Its only 1:40 here and I am trying so hard to fall asleep. I can't stop thinking about why I didnt void my test after guessing on the last 10 questions. I guess I was hoping for a serious miracle or to just help the curve out. I took the test in 2004 and scored a 30N....I would be soooooooo happy with that score this time. There are around 30 good schools that accept that score from 2004...do you guys think they will still pay more attention to that score even if I bomb this test?

 

[soccerpunk60]

ditto that, it's late as crap here, and i can't seem to fall asleep

 

[LavenderDoll88]

I couldn't fall asleep until 12:30 and then I woke up at 4... It's 5:22 now and so hmmm I have like 12 hours until our scores come out. I have a four hour class at 9, it's my first one... I'm gonna die.

At least I love me some informercials So far I really really want the hulk holgan ultimate grill (it makes giant cookies!!) and I'm mad because my magic bullet didnt come with a free juicer

Have any of you thought about just... not looking? I am considering going on with my life without ever knowing what score I got on my MCAT... oh wait I am talking to people on sdn, never mind haha and I totally fit in too!!

Sorry. I'm really tired.

The day has come. It is early. I woke to the rattle of a torrential downpour and cacophonous crash of thunder. How perfect. ...

Good fortune be to all today.

 

[smp017]

that would be sooo nice if I could go on with my life without checking. I figure...if I really do that bad than I will just re-take the darn thing in september. I already turned in my primary Whats the worse that can happen...we get a bad score and have to re-take...right? Thats what I keep telling myself. I am hoping they release the scores early in the day. Are any of you guys applying to DO schools? People keep telling me that I should check them out. Goodluck everyone!

oh yeah...I just remembered that about a month ago...I got a fortune thing from a cookie and it said that I would hear some good news in 30 days...I am praying that its good news from today.

 

[FurmanJon]

hopefully it won't be tomorrow, and you end up just saving a bunch of money on your car insurance.

 

[smp017]

yeah...me too!

 

[dcowboys22]

good luck to everyone!

Thats halarious... the same thing happened to me!!!!!!!

 

[Jakofclubs]

Instead of obssesively checking our scores all day we should go do something outdoors (like frisbee golf and croquet) or something else fun.
Good luck to everyone.

I must aleviate my stupid stress that the worst nightmare has given me. So I was dreaming and then I realized on August 30th or so that the scores already came out and that I'm late. I should have sent them in! I printed them out and then sent them out to amcas and other M.D. schools (snail mail). Then I heard my mom saying what score did you get? My reply, hold on I'm going to sleep. Then I woke and thought oh what am I doing I should look at my score. Grogy eyed I look and saw a 34P and thought YES! then after rubbing my eye some more I saw a 24! Then I saw the break down it was ps 18 (80% percentile) vs 2 (12%) bs 2 (12%) and while panicing I thought how the hell did I recieve an 18 (when I dream evidently I'm horrible at math)? then I could hear my mother screaming "YOU SHOULD HAVE STUDIED MORE" for about another 10 minutes and I just awoke. I was also thinking about withdrawing all of my applications.

Talk about a bad omen

I feel so crappy now ARGH!

Conversely, relatively un-intelligent people can get a great GPA depending on their major, class selection, and institution. Study habits also factor into GPA. I know a few people I wouldn't consider super-smart, but have great GPAs, because they study all hours of the day.

Like you said, a good GPA does take hard work and persistence, but I would also say the MCAT measures your ability to apply what you've learned, not just regurgitate (i.e. most college educations). Plus, not many people are getting lucky on the MCAT and getting great scores. I imagine a "good day" would only affect +/- a point or two.

For the most part, as long as you are going to a good to great university, your GPA reflects intelligence and hard work. At crap schools a lot of the applicants average GPA's were 3.95 with an average MCAT of a 23. That really speaks a lot to me.

5 more hours...at the most

5 more hours...at the most

aaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

[Terna]

I'm actually eerily calm about all this now. I hear that's what happens sometimes if a person is in a car crash, the world just slows down and they think "oh, so this is how I will die" and this great calmness washes over them. Haha.

 

[Daedalus]

Stupid eastern time - I won't even be off work, so no chance to relax...

 

[Medic78]

Any chance of them posting the scores before 5?

You're calm now, but the 'collision' hasn't even happened yet... =/

Scores are not sent out via snail mail. If you want a paper copy, you can print a score report online using the THx system.

 

[ashal]

So, since they havent announced anything, does that mean scores will be released on time?

[chad5871]

Good luck you guys! I'll be thinking about you all at 5:00 today. I wish you all the best of luck! Try not to worry too much, just a few more hours to go...

i am freaking out here...got drunk last night.. been at school since 8..so my hangover anxiety coupled w/ this aamc anxiety is making me feel like my heart is going to just ****ing explodeeeeeeeeee

 

[Polynikes]

Has anyone reached an all time low because of this process?

I am seriously on google looking around at other professional schools that I could apply to because I just KNOW that I scored a 14J on this MCAT...

As of this moment, I am really excited about my future as a PA. I mean, doctors need good PA's right?

Besides, being a PA is one of the best jobs in health care these days.......







I have a tension headache that is so bad that my calves are sore...Okay maybe I made that last part up, but I do have a headache.

 

[soccerpunk60]

haha my heart is going nuts right now too.. and i have that really sick/nervous feeling in my stomach that i just cant get rid of. i think i'm gonna go out for a drive for an hour or so cause sitting in front of the computer is driving me crazy

 

[Nikki07]

You guys are so funny! But that doesn't take my nervousness away!

 

[elektroshok]

I am SOOO tired and all i want to do is sleep for like an hour before i go back to class and i cant...

This waiting game is ridiculous.. just tell me i got a 19

 

[Polynikes]

I'm actually excited about finishing up my master's in epidemiology and international health. Having been to almost 20 foreign countries, I am excited about playing a role in international health.

 

[mils617]

i can't do anything..i just keep thinking about my score all day long..it's driving me crazy..and i just know that I did horribly

 

[bessiedo]

so im sure some of you have done this before, like myself, but for those of you who havent just a warning... when you type in your password to get your score, the score just pops up; you dont really get any time to think about what you are doing before the score is right in your face... last time that obviously was a horrible thing for me since my score wasnt too great but hopefully this time it will be better

 

[elektroshok]

Is anyone else compulsively checking both THx and seeing if there are any new posts in the summer scores thread?

Becuase i am.

 

[smp017]

I am glad I am not the only one checking every 10 minutes to think they are up. I also keep checking SDN to see if anyone has recieved their score. I really think i got a 3 on the physical sciences section I guess the lower the score...the more i can improve when i have to re-take.

 

[elektroshok]

It really isnt the stress that i did bad.. it's the stress that if i did bad i will have to go through this whole god forsaken process again...

I've taken two other official MCAT's and this one had (by far) the worst PS of any test I've ever taken. Thats how I know that is was the hardest test. I'm sure there are tons of people out there who have taken other MCATs and will say the exact same thing. unless they are the rainman or an astronaut or an Fe6.

 

[soccerpunk60]

SCORE IS UP!!!!!!!! HELLLA MOTHA FKING YA!!!!! i GOT A 31P!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
