I almost feel better not being able to see the score. It's like Schrödinger's cat cat right now. My score exists in two distinct states: great and crappy.

I'm afraid that I am going to open the THx history website to find a "dead kitty."

i keep refreshing smh

Shoot. I have a lab final when the scores will be released AND a presentation on a term paper about the aromaticity of azulene.

I'm sure the grades won't be posted until after 5 pm today (ET). But I'm still logging on every hour just in case!

i think even for the first mcat the time was after 5 pm EST .https://www.aamc.org/students/applyi...rerelease.html However, they posted the scores earlier. The best thing is to divert the mind towards doing something. Take yourself as far away from the computer/smartphone as possible. There is no point being miserable every second . I know it is easier said than done.

The registration calendar does show April 24 at 5 PM ET as the release date/time. Do they usually also email us the date and time of when the score will be released?

Not they don't. You will simply reload the THx page and see that your scores have posted.
They do usually release the scores a few hours early. 5pm ET is the time at which they are available, but for what I can see (and I took it once already), scores are release 2 to 3h before that time. Of course there is no guarantee...

Thanks.

I've also been looking through some past MCAT threads in this forum, and it looks like scores are usually released by about 3:15 PM ET. Yikes!

That's what we call "having a problem."

The scores might be coming out in 30 minutes.

So nervous my balls have been sucked back into my lower back. test was hard brah i'll **** myself if i get at least a 30

No that's called being a boss!

I thought the test was really hard too!! im hoping for above 30...

We thought waiting a month was bad, these last few hours have been torture.

It's only a problem when the alcohol runs out. Kidding. My co-workers are taking me out to celebrate a good score, or to forget a bad score. We don't know yet.

Raise your hand if you just did the 3 o'clock check

My heart rate has been over 90 for about 3 days now haha. Hopefully this is almost over...

*Raises hand* This waiting is excruciating. I can't even procrastinate peacefully.

My resting is around 95 so I envy you if that's your ELEVATED.

the scores are out . i got 29O . Ripped apart

Gah! I'm never prepared for the scores to just *be* there...

Scores are up.

They're up!

Did everyone get what they expected ?

Come on guys time to post average AAMC scores, predicted and actual scores ( or at the very least range? Or points e.g scored 2 points over practice AAMC) for the sake of the nerves of future MCAT test takers.

bump

Let's just say, there's going to be some massive celebration tonight

Got a 31S. Pretty much what I expected, and it's a decent distribution!

10/13/11/T (34T)
Do you think the 10 on verbal will ruin me?

Nope that's a solid score and distribution! It's enough for top tier assuming your GPA is above a 3.7

31
I thought I did much worse on verbal, and much better on physical, got what i expected on bio.
overall, i got my expected score, as 31.5 was my aamc mcat practice test avg.
I think i can work with that...

PS:12, VS: 7, BS:10. My life is ruined ((((((((( Verbal screwed me in and out (((((((((Does anyone think I stand a chance ??

I got a bit below (average was 38+), got 36P (with a low VR:9). Not too shabby, I will take it!

You have the same exact MCAT score as I got read my mdapp and you will realize you have a chance.

Practice: 29-34
Actual: 33N (11PS 11BS 11VR)

Did anyone run out of time - like on a whole passage - on VR and still got 9-10?

averaged 36 (PS 12 V 11 BS13)

got a 32S. (PS 11 VR 11 BS 10)
with my stats that means no med school. who's on the retake train?

EDITED: added in my section stats

A 32 and ur retaking ... plus why are you saying no MED school .. are you only shooting for the best schools or something? you can get accepted easily with that score in alot of medical schools

.

AAMC Average 29-30

Predicted- Didn't have a clue

Actual- 9/9/10 P

Looks like a retake will be in my future.

dude don't sell yourself short. you are absolutely getting into med school

I hope so! After this semester, I expect to have an overall GPA of 3.7 − 3.71 and a science GPA of 3.67. With that and a 34T on the MCAT, do you really think I stand a chance to get into a top tier school? I would love anyone's opinion here! I'm hoping for any top 20 (or ideally a top 10) school. I have really amazing extracurrics and research (I have 1 publication and 5 other papers being submitted for publication, and I'm a first author on 2 of them), and I know my letter of recs will be great. Do I have a shot of getting into a top school? Or should I retake MCAT?

33Q (11, 11, 11). A little disappointed, but within my range (28-36). I'll see if I have to retake it when I talk to my advisor (I'm applying MD/PhD), but I'm really hoping my GPA and research makes up for it!
