If the school says, 2 sicence, 1 humanities rec, then DO NOT deviate from what they ask for. If you do, they will toss your app out the window because you can't follow directions.
I applied once, and got wait listed (I'm applying again). I was told by my advisors to always follow directions, always edit and spell check, and to be early with your applications. I did not miss any deadlines, but I was behind my schedule, and I think that is one of the main reasons I am not in school today!

As for taking the Aug MCAT, you can register now and get a refund if you decide not to take the test. The rule of thumb is below 27: re-test, 27 and above: apply and see where you get. 27-28 is a grey area, and up to you. You are lucky because there are 1 or 2 Lousiania schools that only accept residents. If you decide to re-take the Aug MCAT, keep in mind that schools will not look at your application until it is complete. Re-taking in Aug means you will behind schedule compared to the majority of the applicant pool, and that can hurt you (since most schools start interviews in Sept).
hope that helps!
