i took my mcat on july 17 this past summer and i've gotten two med school acceptances thus far. so i think analyzing the difference between may 20th and june 2nd is splitting hairs in terms of how late/early the score will get to you. i honestly dont think it'll matter. just pick the date that you feel you'll be best prepared for.
what i did was i submitted my AMCAS in late june, focused on mcat studying, then after july 17, i began pre-writing secondaries until i got my scores back. then i added more schools (i initially only added 1 school when i submitted my primary. then i felt like i did well enough on the mcat to add a few more schools, then i added my full list when i finally got my actual mcat score back). then i began submitting secondaries during the 3rd week of august and finished all but two of them by the 3rd week of september, i believe. then i submitted those last two secondaries on november 15th lol. they were major reaches and so my defeatist attitude saw no point in filling them out until the last minute. i spent money on the apps so, i might as well. and i somehow got an interview at one of those schools i submitted to!
so yeah, your mcat date is fine. just get the ball rolling early on your AMCAS app and then start on your secondaries early as well. if you end up submitting your AMCAS app before you get your mcat score, try to only put down 1 school to save yourself money and trouble if your mcat score ends up less-than-ideal. good luck!
