I had June 21st then got scheduled to work. I'm able to get off this date. I'll be applying to DMU taking MCAT 6/16 so score back 6/17. I will contact them but I'm not sure if DMU will require Casper to send secondaries or interviews even. I changed it to July 8th, but now the more I think about it being back by July 12 to July 19th the better because I'll have everything in by then. What's your thought? The sooner the better?
 
I would think that (along with everything else in your application) the sooner the better. I'm not sure if your application is held pending these scores, but I would assume that it would be if it's the last thing on your "checklist" to submit. You could always call the admissions office to explain and see what they suggest. My personal opinion was that Casper wasn't bad at all and only takes about an hour if you skip the break. The day before the test, I read a lot of practice scenarios, mentally prepared responses in a coherent fashion and downloaded Grammarly prior to taking. Super easy and just another pre-screening tool schools are requiring. Read some MMI style (non-medical) questions and you'll be fine.
 
Do DO schools even require it? I've only heard of some MD schools wanting it.
 
Juggs I legitimately did a double take when I saw this post. No, DO schools don't require it
 
I contacted DMU. It is listed on Casper website but not required. I'm definitely not happy and trying to get this canceled
