Hey guys,
So I sent in my primary application on June 1st to bunch of schools that are more or less within my score range (GPA 3.65 and MCAT 506). The thing is I'm currently studying for the MCAT to take it a second time and hope to get at l least a 515. I'm probably going to re-take it first week of August, meaning the results would come in first week of September.
1) If I update my application and say that I'm retaking the MCAT, would that put all my applications on hold if I send in the secondaries of the current schools I applied to? I want to have a bunch of schools with a completed application early on in July/August before adding new schools.
2) If I want to add more schools, would end August be too late? Should I not send in my secondaries until I get my score as to make sure that they see my improved score? I don't want to apply to them early on without them seeing my improved score.
I basically don't really know when to update my application because I want to re-take the exam without it putting all my applications on hold.
Thanks!
