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.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i forgot to pick up bread at the grocery store!!!
now what's this about mcat scores?
 
Psssshhhh- just keep yourself busy till then with small things. Time will fly.

Savor the moment- its (hopefully) a once in a lifetime experience!
 
lol, believe me once you get into medicine you'll forget all about the MCAT whether you loved it or hated it. so yes it may be a once in a lifetime experience, but a footnote at that (Well unless I guess you're writting it for the 6th time then getting a good score would be awesome)

Good luck to all waiting! Relax you can't change anything now anyways!

Correct me if i'm wrong. I took the Aug 04 MCAT and I remember days before the scores were released, we did see a message on Thx telling us when the scores will come out. I think you guys are getting worried too early.

btw..rumors have it, the april 05 MCAT had one of the most generous curves in years. so relax, you probably did better than you expected.

where did you hear that rumor from????

yea, SERIOUSLY....or did you just assess it from hearing that many thought the test was very hard?? 😕

how are you guys keeping busy? i'm exploring cambridge today, then starting work tomorrow. anyone from the boston area and would like to meet up?!! PM me if so... 👍

Please don't toy with the fragile minds of MCAT test takers. If you do have a source for your statement please enlighten us all, but when it comes to any news about recent MCAT test and curves this thread could turn nasty :laugh:

while i appreciate the suggestion to relax, please don't make baseless statements. there is no way anyone could have information about what kind of curve is applied to these raw scores. you're just inflating the hopes of already paranoid people. congratulations, buddy.

It would have... if there were not all those replies doubting his statement. Can't we just live a lie for a few days??

Well, there are various ways for him to have that information. He might know someone that is incharge of scoring it. I doubt he would reveal his sources on here anyway. Im not saying that he is telling the truth, its not impossible only a bit improbable.
 
ahhhhh finally the forum is not crashing and i can post once more!!!

what a fabulous time to leave a friendly reminder...

damn...chill out buddy 🙄

I heard it from D., the owner of TBR. D. is friends with a high ranking MCAT official and if you know D. personally, you know he wouldn't make up bs's. 👍

What's TBR?

Also, thanks for the inside info. People here are so crazy defensive and paranoid, sometimes. But it is our nature, I suppose. Personally I like to collect every tid-bit of info, even those that are "suspect", and give it some fair consideration before discarding it or otherwise ignoring it.

The berkley review. One of the big 4 MCAT review company's that are reliable. They are based in Cali and only really available to Cali residents.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh. Sorry, had to vent.

I just wish they would throw us the little bone of the message "Your scores will be available on June XX" on THx. Or something. Anything, really.

My summer class starts June 13th and I just know I'm going to be totally unfocused until I get the scores. And then I will finally know for certain whether I'm a serious candidate this cycle or if I've got to regroup and dig in for August (oh, I can hardly even contemplate the prospect).

One thing's for certain -- I'll be haunting this thread until the moment is here!

The message should start changing as next week approaches.
 
Man, I keep forgetting I even took the April MCAT. Every so often I'm like "oh, I have somethi--scores are coming aren't they?" Then I realize we still have another week and I go back to being thanksgiving dinner.

edit: btw crazy_cavalier is that Alphonse Elric from FMA on your avatar? 😀
 
I'm starting to get really antsy about scores now. Time flew buy the last 7 weeks. Somehow, this last one feels like its going to drag on forever.

If anyone does find out the exact date through THx or elsewhere, do inform the rest of us on the thread.
 
yea, ok, so sdn shutting down had me really freaked

i wondered if there was a conspiracy -- that everyone was still on sdn posting and i was the only idiot unable to get on

btw, in case anyone cares, my personal statement stinks!! 🙁

i've got a few more days to make it better...if not...tough s___t

Yes! I can once again access the Countdown!!!

I am starting to think we should have an alternate place to gather when scores come out if SDN is down... 🙁

How about chaeymaey's blog?

OMG GIVE ME MY SCORES SO I CAN GET ON WITH MY LIFE!!!!!
 
So, when exactly are we supposed to get our scores? I've heard from the 10th to the 15th.

I also remember people speaking of a teasing game played by the MCAT people, but when I check the Thx site, there is no communication or evident way to find info on when the scores will be posted?( ok I just read back a few posts and found that this will change soon?)

Every eye lash gets spent wisely now days. I takes me little time to think of what to wish for...

Nage

P.S. "generous curve" eh? I hope so. Remember we are all going to have to comply with our initial bets made on the Vegas Line thread.

From the web site:

When will I receive my scores from the MCAT?

