So, 29P is the magic score. I was not thrilled, but it could have been way worse. I'm polling you, the SDN'ers, what do you think. Retake? I'm currently enjoying my first summer break in 4 years and the prospect of cramming gen chem and physics all summer is sickening. Congrats to everyone, at least the waiting's done!

Remember...the point is to get into medical school and become a physician, not do well on the MCAT. In the grand scheme of things, the MCAT doesn't matter. I'd run with the 29, apply to medical school, and see what happens. If you don't get in this year, regroup, study harder for the MCAT, take it again, wait 30 days next year (hooray! less time to wait!), then apply again.

your distribution is great

I like your PI

thanks ironman!

i like your nittany lion 🙂

I am applying with a 29P.....I think I will be ok, what does the rest of you app look like?

 

[PBandJ]

so much for the non-mcat thread! 😛

 

[mshheaddoc]

Yeah seriously.


I don't wanna go to work 🙁 And I still haven't gotten my financial AID for summer yet. I'm BROKE! About $100 to my name 🙁 Well in liquid assets 😛

 

[R.P. McMurphy]

off to fail a test......thank you THx 😡

 

[PBandJ]

Yeah seriously.

i feel you there! i'm not too high up in the funds...i have enough to charge my AMCAS and still pay the rent, but i may be skimping for a while, especially when interview time comes around!

 

[lilithny]

doing a little better than last night, i guess 🙂

I'm realizing that it's better to have my 28 (10-8-10) than to have a 32 with some weird distribution (e.g. 13-6-13).

Argh, I'm not the kind of person to get down on myself. Trying to keep the spirits up! Tonight I'm going to dinner at my old PI's house, so that should be fun! He'll ramble on for half an hour or so about how stupid the MCAT is and how he thinks that it doesn't test your ability to succeed in med school and/or become a good doctor.

see now... i don't think that's rambling. steelers fans make excellent doctors. it's a well known fact 😀

love method candles from target. especially pink grapefruit. they get me in the mood...... to sleep.

Just because they pass the test, doesn't mean they're real doctors. - Albany bumblefcuk

haha, so true! 😀

i love cream cheese icing. but if i had to choose a cake, it would definitely be dairy queen ice cream cake. soooooo good with the little crunchies in-between the perfect 2:1 balance of vanilla to chocolate

 

[mshheaddoc]

I love carvel ice cream cakes 😍

OMG, Nikki's in the news.

OMG, Nikki's in the news.

LMAO

 

[PBandJ]

I am actually. I don't even have a good reason. Well, I guess I have ACLS. I usually drink a little wine in the evening but tonight I threw in some vodka and that's hit me a bit harder. 🙄

beary, how is the ACLS going??

 

[oxeye]

Okay, I'm officially sick of the MCAT. I've been obsessing about it since September. And the last two months were horrible. It's completely done and I don't even want to think about it anymore. Anyone with me?

I've scared to leave this thread and see what people are talking about in the rest of the MCAT forum.

I submitted my app last night. And then I realized in just over three months I'll have an answer - yes or maybe later - with EDP. YIKES!

This is what you have been waiting for! Good news will grace your mailbox in 3 months. Have fun...don't think...for 3 months or so. 😀

I'm totally with you there...I'm sick of obsessing over it and I would love to just forget about it! I'm not really in a position to do that, but at least the horrible waiting is over!

Congrats on submitting your app! I definitely think you will have great news in a few months!! 😀

You're not going to retake are you? If not, just forget about the MCAT! I think your research background is going to be way more important. You're a published first author for goodness sakes!

Seriously, don't even think about the MCAT anymore if you aren't going to retake it in August (and I wouldn't if I were you). It's just one piece of the puzzle.

do your kids know that mommy is going to be a doctor?

 

[mshheaddoc]

Dude, I can't take anymore of this. Some people just **** up their lives no matter what. They don't care about who is involved and how it effects other people. Even if they are completely miserable at times. I think I'm going to be sick.

 

[PBandJ]

thanks guys. I'm not planning on retaking in August, but if I don't get in anywhere this cycle and it's because of my MCAT score, then I will retake once it's in CBT format next year. I'm hoping to avoid that, but I'm not going to let a few points on one silly test determine whether or not I should be a doctor.

what happened?

 

[oxeye]

do your kids know that mommy is going to be a doctor?

If I told my almost 3 year old that I think she would run away screaming from me. Her only experience with doctors is that they do things to her that hurt!

I did tell the baby last night as I was waiting for scores that this was going to be a very important day. She gave me a great big grin but she also gives me a great big grin when I tell her "You have a poopy butt!" 😀

What's going on Mushy? 🙁

 

[gujuDoc]

S&M,

28 will be fine. It might not get you into HMS or into an MSTP program, but it will get you into A MD/PhD program somewhere. And who knows, maybe by the grace of god you will get into a good program too. Don't lose hope and think the MCAT score you got to be the end of the world. Lots of people I know got accepted into schools with that score.

GOOD LUCK. Be proud that you went up and are now at least in the acceptable range. If things don't work out this year then retake it but don't put yourself through hell unecessarily.

 

[Nikki2002]

Don't let it get you down! You have some bad-a$$ stuff going for you.

your score breakdown is awesome--10s in the sciences--way to go!! and an 8 is an excellent verbal score--a lot of people really struggle in that area

 

[oxeye]

That's awesome. 👍 I bet you will get in this cycle, though. I'm rooting for you!

Just put the stupid test behind you. 😀 It's really awesome that you improved so much. Statistically, retakers score lower the second time. You totally beat the odds!

definitely--S&M going from a 25 to a 28 is huge--it will make a big difference

oxeye, you're making my biological clock tick... your 3-year-old may think it's awful now, but in a few years she'll be bragging about you to all the other kids 🙂

 

[R.P. McMurphy]

is anyone going on vacation this summer?

if so, where?

 

[oxeye]

oxeye, you're making my biological clock tick... your 3-year-old may think it's awful now, but in a few years she'll be bragging about you to all the other kids 🙂

LOL, I hope she will be proud of me. I hope they both will growing up because it's going to mean a lot of time away from them. So I really hope they understand.

And I didn't get to congratulate you personally - so CONGRATS!

 

[Nikki2002]

yeah a 14/14/14 how perfect is that??? incredible
