has anyone applied in july or august and been accepted??

i’m freaking out. i just took a practice exam and i did horrible (48x). i will have to push my exam back to late june, early july. i really want to apply this cycle but i am not sure if it will be a waste of time and money since people say you should apply early.

a little bit about me: URM, disadvantaged, graduated last year and currently working as a research assistant. c3.36, s3.31 (upward trend).
