So it looks like AAMC has announced that June 16th will be the Day of Truth. Just thought some of you might like to know!
sweatybrain said:good luck guys. I remember waiting for my score last October. I was doing someting on the confocal microscope and literally screamed so loudly that the microscope vibrated!
tazaman said:I was curious do you get the scores mid-day or is it more like as soon as the date changes to the 16th. I am freaking out and I don't know why!
Anyways I am with yall!

Taj said:Does anyone else find themselves recollecting all the mistakes they made while taking the MCAT....I had to guess on 1 and hlaf verbal passages by just skimming the text instead of reading it.....its haunting me day and night, well at least for the past 2 days..ughhh this is the worst feeling ever!
and whats worse is thisis my 3rd time...and last ...I think
Hey bhagwan!!!
sweatybrain said:I don't know about this time, but last october, a bunch of august mcaters stayed up on the night that the score was rumored to be posted and nothing happened (except that I drank a lot). The score came out the next day around 2 p.m. I remembered that the AAMC log in page specifically stated the time when the score would be released.
Good luck everyone. Just one more day
Was that last April? Because that sounds familiar.Arsenic810 said:the night mine came out it was hilarious the way they were updating that site. there we're literally messages like "scores will be loaded in the next 15 minutes" and then something like "anytime now...". I almost died when I saw the "anytime now..." message.

blee said:I did a quick search of April MCAT threads from last year. It looks like they actually posted scores on the evening BEFORE the official date. Sounds like they really don't have a set time for posting scores, since last August's results weren't posted until the afternoon of the posted date.
Heh.Arsenic810 said:
no, it was october 2003. it must have been the same IT people loading the scores though, at least they tried to calm us down.
EvoDevo said:Heh.
You know, the med education process seems like one big gut-churning event after another:
- The MCAT & score release
- Submission of your apps and response
- The Texas match for those of us in the Lone Star State
- Acceptance/rejection/waitlist for others
- Step I & score release
- Residency app/interview/match
- Step II & score release
- Step III & score release
- Board certifcation prep, test, and score release
- Fellowship app/interview/selection or rejection.
I think I'm gonna go be an English teacher or something......

Oh, I've already been through the first couple of those. The next fun event is Step I. Just making commentary about how the experience never changes, just the name of the trial. :\LowlyPremed said:Remember the big picture. There will be more good days than bad. Its just the anxiety talking. Two weeks from now if someone ask us what it was like waiting for the score, we'll probably say something like "I was nervous but it wasn't that big of a deal."
Only if I could believe that crap that I just said, I'd be a whole lot less nervous.
gujuDoc said:A former MCAT teacher said it beautifully when he was discussing his Personal statement. He's greek, so he was telling me in a poem from The tales of Odesius (sp??) there was a bit about the following:
it said: It is not about the final finish line, but the journey to getting there. For it is the journey to the finish line where you learned the most and gained the most. The finish line is only the icing on the cake.
There will always be the good days and the bad days. Some days we feel like giving up. Other days we remember why we are glad we chose the profession we chose. If a person wants something bad enough, they learn from the obstacles and move forward.
Clocks said:The message says something else now:
The April 2005 scores will be available here on Thursday, June 16 (i.e., tomorrow).
The bold part is new!
Taj said:I think that bold part is meant for those of us who have lost all track of time and civilization while curling up in the corner in a fetal position. (in the dark...of course next to a computer)
gujuDoc said:
Sounds like me and 90% of the rest of us on here.
I'm only once every 10...!Arsenic810 said:how often are you guys seriously checking THx now, once every 5 minutes?
Clocks said:
This thing is insane
Arsenic810 said:how often are you guys seriously checking THx now, once every 5 minutes?
FREAKS! Its not like I was checking it every 5 minutes when I was waiting for my scores 2 years ago.BoogieGnome said:Every 15 minutes. Its an automated task. Seriously.
