SMP/MCAT question

Not sure where this string belongs but I just finished a well respected SMP program with a 3.87 and am planning on taking the MCAT on July 17. Does anyone think this is too late? Will it hold back my secondaries?

BTW my current MCAT is 30 but I know I can do 3-4 points better this time. Thanks for any help

That puts your primary app well into August. This won't just hold up your secondaries, it'll badly impact your total odds. Early! Broadly! Early! Broadly!

I think a 30 is absolutely good enough for you to apply June 1, and then you (had better) have a great asset to submit as an update to schools along with your secondaries.

My $.02.

So I can still submit my primary June 2, complete my secondaries and my score will automatically update and be sent to schools on August 18. Then Ill be complete at many schools by August 18. Is that ok?

Send the app out now, then update when you get the 34 MCAT. Best of both worlds.
