How did you react to seeing your MCAT score?

I blasted Kevin Rudolf's - I Made It on my surround sound system...danced around for a bit...then went to play tennis.

I was volunteering in the emergency department and checking the MCAT web page whenever the patients I was visiting were discharged. Finally saw that scores were up, added the subscores up, and then added them over again. I was super happy but waited until I finished volunteering and drove back home to freak out. Dinner tasted delicious.

1. Looked at the computer.
2. Entered a realm of indecision between retaking and not retaking.
3. Decided to stop being a *****.
4. Continued on with my life.
5. Partied.

1st time: Disappointment

2nd time: RELIEF!!!!! Having to take the MCAT more than once is a pain I do not wish upon my worse enemy. Even though my score was good the second time, I could not feel happy. It was just relief.

I was in surgery all morning and well into the early afternoon. Checked my iphone obsessively but discreetly the minute I got out of surgery and finally scores were posted around 3 pm. Was very calm and did not react to my scores when I saw them - I was at lunch with a doctor. Was pleasantly surprised by my physical science score, not very pleased with my verbal though I recognized it was decent, and not-so-pleasantly surprised by the bio section. My essay score sucked just as much as I expected. Overall, I was not stoked, but was ok with it. Considered re-taking, but it was too late in the cycle and I didn't want to have to go through that again. At the end of the day, I decided to be happy because it was an overall good day after all. My first day of surgeries went smoothly and I didn't bomb the MCAT.

i had been scoring in the 40 range on practice tests but felt like i got a 28 or something on the real test

ended up pleasantly surprised with a 36 so i called up a bunch of friends, smoked a lot of weed, drank a lot of alcohol, and woke up the next morning not remember much of the night before.

**** was SO cash

Didn't know you could become a surgeon before you got your MCAT scores back!

had sdn open and refreshed all day. made brownies to get my mind off of things. someone posted that the scores up. contemplated whether or not i should check.. and decided, heck i need to see it.. and was in complete shock. checked the scores a few times, refreshed the page... cried.. re-check scores to make sure it wasnt a nightmare.. cried some more.

 

[roberco0908]

The entire week before the score report was filled with dreams of me getting a 15. Got the score on my phone when I was driving with my dad and was very happy!.......... then I realized I still had an entire AMCAS to fill out

 

[Andnosoupforyou]

started crying with happiness... legit thought I got a 28, got a 37 instead =)

Danggg...

I am glad there are so many good stories out there, but man. Let's just say my MCAT score day was the first day I considered smoking a cigarette I didn't but I actually thought about it.

I checked for my scores compulsively the entire day. I think they're supposed to be up at 5PM and mine went up at like 2:43. Was checking them on my phone and had everything covered... slowly started to move my hand off of the screen and looked at my score one part at a time from PS-VR-W-BS. It was basically like... wtf really? oh that one's okay... O!?!?!?!?! oooh!!!!! Resulted in overall feeling of giddiness and I ran around the beach house we rented (perhaps more accurately described as a beach mansion) for about 10 minutes before I found family members to jump around with. In hindsight - WTF an O? Really? I suppose future test takers should avoid writing about Jersey Shore and Bear Grylls.... and make sure you actually answer the question.
