I'm going to try and hold off on checking until after my last final on Thursday afternoon. I hope I have the self-discipline to hold off hahaha

willpower... wow

so it's a definite posibility that roughly this time tomorrow we all may be very happy, very sad, or very anxious (b/c they don't release them)

aka this may be our last day of blissful ignorance ha

 

[Longshanks]

aka this may be our last day of blissful ignorance ha

It is.

Good luck everyone. I know we'll all be competing for limited spots in the application process, but good luck and hopefully we all killed it... and then maybe us 4/4'ers can own the applications process

In all seriousness, best of luck and everyone who put in the effort deserves a good score.

 

[LaCasta]

I have some busy work to do as in term papers, lab reports, but its only making the wait worse for some reason

 

[Karloff]

Best of luck my fellow 4/4 MCATers. I hope tommorow or Tuesday will be a nice end to a long and at times agonizing few months.
Seriously though.. I wish you all the best!!!

 

[dokholiday]

You know I always say you don't need an excuse to drink but its always nice to have one. I think cinco de mayo is gonna be cinco de drunko for almost all of us

 

[dee123]

cinco de drinko it is, for better or for worse haha

 

[amikhchi]

cinco de drinko it is, for better or for worse haha

[hoyamd]

[hpehlivan]

Well, today is my 22nd birthday. I got my last final in evolution/ecology in less than 2 hours, and hopefully MCAT scores are released. We'll see what kind of day this turns out to be, good luck everyone!

 

[JK09]

Is it possible that they might delay our scores? if yes how many days on average could that be?

[robrobbberts]

ITs 5/4/09 after noon and still no scores. WTF.

how early were the 3/28 scores released?

i was under the impression that they tend to be released after 5pm est.

 

[drdjd]

I think the scores for the 3/28 test date were released around 2:50pm est

 

[hoyamd]

I believe the scores for 3/28 were released around 3 pm EST.

 

[wcbcruzer]

I can't take the pressure!

 

[robrobbberts]

I believe the scores for 3/28 were released around 3 pm EST.

Wow. so possibly.. maybe.. less than an hour to go?!!

I'm actually a bit scared!

****.

If I were an adcom, I'd put more emphasis on your BS and VR score. I won't retake if you have a good GPA 3.5+.

 

[golfin87]

okkkkkkkkk here we go:

1st time (Sept 08)
VR:9
PS:8

26N

2nd time (April 09)
VR:9
PS:10
BS:10
29Q

My AAMC average was a 31, but I can't complain. I thought I did horrible. I nearly voided after finishing the PS section...I straight up guessed on like 6 at the end of the test. So people do not void if you are doing well on your practice tests!!

 

[medslacker]

last 4 practice test averages

physics - 12
verbal - 11
bio -11

REAL THING 35R!!

physics 13

I'M SO PUMPED, I WAS SURE I FAILED THAT TEST

 

[fatty19]

Congrats everyone on the great scores!!

 

[robrobbberts]

i guess i must have missed a section in the PS.. i know i wasnt sure when i finished it.. this is really bad.. i shouldnt have even taken the damn test.. i got some very bad news the day before..

 

[rocketbooster]

hmm, I would retake if I were you. I am sure you can do better! an 8 will hurt you. trust me. unless you think youd do worse in your BS and VR or something....otherwise, retake! you can improve your BS too!

Dude I know exactly how you feel, I got a 31Q, but I feel like a 32 or 33 would make me ten times happier. But really, everyone I've just talked to has said it's good, so I think we should just shut up and be happy lol.

Composite: 33O

very close to the average as you can see

I am so happy/relieved/blessed, I had so many people rooting for me and praying for me, I had a household jumping for joy

I felt terrible about the PS, but it turned out ok in the end. I know people kept saying you will get your average, but it's such a long wait filled with moments of self-doubt, it is hard to stay positive at all times. If anyone else is waiting on their scores at this moment, just have confidence in your abilities.

Congratulations to everyone else on this forum who did well, some of you got amazing scores. I feel like we are soldiers that went off to war and were able to make it back in one piece. To my companions who got below their averages and are going to retake, you will do even better than your average next time. I would be happy to help anyone on here in anyway I can.

P.S.

Is an O bad for writing sample? lol

 

[dee123]

omg i just died when i saw that score box! i didn't even know where to look for my numbers haha

average AAMC ~ 35 (12, 10,13)

actual - 35Q (11, 10, 14)

they're right - you really WILL get in your practice range.

 

[JaggerPlate]

Well, I don't know what to say. My BS and VR were right where I wanted them to be, but my PS was as low as my Kaplan Diagnostic and far, FAR lower than any other practice test I had ever taken. I really don't even know what to do. I am out of practice tests (AAMC and Kaplan). Honestly, I need advice from anybody, please. I don't know if I should get more materials, how I will take full length practices, or anything. I seriously don't know if I should bother any more. Any advice please?? PM me or post it here or tell me where I can ask for advice or whatever.

 

[vegousc]

Hi, My nightware was confirmed:

Real MCAT: V:7, P:13, B11, 31R

Practice AAMC: V:9, P:14, B13, 36

I was leaning towards DO schools originally but would the verbal score of 7 kill my chances at DO schools as well? Should I retake the MCAT? I have a 4.0 UGPA and two Masters' of science, six years of research and teaching, normal shadow and clinical experience, please advise as I am desperate.

Don't give up bro. I went from a 23O (August, 2008) to a 30N (April, 2009), so its doable. To improve in PS, you should do problems from your physics and chemistry text book because the MCAT PS does not test anything beyond that. This advice is from someone who got a 12 in PS two times. Believe in yourself. I know you can do it!

I did not get into med school (MD) with a 7 in VR, 3.8 GPA and 2 years of research experience. The choice is ultimaltely yours.
