Ok...With my frightfully LOW, TERRIBLE MCAT score will I even get secondary apps early? I send my primary in back in May...I have great EC's, great rec (especially from a DO) 3.8 overall, 3.5-3.6 science...HELP!!!
 
Some schools send secondary applications to all the applicants.

Other schools only send them to the applicants they are still considering for acceptance.

I guess it depends on your MCAT.

Good luck.

Oh here are a few of the schools I applied to...

Ohio U (my #1)
LECOM
PCOM
West Virgina
Pikeville
Kirksville
Chicago
Des Moines
( and another one I can't think of)
 
All of those schools, I believe, send out secondaries to everyone. Except WVSOM, I think. I think they sent me my secondary after they invited me for an interview.

Don't worry. You have a good GPA and I'm sure that that will mean something and could make up for your MCAT score. I hope you end up getting into Ohio U! 😀
