I think it will be a few days less then 59 because they generally have come out before October 15th for the August MCAT score release due to Oct 15th deadlines at some schools.

August 04, it came out on the 12th of October and the test was originally supposed to be held on the 14th of Aug. In August 05, the test was on the 20th of August and the score was released on either the 13th or 14th of October. I think it was the 13th.

Do you know if the CBT comes out after a month instead? Maybe I should've take the CBT this time if that was the case. However, I think it's pretty cool to take the last paper MCAT. 🙂

They told me 60 days. Even if they were done sooner, they couldn't release CBT scores earlier than paper test scores because they would be flooded with calls and emails from paper test takers.

No they won't release the CBT before the paper scores. It will be a month's wait when the next MCAT administration occurs but not this time.

Oh and it will be less then 60 days for sure based on the last few years. As I said the week before Oct 15th. We'll get our scores by then. I'm sure of that.

so I had my first post-MCAT dream today during a mid-day nap which didn't involve me looking at my scores though...

I found out there was a super-secret MCAT training society ala Skull and Bones at my old undergrad headed by a super-evil version ofwhat I think was my old Orgo prof...and he's turning all these kids in to super MCAT machines or something... for some reason I tried to infiltrate it and take it down... I wake up when my attempt to access their files gets thwarted by the lazyboy chair I was sitting on collapsing on me in some weird mechanical trap and proceeding to crush me to death...

I think the MCAT took all the creativity out of me and decided to put it all in my dreams 😕 anyways back to finals studying

I have a tough time picking my favorite. It's really almost a tie between The Royal Tenenbaums and The Big Lebowski.

Nope! Not even thinking much about my scores. I'm more worried about damn AMCAS apps! 😡 I haven't even submitted it yet.

What I don't understand is Ohio St. being number one in both major polls... and Notre Dame being 2 and 3....

I highly recommend seeing Little Miss Sunshine. Very funny movie (in the life sucks, get a helmet vein - aka perfect for the postMCAT wait). I saw it Saturday night and couldn't stop laughing at several points! It's one of the two or three movies I've been to where people actually clapped at the end.

Since we haven't gotten AMCAS sent out yet, I think you still have plently of time for LOR. It should take 5-6 weeks to get your AMCAS verified. I got all my LOR done back in April/May when I was still living at UF since I didn't want to drive up to do it from Orlando. 2 of the 4 got it done within a week. 1 was done after 3 weeks. Last guy (a good friend of mine), turned it in about 1.5 months later, but I told him that was okay since I knew he'd be traveling out of the country. I'm not sure how busy your professors/supervisors/etc people are this semester so it might depend.

LOR's are the huge pain in the booty after secondaries. Usually that what holds everyone up cause we have very little control over them. In retrospect, I wish I had done mine sooner and even used interfolio to get some more control.

Yeah that happened to me but I don't know if it was from stress or from eating eggs which causes me to break out as well.

I probably should've used interfolio, but I ended up using a service at UF. Now people are telling me it takes UF too long to process and they only accept payment in person. Since I don't live there anymore, I'm pissed. There's no way I'm driving up there for something the internet has solved over a decade ago.

heh... I'm using the letter service at my old undergrad and I feel a little bit weird about handing out requests to profs at the school I'm doing my post-bacc stuff... hopefully they won't think I'm a stuck up pretentious bastard like the rest of the alumni at my school

:laugh: I can't believe you just called those "time pieces." I thought it's usually reserved for say a Patek Philippe and the like.

So how many days do we have left. We took the test on Saturday and today is Tuesday so I guess 4 days have passed right??

That makes it about 56 days left but probably less.

So I had an MCAT nightmare last night in which I dreamed that my scantrons didn't get turned in and it was too late to turn it in and so I'd have to take it over again. It was freaky. But thankfully only a dream.

Last year I dreamed I got a low low low score and turned out being a lot higher then my dream. I hate this wait.

October can't come fast enough.

The night after the test I had a dream that I got a 29 9/9/11. I was pretty happy about it but then I woke up and realized "Damn, I've still got 59 days to go!" Cheers to all you guys waiting for scores.

I've posted this several times before, but long time ago........when I first took the MCAT I had a dream that a friend got a 33M on her MCAT. But it was induced by the fact that her best friend got a 31 S.

This dream I had last night was induced by the fact that I was thinking about the test a couple of days ago.