AAMC and the MCAT Program Office will use all available and reasonable means to mail scores by first-class mail to examinees approximately 60 days after each test date. Scores will be available in the Online Testing History system at that time.
 
IM FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEAKING out here. And plus I'm at work and now I'm doing nothing but check SDN threads. This is torture...
 
I had an awful dream last night where i checked my scores online and i got a 14 on the verbal but a 2 on both PS and BS.
 
That's horrible.

Speaking of dreams, I had one where I checked my score and I saw two lines, one said 20 and the other said 12. Two lines gota mean I took the MCATs twice but April was my first so I'm sitting there in my dream wondering whether my score was a 20 or 32.....
 
Yeah, I had yet another MCAT dream- this time the score was kidna flickereing between a 34 and a 24 on the dreamt-up thx screen. I only remember being scared. Stupid dreams
 
Haha! I had a dream the other night that I took the MCAT 3 times... IN ONE SITTING! and i got all three scores back at the same time and they were like 19, 20, 21. Thats just insane!!!!
 
How hard is for somebody on the MCAT I.T. staff to post a note telling us when we should anticipate our scores back? What the f**k is the point in telling us 1 or 2 days before? This whole process is starting to piss me the f**k off.
 
you know, i have to agree with you. it's freaking lame telling us the night before we think we're getting them, that we're getting them. but you know i have come to despice all aamc things. they should be in a thesaurus for lame, useless, lack, devoid, oblivious, negligent, selfish, malicious, supercillious, callous, indifferent, cold, cruel, condescending, inappropriate, hatred, ugly, grotesque, malformed, contorted, distorted, rustic, mire, disgusting...ok, i think you get the point.
 
Ick, last night i dreamt that my friend and i received our scores in the same envelope, and we were fighting over to get our scores first. When i looked at my score sheet, it said, "congratulations, you have done really well on organic chemistry," and so i was really excited. Then when i turned the page over, it said that i had a D+ on the other sections. So when i looked at my composite score, it was a 29. But when i looked again, it was a 28, then a 26, and then a damn 19. 🙁 🙁
 
I had a dream last night that I got a 28, which isn't that bad. I was so excited not to have gotten in the teens, because I took it in August without much preparation and was afraid I'd done worse this time around. I"ve been dreading the thought of not raising but actually lowering my score, proving to the adcoms that I'm not worthy of an acceptance! 😱 I guess I'll see next week.
 
You all, we need to take a break from this for 5 days. You all are going to drive yourself crazy. Just check once a day whether AAMC has an indication of the day its coming out and let it be done with. Don't drive yourself over the edge with it. Last time I did that and it was worthless. What you get is what you've gotten. Its over with. Before I understood your side. But now I'm beginning to see where that one poster from earlier was coming from when they said to stop worrying about it. You are just going to increase your blood pressure more and be more stressed out. Read a book. Go out with friends. If you have classes do your homework or studying. Go worry about other things and time will fly faster.

Its most likely going to be out on the 14th or 15th, because last August it came out 59 days after the test, which would be the 14th. Just keep that in mind. you'll know when it is out. They'll have something on AAMC stating it.

Now I'm going to go because this thread is just getting to be crazy.
 
Welcome back everyone!!! the server thing sure was strange. I think there was something the matter with the database, or perhaps another crash of that nature.

At any rate, let us not forget that there are only...

5 more days!

(very roughly of course, just a prediction, with no official word whatsoever and no authority to make such a claim)


Boy, so since that last time when I shouted out "10 days", it's been about half the time. That felt like ages ago. This is the slowest week that has ever been recorded in human history.

Well-p... ta ta for now happy da 🙂

Take heed, people! The man spoke the truth! Look what has been done to me... now I am the crazy cavalier. Before I was just the cavalier. That was back when I had a soul. 😉

Ya to pass the time and not think about it I've been reading some great books ("House of God" by S. Shem, and "Gifted Hands" by B. Carlson) and also I recently got my hands on a gem of a video game (Zelda: the Minish Cap).

So have fun! relax! check aamc for some sign, but do not fear. Exactly, the test is done, your score has already been figured out... like anxious parents we wait for the new-born babies to be delivered, but what's a few more days after all this time we've put in stock? No worries, really. 🙂
 
ummm, for me, its a race against the clock to finish my PS before mcat scores come out, so i can send my app ASAP! aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!

ME TOO!!!! i'm in absolutely the same boat -- this is shocking :laugh: :scared:

i think mine sucks, and i've got about 5 days to make it a LOT better!!!

good luck w/ yours!
 
Simply the fact that so many people have had dreams in the past 3 days says a lot about how we will never forget this small chapter in our lives.

I see my score as constantly changing,
