MCAT customer service: "NO specific time for online score release"

[Yogi Bear]

---

Members don't see this ad.

Just called office this morning and the customer service guy says there's no specific time for the score release.

 

[relatively prime]

But did they say it would be some time today!?!?

 

[Sweet Tea]

what's the number for customer service???

 

[relatively prime]

(319) 337-1357

 

[Yogi Bear]

They just gave generic message of "on or around june 7". # is the one on the blue letter, 319-337-1357. it's a long distance call for many of us but i have a cell phone so i don't mind calling both yesterday and today..hehe

 

[Legend]

If they are going to postpone score release until monday, it better be free or not more than $10.

 

[Mutterkuchen]

Does anyone know if the scores are being mailed today? Or are they going to wait a week or two, so that you will pay the $15? I live close to Iowa City, so the mail should be here on Monday. I don't think that I can wait a week or two though.

Makes sense, if we're to get them around the twentieth, even though they said online reports would be posted the same day hardcopy reports were mailed. Who knows. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="frown.gif" />

Yea..I would always be worried about something online b/c what if they say you did super well online like 12,14,13 but thenyou got the report and it was actually less than 10's in every section

That would suck wouldn't it?

SOrry guys..just had to make you worry more

i think the aamc is a big, bureaucratic organization that is comfortable with their own ineptitude. we will be hanging here like this for some time. aamc will consider it a flying success if they even get the scores up and accessible at all. worthless bastards

 

[Yogi Bear]

i called again this afternoon. a lady said that they're mailing it out next week. they also hope to post scores "by the end of the day". funny that she doesn't know what "by the end of the day" meant. could be now, 5pm closing time, 11:59:9999999999999999999999999999 this evening.. argghhh....

 

[PersephoneInSneakers]

I just called, too. The poor guy sounded exhausted...he said he had no idea, maybe the end of the day, I asked, "end of the work day, or midnight?" He said that he had no idea.

&lt;sigh&gt; Oh well.

I wonder, if they're bombarded with phone calls and such, whether they'll choose to *not* even bother with this service anymore, figure, screw it, let 'em wait for the mail. &lt;sigh&gt; Aye de mi.

My obsessive compulsive friend who keeps calling them said that the scores should be up by the end of their work day, which means 4:30 Central ST. He also told her the server is strong enough to take alot of hits!

 

[missbonnie]

is central 1 hr behind EST? I'm in NYC

 

[Angeliqua]

yes, they are one hour behind. countdown to 5:30(EST)...

 

[Toejam]

I'm wondering why in the Hell they're answering the phone, anyway! You have to think that they were expecting a ton of applicants calling!! That's ineptitude!!

My guess is that they'll have partial results up by 6 PM their time.

Just a wild piece of conjecture.

I called Iowa again! The bastard said that it is very likely that the scores will be up on Monday. I really want to bomb them, no wonder why AAMC made sure the MCAT office was in the middle of NOWHERE, AMERICA!!! God.

God.•••••i just called a minute ago and one dude says that they hope to get it up by the time office closes at 4:30. according to the guy, "the web people and us aren't close, so i don't know anything about exactly when it'd be available"...talk about lack of communication...

 

[CoffeeCat]

Let me get this straight...did you guys PAY extra money to maybe have your scores Monday?!?

 

[ChymeChancellor]

Q (and others): did you notice that this was from 2002?

 

[MasterMD]

[QofQuimica]

Yeah, you're right. Ok, I'll just close it instead. These guys have already graduated from med school by now.

ChymeChancellor, no more dragging out these ancient threads, ok?
