Hey guys! I don't know if a thread has already been started for the 5/27 MCAT, though I'm pretty sure it hasn't. In any case, I'm popping my thread starting cherry with this one so hopefully I'm doing it right 🙂
I know it's still 5.5 months away, but it's never to early for anything med school related, right? 😀

Haha, loua, I did the same thing--just perused the forums of 5/22 and 4/10 to figure out release info. Seems like we'll get them either today at 2 or tomorrow at 2.

Can't stop checking THx every 15 minutes anyway....arggghhh. I have become a "typical pre-med," it seems 🙂

Haha seriously I feel like this exam has made me go INSANE.

Although I'm wayyy to scared to check THx. I'm waiting for one of you guys to post "They're up" before I look. :scared:

2) Do not make posts that falsely claim that MCAT scores are available.

The stress of waiting for scores is intense enough where posting false “scores are up” posts serves only to increase the unneeded and unwelcome anxiety of your peers. These types of posts fall under "trolling and intending to inflame".

**Users caught posting false information will be post-held for seven days.


Please understand that these rules are here not only to maintain the testability of the MCAT exam and the integrity of the admissions process as a whole, but also to protect you. The AAMC actively searches SDN for people who disclose information from their MCAT exams. If you are caught doing so, the AAMC reserves the right to void your MCAT score and revoke your eligibility to write future MCAT exams--meaning that you will never be able to attend a US Medical School. Consequently, please realize that we maintain an extremely strict policy for the good of everyone. Thank you for your attention, and if you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact a moderator.



Isn't this breaking this rule? Just saying...

We get to these as soon as they are reported. So report them.

Also, please don't quote them.

This may quite possibly be the nerdiest thing I've ever done, but based on my testing history of AAMC practice tests 4-10, I should get a 32.43 +/- 2.017 with 95% confidence. Puts my mind at ease a little bit, so let's see how my statistical analysis plays out.

By the way, that guy who posted the false score availability is a dick.

Haha, that was nerdy. I was going to say the same thing except more like a 20 +/- 10.056 Margin of error convention at 95%.

Everyone just relax. If you did your best you have nothing to worry about. This is my first post and I will say I thought the May 27 exam was difficult(especially BS) but I think there will be a decent curve. Life will not end if you don't get the score you want. My averages for the AAMC practice tests were all over the place 23(1st one) to 33. I have no idea where my score will be but I did my best. It will all be over soon.

If I take the test again on July 30th then I can just update my score to the schools or I should wait until the new score comes out in August and then apply? How much refund do we get if we cancel the test? Thanks for your help.

Just apply as soon as possible, you can update your scores later! You don't want to do your primary that late man!

I'm not going to follow my own advice, but I'm going to go play and not check it at all until 5pm.

I totally feel your pain. I've felt pretty good since test day, but now I'm second guessing myself. I guess at this point, only time will tell.

Will the scores be released by the end of Today, 6/28/2010? If it will be released tomorrow, will it happen by 3:00 pm EST? I am confused.

Another question: What is the lowest "medical school worthy" MCAT scores for a typical public MD school, assuming a non-URM? Is it 10-10-10?

I know the scores won't be up until tomorrow, but I can't help checking. does anyone else cover the screen with their hands when they check to see if the scores are up? lol I guess its a way to not be shocked, I just want to see if they're up not necessarily my score :laugh:

YES! I do the exact same thing!!! I can only take one section score at a time.

I do know of a person who found out the score on a Friday, and the scores were due by Tuesday. So, it can happen. But I would imagine that everyone would have access to it simultaneously. Hmm....

I would guess they are all released at the same time. I'm staying up until midnight though to see if they come out then. If they're not out then I'm going to bed..
