4 weeks and counting!! I feel like it'll fly by pretty fast, since May is coming to a close soon. So how are you guys going to occupy your summer, just curious.

Is everyone on here going to check scores the second they come out... I thought I would but im getting a bit nervous and dont want to check as i once wanted to so long ago... :scared:

i have friends that do that... the exam score for a nasty exam is ready to be picked up and they put it off for a week. wth? whats the point of waiting to find out, to prep yourself psychologically?

everyone should be excited! not nervous! 🙂

exactly. Either i get something acceptable and move on with my life or i take it over in august. Nothing will really change tonight/tomorrow.
 
Dang...it's tonight!
Can't wait now actually hahah

I think either way I'm gonna end up jumping out my window!
 
is it weird that one of the first things i do after waking up (no work today) is checking this thread??? this is a level of commitment few other subjects have received from me...... about to blow up with anxiety
 
i am gonna cover my monitor so i can view the score for each section one at a time. i took the 2002 august mcat so i know how the scores show up online. i thnk seeing all three scores at once is sensory overload. i would crap my pants. i think i will start with writing sample, then bio, then PS, then verbal. there was a thread up a while back where some one did a screenshot of the aamc score page so u can be prepared to see just how the page will look when scores come out. i am too lazy to search for it, but if u need that kind of mental preperation, u should seek it out. ok good luck and see u all here starting at 10PM tonight.. at least thats when i am gonna start my vigil.. yeah right.. i'll be here all day.

does anyone know where that screenshot is??? i'd love to see it. post it!! post it!!!

:barf:
 
I'm not sure which is worse. Watching your friends getting taken to the sluaghter house, or waiting for the truck to come back for you or perhaps it broke down. Now I just don't want the MCAt to chop my HEAD OFF ! AHHH no roast pig!

Yeah us meat products gotta stick together!
 
hey i have a question: do they announce when the scores are posted on the MAIN mcat page? or do you have to log in to THx to see the announcement? i want to know so i can have my paper ready to cover the screen. . .
 
You'll most likely hear it here as soon as they are posted ahaha...this forum will most likely explode. I'm still not sure whether I should do the paper or all at once ;0

do the paper! do the paper!!

i want to see one score at a time, so i can get used to the idea of each before processing the next.
 
i saw your screen name nad had to say hi - cool to see a fellow wahoo. i was clas'00 and med'04. i start residency in two weeks and i finally finished my online MCAT study guide (mcatpearls.com). enjoy your summer off before med school. but don't worry, med school is a blast and you'll meet some REALLY cool people and make lifelong friends. take care, alfa

Yeah no s**t. I woke up and logged on to sdn immediately and straight to the countdown thread. Guys, lets cherish this, good or not. You guys are like family to me and I truly and honestly wish you all goodluck. Lets enjoy this together. I would most likely be on this thread tonight. Those AAMC f**kers had better post them at 12.00am tonight.

I'm pretty old for pork.

OINK! 12 hour countdown or less? or more?
we should have a poll to exactly when it'll come out! it'll be like the vegas line.

I've been checking this thread for awhile, but never really had anything to contribute. But I figured I should post something before these scores come out!

Good Luck Everyone :luck:

This thread pretty much encapsulates my emotions perfectly. DAY OF RECKONING.

Seriously, I had forgotten all about the MCAT until roughly a week ago. Each day has been excruciatingly long since!

Ahh there you are...you've been away for a while haven't ya
 
What timezone is MCAT time zone? If it's east coast then the midnight there would be 9pm here in California. Aieee!!!!
 
Hopefully less than 12 hours left!!!!

It is funny because for a while I wasn't even thinking about MCAT scores but as soon as I heard what day scores were coming out that seems to be all that I can think about! I was nervous this morning when I woke up...it is nice to know there are other people out there feeling the same way about waiting for scores to appear on a website 🙂

I just wanted to wish you all good luck! :luck: :luck: :luck:
 
I drove home from my in-laws, about a 2.5 hour drive, and then when I got home I had this hope in the back of my head that maybe the scores would have been released, or, more realistically, that THx would at least say what time they would come out! But when I got to my computer I didn't have the guts to go straight to THx so I came here 😛.

