Hey all, I am done filling out my app. and i am pretty much done with my personal statement. But i am still waiting on my april mcat scores. So i was just wondering if i should submit my apps and then put my scores in, or if i should just wait for my scores. Thanks for your help 🙂

Submit now and send your scores when they come in. That way everything will start getting processed now.

It takes up to 6 weeks to process your application. Thus, it could be sent in up to 6 weeks prior to your MCAT scores, barring any glitches in the application, which is inevitable, and will delay the processing further.
 
Yeah, submit now. I took the MCAT on Aug and didn't submit my app right away. Then I learned that it would take about 6 weeks to process, I submitted my app just a few days before the score release. I almost got heart attack because of my stupid mistake. It was not fun to wait for the interview and acceptance.
 
wow, great info. I am holding off on my application as well. I guess I will submit it right away.
thanks
