my score helped all of you 😀

so you can pay me back in food or hugs..i'm feeling very insecure and vulnerable now

While I can't state how you did.... feel better that you tried. Your perserverence in taking the test is admirable, and I hope that you are pleasantly surprised. Since you were so tired, maybe nothing FELT like it made sense... but with the high practice scores you got, I'm sure that there was some innate knowledge that found it's way through. Just keep your head high! You did all that you could.... your determination and dedication will pay off... even if it is down the road....

*hugs*

The MCAT isn't such a nice kitty...if you take a test that size and walk out not kicking yourself, that just means you probably should be. Happens to everyone, me included. All you can do now is take a deep breath and hand the matter over to the Scantron Gods. (yes, waiting sucks, but try not to stress.) I think you'll be pleasantly surprised

Remember, you're not being normed against the ideal premed - just regular people, whose brain and other body functions also enjoy a good malfunction.

Hey PD,

Chill out man! There's nothing you can do about the MCAT right now. I really think it's going to be bad for your health if you keep thinking about it. As for me, I don't think I did that great, either, but I realize I can't do anything about it. Instead, I am focusing on those essays that I have to write for the secondaries. I think you mentioned that you are going to submit AMCAS soon. So take a deep breath and get the MCAT out of your mind and send in that sucker.

But if you really think you did horribly, you can always take a year off. In the end, it's not going to matter if you became a doctor at the age of 26 or at 27.

So just relax! I know it's easier said than done, but you shouldn't worry about things that are beyond your control.

uh, thanks..i hope you're right but i'm not counting on it. And my practice scores weren't really that good...to actually think that i was hoping to do better on the real test is laughable now. But i do believe in one way or another determination and perserverance does pay off.

*hugs*

aww thanks for the hug 😍 (yes i needed that!) the MCAT brings out the weakness in all of us...ok..most of us.

and i do keep forgetting you don't have to get 90% right to get a decent score...and that we are all regular people with normal problems and malfunctions.....well said!

 

[Psycho Doctor]

ahhh...you're right and i need to practice what i preach...my pastors and others would be VERY disappointed in me.

And you are sooo right about the apps...i need to get them done; it just seemed so disheartening and all when i feel like such a failure....

 

[Scandal]

Psycho Doctor, I'm sending you hugs too! I know how hard you've worked, and it's not wasted.

This MCAT was the second time I took it. (April 2004 was the first.) I knew I didn't do very well the first time, but it's not the end of the world. The MCAT will always be there! (I don't know if that's a promise or a threat.)

Anyway, good luck. I hope we're all pleasantly surprised in mid-October. Definitely don't give up! Those secondaries are calling your name now...

[Scandal]

Getting possessive, are we, Diesel?
No problem. I'll send you hugs too. (You don't bite, do you?)

 

[Elastase]

Damn you guys are corny...

Hugs? do you think the merciless AAMC wants to give you a hug when they lay the smack down and give you back your score?

They plan to leave a bad taste in your mouth, not a hug...its more like a b*tch slap...

Sorry, I dislike the AAMC, even though I plan to join them someday...

Hi guys. I just wanted to add a couple of reassuring thoughts here. First of all, your feelings after the test aren't a very good indicator of your performance. It's very common to focus on the negative elements of the test, i.e. the number of questions you guessed on or the number of passages you skimmed. In reality, I'm sure everyone did well on certain passages or discretes and was able to answer these confidently. But since you have a great deal of emotional stake in the questions that stumped you, your inclination is to fixate on these giving you a negative overall picture.

Secondly, worrying is good, but only if it helps to better your situation. No one can change how they did on the MCAT now, so worrying at this point is going to do diddly squat. Since no one is using the discussion of their experience to improve their study plan for the next sitting - at least for the moment - there's no real merit in freaking out. Take things in stride! What's done is done.

So bitter are we MIKE G. Instead of chewing out the AAMC, maybe u should go kick some pigeons again

Just a bit of harmless fun. If you don't want to play with the other kids, back off.

 

[Psycho Doctor]

aww thank you so much!! I feel so much better now. hugs are so comforting and wonderful. There is no such thing as a bad hug; there are only good hugs and great hugs.

Other hug rules: Hug someone at least once a day and twice on a rainy day. Hug with a smile; closed eyes are optional. A snuggle is a longish hug. Bedtime hugs help chase away bad dreams. Never hug tomorrow someone you could hug today.
You cannot give a hug - without getting one.

 

[Psycho Doctor]

yes everyone HUGS himmmm
what about me
and psycho i thought u were my pet psycho ..get bk in ur cage and wait for scores!

Hey Diesel, didn't i hug you yesterday??? Didn't that count for something or do you just disregard my hugs and throw them away like rubbish?????!!! That would really hurt me a lot you know...first an MCAT nightmare and then you throw away my hugs? 🙁

oh and if i'm stuck in that cage, does that mean you're going to do my apps for me???

 

[Elastase]

Psycho...you've gone off the deep end! hugs..wtf....go hug a carebear or some shie0ttttt...

😡 😡 😡 😡 😡

maybe after feeding the.... I WILL KICK SOME DAMN PIGEONS>>VERMIN OF THE CITYYY

 

[Psycho Doctor]

obviously you're not a very caring and compassion person or you would understand the hug phenomena

and yea perhaps i have gone off the deep end...i'm not name psycho for nothing!!! but seriously this is what the MCAT has done to me

ok i'm off to see my gf and get some real life hugs..does that make you happy?

and please be kind to the pigeons...the MCAT gods are watching you