I'm thinking of doing the paper trick. I'd like to see my combined score before seeing all the subscores. I'm just not sure if that will work. Maybe I'll just force myself to look at them in that order, rather than using the paper. Or maybe I'll figure out how to do the paper.

Anybody else really hopefully but also have a sinking feeling, almost complete certainty, that you're going to be very disappointed? Part of me is thinking "hey, you probably did as well as your practices, you might have done great!" while another part is in there saying, "you bombed this thing, prepare for the worst, this is gonna be bad!!!"

Yeah...same here. It's like my conscience has gone schizo and is implanting unsettling but convincing arguments in my head. And I take back all the posts that I made complaining about how long we have to wait...I'd rather wait.

T-minus 9hours and 20 min 'till impending doom/euphoria :scared: .
 
Is it just me... I felt pretty good after the exam and the weeeks later that i did alright.. but all of a sudeen i feel like **** and that i bombed this and im gonna do horrible... hopefully its just the nerves rather than some psychic power trying to help embrace me for what will come later... 😱
 
I think you both summed up my feelings exactly! I remember feeling like the exam went well when I was done with it but now I am totally like "what if I really screwed things up?" I couldn't even remember what I got on my last practice exam before the real thing so I went and looked that up. If I could get that score on the real thing I would be a happy person!

I think when the scores are actually up and I hit send I'll just have to close my eyes and say no whammies, no whammies, no whammies! Then open my eyes and look at the whole page at once.
 
Wow so today morning I had the biggest sinus headache. I don't if it is my nerves or what, but I think I'm actually getting sick. My stomach was in knots a few days ago. Right now, my head has a pounding headache, etc.

I wish the scores would pop up right now.

I just want it to be over.
 
All this agonizing, waiting, nervous energy, finally its almost over! I know when I log in its gonna feel like im jumping out of an airplane. Im just gonna have to hold my breath...close my eyes...and say here goes. :luck: :luck: :luck: :luck: :luck: :luck: :luck: :luck:
 
i've been at work all week 9-5 every day and i haven't done a THING. i'd better get a good score, because i'm on my way to getting FIRED.

I definitely have to do that now.

Going back to the practice test, the last test I took was 8 through this prep thing at school, and guess what... the bums had the wrong answer sheet so I don't even know how I did on my last test 😡

This sounds similar to the forum days before the MCAT.


Don't you know there are 4 times a year when this forum is flooded with nerve wrecking neuroses as the diagnosis?????

A. Right before and after April MCAT is taken
Before: Nerves going into test
After: Let the discussion begin on who had the hardest form
B. Right before and after scores come out for April MCAT
Before: Speculation and nerve wrecking neuroses over what are score are.
After: To post in the after party glory and euphoria or suggestions if you
need to retake it.
C and D same as A and B. Only substitute August MCAT where it says April MCAT.

I know the feeling. Right after you take the test, you are all nerve wrecked with euphoria of ITS OVER!!!!! All the anticipation leading up to taking the test, and you can finally go home and put your books on the shelf for a while until scores come out and you know whether you passed it or not.

When it gets back to scores coming out, 2 months later, the nerve wrecking nature of right before the test returns. Then scores come out and its euphoria for the good scores or what to do to improve the scores.
 
Bud Light? Coors Light? Miller Light? Natural Light? Busch Light? Michelob Light? Keystone Light? Millwaukee's Best Light? Miller Genuine Light? Budweiser? Bud Ice? Amber Rock? Bacardi? Corona?

ANYONE ???????????? :laugh: :laugh:
 
i'm supposed to go out with some friends tonight, but i don't know if i can drag myself away from this ****ing computer!!

what do you think? should i stay here and compulsively check amcas or go out?? if i go out i won't be back until 12 or 1 AM, and by that time the scores might have been out for a couple of hours!!!

:scared:
