When to submit secondaries in my situation?

I have submitted my primary application and have gotten 13 out of 15 of the secondary application invites back since I was verified (less than a week ago). I took the MCAT in April and received a 25 on it. I retake the MCAT on 8/21, and noted such on my primary application. Should I wait until I receive my new test scores to submit my secondary applications, or should I submit my secondaries before I receive the new score and hope that I don't get denied an interview anywhere?

All responses are appreciated!

You could apply with your 25 now and probably be fine. They may just wait to send out ii's after receiving your second score or put you on a waiting list for interviews pending the new MCAT score. It would be better to get those secondaries in now rather than later imo

I agree with above.

Thanks! I kind of figured I should submit my secondaries early since schools have a rolling admissions process.

Certainly won't hurt to get started on essays anyway. In my experience, the personal statement and essays take the longest time, and the earlier you start thinking and planning them out, the better. Not many (of the ones I am currently completing) reference academic performance, much less MCAT scores. Mostly about motivations. Some don't even include essays, and are pretty quick to return.
