I believe he learned the entire course of physics on sdn. You should have seen some of his first posts. I'd be surprised if he got less than a 12 PS now. We'll find out tomorrow!

From what I've read, the scores are often released a little earlier than 5pm. The last ones came out around 3:15pm.

Whether it's today or tomorrow, good luck ya'll

I checked tonight, you know just for excrement and giggles, and felt like I might actually throw up when I was typing in my password. How much worse is that gonna be when I know the scores are actually out? And this is coming from the perspective of actually feeling "pretty okay" about my test experience...


Edit: I don't know what the point of that post was. Other than that I need to share in these wonderful moments with people in similar places, and have no doctors in the family and no pre-med friends... (they're all dorks after all)

Because I'm procrastinating on writing more of my PS and obsessing over MCAT instead...the recent MCAT test dates and score release time...

I type lots of posts with no reason other than sharing

I know how you feel though. I felt pretty good about the real test and I was doing pretty well on my practice tests, however this was a retake for me. I got a 28 the last time so if I get a 28 again it will be worse than someone getting a 28 their first time

I'm a retaker too...good but expired score...and now I'm three years out from my last science class...

I don't even remember how to calculate SD. I know a 30-31 is a good score, but I don't think I'll be happy with anything less than a 33.

Ditto. Had a 34, so I really hate to go down much further below that

Same boat brotha. I honestly don't think I'd be happy with anything less than a 34 even though my gut tells me I'm probably looking at a 32/33

tomorrow will be the longest day of your lives.

i want to know the indian guy and medpr scored : O.

and our resident genius milski. Weve got some heavy hitters here :O .

I thought the Indian guy didn't take it on 4/5? I'm really curious too as to how medpr scored. Didn't know milski the PS genius took it on 4/5 either...

Gosh, I have to give a research presentation at a conference full of ophthalmolgists and PhDs at precisely 3:15 tomorrow. I definitely can't check my scores BEFORE the talk, but I just hope the anticipation doesn't distract me from my script!!!

I have absolutely nothing on my schedule tomorrow but study for my Physics and A&P finals. Can't wait to see what 3 months of MCAT prep hell got me.

milski took it on 4/5? And we all thought he was our friend!

Are you all sure he took it? He mentioned a few times that he wasn't taking it until Jan 2013. He's how I found out the AAMC is taking out the essay in 2013.

typical indian may of taking the 28th. i forget. fack my memory. and i assumed about mil but i guess I could be wrong.

17 days till my exam WOOT

Guys, I'd rather donate a tooth than write an essay on a test. I'm just stalking your thread. 'Cause stalking is what friends do, right? Right?

Let us eat, drink and... drink, for tomorrow we shall die.

thank goodness milski!! thank you so much

am i the only one not checking my scores tomorrow? tomorrow is my last day of undergrad finals EVER and the beginning of our senior week which ends with graduation on Sunday. Don't want to potentially ruin what should be a great week! not gonna look at mine until sunday night or monday morning

anyone else have insomnia tonight?

Yep I cannot sleep right now just thinking about my score!!!

My possible score that is, don't want anyone to freak out or anything...

jeez you guys must be nervous as hell right now. Good luck to you all I hope you get what you wanted!

No disrespect to anyone else, but I'm mostly interested in what score you get you seemed really prepared so im guessing something 35+ for you

I will be surprised if I got higher than a 35. I got two, maybe three 35's on AAMCs and no 36+.

cfive22 was doing better than me on the AAMCs. I'm interested in what he got.

I know this might be bad karma, but I caught myself thinking about it just now. This is something only retakers can understand, but what would be the worst part about getting a score equal to or lower than your first? Knowing that you definitely have to study and retake again, or knowing that it might be a death sentence to your chances at med school?

Going to do my best to not wake up until about 3pm EST See you all tomorrow.

MedPR, you've posted so much on this forum that I'm inclined to think, no matter what score you get, you're going to report at least a 34+ lol, in order to save face. Post a spoon pic of your score on your monior, or it didn't happen!

Good luck guys, hopefully you guys scored good enough to not have to retake.

I'm going to puke.

Even worse I'm in lab until 6pm EST (unless I get out early). Maybe I'll sneak out around 12 (aka 3EST). But then again I don't want my lab partner to see me cry. :S

Retaker right here. Told my fam and friends that whatever happens happens and I'll be okay with the score I get and won't go into a deep state of depression.....lies.

But really, I hope everyone's work pays off! We all worked way too hard for it not to!
