hi everyone, i submitted secondaries all pretty late (i had 1 done on august 31st and the majority were complete by mid september) due to personal reasons. some people on reddit have said i shot myself in the foot by applying late with a below average mcat, but i’m wondering if i really should just give up hope now and start prepping a re-application?

EDIT: another question, i’ve been lurking on here for quite awhile and have noticed that at some schools people that submitted later than i did or around the same time have been getting IIs, so are schools really reviewing chronologically??
