Wait to send in secondaries?

I could use some advice on when to send in my secondaries and what would be considered late in the cycle.

Stats: 3.9 sGPA, 3.9 cGPA, MCAT 24 (P 10, V 6, B 8).

EC's and LOR's are typical; lots of doctor shadowing, volunteering commitments, and strong letters.

My primary app is verified and I'm getting secondaries back already. I am retaking my MCAT on July 24th due to the 6 in verbal.

I have primary apps out to ATSU-KCOM, VCOM, KCUMB, LECOM-Erie, LMU-DCOM, Ohio, OK State, Pacific Northwest, RVU, University of Pikeville-Kentucky, West Virginia, Western (lebanon).

Based on the schools I've applied to and the current 6 in verbal, which schools should I wait to send secondaries to until I get my new scores back in August (hoping I improve verbal a couple points)? Which schools would be safe to send a secondary to with the current 24? Is late August/early September considered too late for secondaries?

Hey I have close stats to you MCAT!
I'd wait to send secondaries to schools who have a much higher MCAT average than your score right now (Touro, Western, CCOM, and NYTCOM come to mind)
@Goro would probably have the best advice for this!

Suggest waiting for the newer score; it's a longer cycle for DO schools

VCOM, LECOM-Erie, LMU-DCOM,OK State, Pacific Northwest, RVU, University of Pikeville-Kentucky, West Virginia, Western (lebanon).

Not at all.

I would hesitate to apply to RVUCOM with the 24; they rejected me post-secondary pending retake with a 3.75/25. Most other schools put me on pre-interview hold waiting for my retake score, and I got one II (LECOM-SH) with the 25.

I just got secondaries from RVUCOM with a 24 mcat and 3.3 gpa

You will likely get rejected from KCUMB pre-secondary because your VR score of 6.

Sorry, I typo-ed and meant post-secondary. Just corrected it. That was last cycle.
