Kaplan sent me a message saying the scores have been released and to fill out their survey... screw you kaplan they're not out
Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy AAMC MCAT twitter tweeted that the scores would be released tomorrow. I have my phone set to give me a notification every time they tweet so I assumed it was an early release since they've never tweeted something like that. UGH.
Ugh right?? They never do that? Why do they have to mess with us =(they gave me a heart attack!!
Yeah man, that extra adrenalin rush was unnecessary
Tomorrow determines my fate for next summer....
Considering today is a Monday and it's been over 31 days since our exam, I wonder why they choose to release the scores tomorrow and not today.

They almost always release it on Tuesday
Ah okay, didn't know that. That's odd.
I wish I had found this forum sooner!
I am so nervous to get my score tomorrow. My best friend took it a week before me and scored way below his practice average. He had an average of 31 on the AAMC exams and ended up with a 26 on the actual MCAT! Praying something like this does not happen to me tomorrow..
I took all the AAMC exams timed and under test like conditions. I even took them in the library with other people around to simulate the actual test day as much as possible. These were my scores:
AAMC # 3 – 7/12/10
AAMC #4 – 8/11/10
AAMC # 5 – 8/14/13
AAMC # 7 – 8/12/12
AAMC # 8 – 10/13/12
AAMC # 9 – 10/11/10
AAMC # 10 – 10/13/11
AAMC # 11 – 10/11/11
Average is approx. 9/12/11 – I would be thrilled to hit my average, but I am feeling very worried and doubtful
I had to work so hard to get my PS scores up and I really don’t want to have to take this beast again!
Good luck to all!!

I feel sick waiting! Trying to overload my brain thinking about my 2 exams tomorrow so I don't freak over this news!
aghhhhhhh
aghhhhhhh
I have been very patient over the past month, but for some reason, today **** just got real
My heart rate is going up reading this thread, even though my scores don't come out until a week later. Maybe I should stay off SDN (ha, right?). But good luck to y'all tomorrow!
Dude, get a grip! It's gonna be alright! It's an important test, but it's still just a test and even if you don't get the score you want, it can't destroy your hopes and dreams unless you quit because of it. Besides all of that, a 30 or 31 is a competitive score at most medical schools. I don't know if your hopes and dreams include going to Harvard, Stanford, etc. but, if not, you're in luck because you can definitely get into a good school with a 30! Be proud of yourself for even getting to where you were in a good position to take the test. Pre-med is tough and a lot of people don't even make it this far. If you can get a 30 you will be fine! Even if you don't, it's a test you can retake!
Reality is that this is just the beginning. You can't let the MCAT stress you out this much because the things you will have to do from this point forward as a medical student, resident, and doctor are only going to demand more from you.
Best of luck to you all! I hope we all get the scores we want, but if we don't there is still opportunity and time for us to succeed.
I think the general release time is usually around 3:30PM. Also, nice avatar 🙂

That's at the absolute latest. Usually it seems closer to 3-4
Any time before 5 PM EST. From other threads, I have heard it can be released any time between 3PM or 5 PM.
And that's Eastern time, right? haha, that means 2-3 for me 😀
This is like Christmas eve when you're 8. So excited for tomorrow
Specifically, like that Christmas eve of the night before a gift-opening of a bunch of boring undies and flashlights, etc. So excited, and then so disappointed 😀

At least 40+. Between the two of us.
haha, I hope so too. I'll retake if it is anything less than a 32 or one of my sections was extremely low (7 or lower). What about you?
I like your 32 figure. 32 would be slightly cringe-worthy for me, but it's a bit too high to benefit greatly from retaking. Or so I hear.

you guys are lucky. i'm on the east coast, means I get to wait the whole god darn day.
It's okay, we can hold each other while we wait.
Hey guys, been lurking around for a few weeks but finally registered tonight. Also wrote Aug. 27th, so relieved we get our scores back tomorrow!

My AAMC average was 36 so I'm expecting 34-36, hopefully closer to the latter (I'm anticipating 12/11/13. or 13/10/13). Probably retake anything below a 32
Welcome to the club
Thankfully studying for my immunology midterm tomorrow is keeping me occupied. Its at 7PM... don't know if I should look at my scores before or after?
Yea I'm probably going to be doing that. We're just learning about some basic TCR and BCR formation in regards to gene rearrangements and how they generate their diverse specificities.
