Doh Doh Doh....
Ok, so I'm a Western Re-applicant from last cycle (which for me, was last APRIL)...
Anyway, I retook the MCAT and got what I think will be a kick-ars letter from a county medical director DO (read: community medicine!) who I've been working with...So I just spoke my uber-nice counselor
who gave me the option of submitting my goods to the adcoms NOW or to have them hold off until MCAT scores come in...I'm desperate!

Don't want to get rejected again with those same numbers, but it was VERY unclear as to whether one of the outcomes of submitting my stuff now could be, "we'll wait for your MCAT score"...She made it sound like they would decide something yay or nay...But didn't give me a solid answer. Help! Anyone?! I went with my gut instinct and had her submit with my old numbers (once she does that, there's no going back). Again, I changed my essays, added the new letter, and HAVE indicated that I took the Aug. MCAT..Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzzz this is tough

If you indicated that you took the Aug MCAT I would assume that they would consider your app incomplete until it arrives. If they have the rest of your app on file, it'll be processed as soon as they receive your new score. At least, this is the way I understand it to work...
 
They will wait to render a decision on your application. Best of luck this time round!
