a week and a half). I have a 3.73 GPA. I just transferred into University of South Carolina (from a CC in NJ) as a junior to finish up some pre-reqs, mainly A&P and physics. Ideally I want to get into USC's program for next fall, and I hear that applying early is key (prob will sometime early September). YET I want to retake the PCAT in October to boost my app.

So if I were to take the PCAT in Oct then would those scores supersede the former if they were better?

Also this is prob a question that I should bring up with the school, but I might as well give it a shot. USC is preferential to their students, if I apply early and don't yet have a full semester under my belt at USC, will they consider me not there student?

I'm not entirely sure about South Carolina, but it's better to apply early and you have the stats to apply.

Your stats are very good. As long as you have completed or will complete all of your prereqs by Spring 09, it would wise to apply early.

what if you're going to be taking the PCAT for the first time this August. Should you apply once you get your score or should you just apply right now?
