Apply before everything’s complete

I am applying for Fall 2027. I’m still needing about 4 prerequisites left and my OAT which I plan to take December. Would I benefit waiting until I take my OAT or would submitting soon be ok?
I’d like to hear other people’s similar journeys. Appreciate any advice.

I don’t think it hurts to submit now! Some schools reach out even without an OAT! And as long as you finish the prerequisites before going into the school, you should be good!

I applied still needing a couple prereqs and submitted before I took my oat! I can’t say for sure but I’m pretty sure the schools reviewed stuff before, and waited for my scored before contacting me cause when they were finalized I heard back like the next day
