Is it a bad idea to consider registering later in the day or will all the seats already be taken in a couple of hours?

Why bother? There are a team of techs watching the system crashing around them. These are the same team of techs that told AAMC suit-and-tie types that they needed more hardware and should have a distributed system of folks logging in by time zone. They were listened to, ignored, and exactly what they predicted would happen is happening.

Hmmm... I may try later.

I realize that I don't know where the SDN doom-and-gloom originated about having to register within the first 20 minutes or you won't get a seat. There still seem to be seats available for January in my area...

certain areas will fill up fast as there are limited seats in testing centers and certain dates some pre-meds might want ... but I'm sure that everything will work out as long as people don't mind traveling within 90 miles or so ...

It's straight up dead now. I'll be surprised if even a handful of people even got to register.

Yeah, but if you don't get your first choice, take one a week later. Not sure I see the big problem.

But I take your point, gradu8in2003. Sucks if there is only one within driving distance of where you live...

And I was looking forward to going back to bed after I had registered, oh well. I hope this doesn't take hours because I have things to do today!

Same here, sort of. While there are a few testing centers within my radius (although not too many, considering I'm in upstate NY), I won't have a car, so I'm hoping to get a ride with someone else from my school who's taking it, so I don't want to be stuck with a test center no one else chose.

when she said that everything was working fine at 8:45, that was wrong...the website was super slow then and barely working...that is not "working fine" in my opinion

I suggest we all try to take a break for a little, its not going to do us any good as they have the servers blocked as there has admittedly been a problem. You're wasting your breath.

👍 Good time to learn some medschool/residency sleep (10-15 min increments when the beeper isn't going off)
