In lieu of the other threads popping up, I thought it'd be good for those of us taking the test to identify ourselves :thumbup:

I'm not planning on following a rigid study schedule until January, but I think I'm going to watch a single video off of wikipremed daily to lightly review.

Good luck to everyone... we will crush this exam..

AAMC/MCAT twitter update:

"We do not have a specific time that the 4/26 and 4/27 exam scores will be released. We will tweet as soon as they are."

The good news: that means it's today!

Good luck everyone!!

How weird would it be for me to do a rain dance at work? I want to invoke the power and mercy of the mighty and omnipotent AAMC.

I ended up with a 27. 9/9/9. Really bummed because I scored 1-2 points below my average on Verbal and Bio. How do I underscore on my 2 best subjects?

Unsure if I will apply MD or not. I am a Florida resident and my UG gpa from 12+ years ago will haunt me with a 3.0. Even being a Chiropractor of 8 years might not save that application. My DO stats will be much more competitive. 3.54 gpa with a 27.

I'll think on it over dinner tonight and see if the cost and time of filling out AMCAS as well is worth it.

Congrats! I'm a little disappointed with a 36, but I guess it's not worth a retake.

Not really going to make excuses why I didnt score higher. Hope everyone got some good news.

35 with 14VR, 11BS, 10 PS. I never got this uneven of a spread with practice tests and tended to get BS>VR>PS, with BS around 12 and PS around 11.

Oh wells, whatcha gonna do?

Oh right, predictions.

AAMC range: 33-38
AAMC average: 34.5
Post-MCAT prediction: 34+ (with 11 PS, 12BS, and 11 VR)

I got a 29 (11/7/11)....I am really disappointed because I've never got a 7 in verbal reasoning before - I think I'm in denial right now. My verbal scores have fluctuated the most from 8 - 13 on my practice exams but the most frustrating thing is I felt like I aced the verbal section and I can usually accurately gauge on how well I did after taking a practice exam for verbal.

I wish i could see what I got wrong on verbal....

Took 5/18 test, thought I did really well on verbal so I hope this doesn't happen to me.

Actual: 34 (11PS, 10V, 13BS)

I'm pretty happy with this test although I am a tiny bit disappointed because I put in more effort than any of my 3 friends who took it last year and all got 37s.

28(11,7,10). Couldn't been happier. I averaged 28 on AAMC FL's. This is my second mcat test. My first one was 20(8,3,9).

Now, I can move on to the next steps in my AACOMAS.

Thank you, everyone, for your support.

That's a nice balanced score for DO. However, I wouldn't waste your money on OOS MD schools.

Wow, nice score, but I'm not surprised. We all knew you were going to score 35. Didn't we?

Haha I guess so. Atleast the score was right on the money!

Congrats on you getting to your goal. Keep us posted on how well your app season goes. I will likely do the same on this thread.

As Gandalf said, might be worth it to apply FL state schools and see what happens. I know UCF trends towards non-trads.

I'm hoping to see good results from the north eastern DO schools as that's where I'm originally from, PCOM, Touro-NYC etc.

Sigh. 31 (12-8-11). Better than my 30 last year (12-10-8) but I don't know what happened to my verbal.

=(

I guess I'll be the one to break up all this happiness: I got a 24- 10PS, 8VR, 6BS (I suspect others who didn't do as well don't want to post their scores)

Congrats to all those who achieved their goals! Suffice it to say I got what I deserved. Taking classes while studying for MCAT is not a good idea, so I kind of expected to not do so hot (plus I only took 1 FL before the real thing). Luckily I have been busting balls on the SN2ed schedule for the past month and I know that I can do better next time.

Its funny because I thought I got murdered by PS and that BS went really well, but I guess your post test feelings mean nothing.

See you again on August 15th, MCAT.

AAMC average: 31 (ranging from 29 to 34)
Feeling after test: actually felt quite good, but had no idea really
Actual: 32 (12, 9, 11)... okay I guess, but pretty disappointed with the verbal, got 11 on every single AAMC except for a 10 on one.
