I think AAMC should compensate all our employers for a complete lack of anything resembling work today.

Yeah but I would still probably be obsessing over my score...I figure today is pretty much shot one way or the other

I don't know if the anxiety of waiting for the scores is worse or better than the actual test. Hmmmmmm..... those responsible for this delay have some massive bad karma coming their way.

Dear MCAT Database,
Pity our suffering,
Monomaniacal
Sleep-deprived heads.
 
This day blows... I wonder how many people have died of medical related stress complications while waiting for their Medical College Admissions Test scores. I actually completely forgot I would feel this way. WHERE ARE THEY!

I'm not lying! But I took it 5/1 so maybe they posted ours before the 5/2. sorry for any confusion. and I'm a she.

I guess this is good stress training for medical school and residency. I'm sure we'll all feel the same way again for boards (all 4 of them).

9 Physics (thought i bombed this)

All-in-all I thought it went about how I expected. PS kind of hurt while taking it but in the end the cut wasn't so deep and I knew I destroyed the BS section and VR is always a toss up. Writing? Who cares?

Anyways I am off to medschool in the fall at Alabama so good luck to you guys!

Angry words. I haven't done this bad since my first practice test.

Hope that Bio drop doesn't hurt me too bad, I just got caught up in a few of the orgo lab questions...freaked me out. Anyway, I retook because I was physically sick during the test (i.e. food poisoning) and even getting back my first score just decided to retake because I already paid the $$$$. Just glad my physics score went up. Moral of the story, it's not always necessary to retake.

cGPA 3.6 from a UC. I have three years of both clinical and research, and one publication, another just submitted. I'll have good LOR from my non-science prof, research prof, and a doctor. Should I retake or should I go ahead and apply? 29 was my worst fear. The earliest I can submit my app is mid-June. Thanks.
