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.

🙂

 

[junebuguf]

...At least you'll be busy til MCAT scores come out, so you won't fret and worry because of too much time on your hands.

I almost wish I still had classes. Its amazing how fast the three weeks after the MCAT went. I find myself on SDN a lot nowadays trolling around in pre-allo instead of finishing my PS, and reading MCAT threads and getting more anxious about my scores....time is starting to s........l..............o....................w
d......o..............w...............................n. Its so bad I'm approaching 500 posts!! Its like a race to see which happens first--MCAT score release or 500 posts.

hahahahaha. I know how you feel. Even though I have some summer classes, this last 15 days or so is not coming quick enough for me. We are all just praying for the best. Just think of your PS as a motivator to forget about scores til they come out.

By the way at your comments about reaching 500 posts before MCAT scores come out.

 

[monu1234]

oh man, i'm going nuts... the pressure is building, it feels like a slow burn. I can't even distract myself properly, the MCAT stress builds... oh yeah, my job bites too

 

[crazy_cavalier]

GGGGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH

 

[cadaverage]

I dont know if I want two weeks to come yet, but getting nervous nonetheless.

 

[bebella24]

Everytime i think of those damn scores, my stomach feels like it's defying gravity and sailing somewhere up near my brain. Ick

i can relate

 

[gujuDoc]

...actually if scores come out around June 14-16, its more like 2 1/2 weeks. I just hate getting excited about a specific date and then finding out its still a few days away. My dos pesos...or rupees, if you're so inclined.


Anyway, what are you guys gonna do once you find out? Travel, get drunk, call up ex gf's and gloat, burn your MCAT books....

....I guess the one thing we'll all be doing is posting on SDN! I just hope the lame SDN servers don't crash like they're so prone to.

Now now, no reason to mess with your ex girlfriend like that.

Yah 2 weeks to 2.5 weeks. You are right. None the less, its coming soon. That's the point. I'm getting nervous.

 

[wetlightning]

I'm getting nervous.

This SUCKS 😡 😱

 

[Mixtli]

I have dreams of happiness and anger, but I never want to dream of taking it again.

You want to hear something funny?? I've heard of some stories of people getting a 35 and wanting to retake it to get a 40 or something. Isn't that stupid???? I totally know how you feel about not wanting to have to take it again. i would love to know that my score is good and that I can sell or give away my MCAT books and never have to look at it again. That would be great. But we'll see what happens.

 

[monu1234]

oh god no, what if i do have to wind up taking it again!!!!!!!!! oh god, i feel like the picture of the guy chained to the stone, oh god, i can't take it... wow, this pressure is making me really melodramatic... nooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[juniper456]

anyone else having total relationship meltdown at the moment? i'm having trouble separating the stress of MCAT scores with the stress of dealing with irritating people. . . wait-- everyone is irritating me right now. bad, bad scene.

 

[River Rat]

i have a gut feeling that im gonna fail.
here's to taking it again 🙁

 

[tank you]

why is everyone so negative? it's making me feel bad for my score as well 🙁

lets keep our attitudes positive 🙂 im sure we all did better than we think.

 

[TicAL]

I'm normally the type of person that keeps calm and collective, but this wait is driving me ****ing insane 😉 I felt relatively okay walking out of the test site, but as time has went on I really have no idea what to expect when the scores come out. I just know that when the time comes I'm going to be hounded by everyone I know asking about my scores, and the thought of letting everyone down is making me nervous. Well, all we can do is wait, I gave it my all and now it's out of my control. Here's to staying positive! Good luck all, I'm sure a good amount of us kicked this thing's ass 🙂

i had a dream i got my scores in the mail and it was a piece of paper with a whole bunch of numbers on it. to get your score, you had to add two numbers together, but i didn't know which ones. so i was frantically adding random numbers together....so weird

 

[ASDIC]

as the dreaded day was approaching, my heart was beatng like crazy and i couldnt sleep...so i can relate.

been there, done that. 😉

 

[TanyaKatya]

......i no longer care about this exam.....i can feel a Brain Aneurysm coming along......that Blood Vessel on the left side of my head has started to tick.......i reeally feel Ill..........everybody else says i'm fakng it.............i guess i am..........

 

[junebuguf]

Surprisingly, I couldnt care less about my score. I dont know why. I know I should care.....but I dont....hmmm. Maybe in a week or two. Actually, I think its because I've settled on 34-35. If there was any real possibility of scoring higher, I would probably be pretty anxious. But since I've resigned myself to something 35ish, I cant feign any excitement. Plus, I'm trying to get fired from lab since its depressing as hell!!!

ahh...junebug, i envy your "low aspirations" 🙄

 

[junebuguf]

Well, everyone has their demons, but the MCAT has never really been mine. On the other hand, I can say the same for the scores of people who fret about their 'terrible' 3.3-3.5 gpa, which I would kill for. I set a goal for myself of 37 when I started post-bacc two years ago. I dont know why, partly because it sounded like a solid, prime number; and partly because I thought it would be high enough to wow adcoms to look beyond my gpa. I know now that I could definitely get a 37, I just didnt have enough time to work on the test this Spring. Still, I was scoring 35-36 on the AAMC tests, so if I had a good day April 16, I may have gotten it after all. Not likely though, so why spazz out over it? Its the same as if you'd set 30 as a goal, and settled on 28.

Anywayz, Peace out to Brooklyn

oh, i absolutely understand! i think yours is the best attitude to take at this point...i avoid thinking about the test until i get that familiar sinking sensation in the pit of my stomach...ugh

but best of luck with everything, i'm sure you did fabulously on the test!!! 👍 👍

im willing to bet you will get a 37. let us know.

 

[junebuguf]

I wish I were that self assured, but alas, I think my gut feeling is correct. Still, its not a bad score and I'm not trying to get into no ivys. I'll definitely post on SDN when I find out.

Does anyone know if the THx system goes down from all the logins when scores are released? That would suck.

 

[firebird69guy]

no but i have heard of people logging in and getting other people's score who were logging in at the same time... guess some wires get crossed somewhere along the line.

=)

june 14th is it? something like that?

 

[monu1234]

I thought about it, and it's official, I will actually cry if I have to retake the MCATs... I'm a grown up, I shouldn't be crying after exams, should I?

I'm in the mood for fried chocolate chip cookies

[cadaverage]

As each day passes I get more and more nervous. Good luck to all of those waiting. 🙂 🙂 🙂

Hey, you took the MCAT at SJSU, huh? Who'd you have as proctor?

 

[tank you]

ok, it has finally occured. im officially freaking out about my score, my stomach is turning as we speak...not good...

 

[Arsenic]

it happens to everyone in the last couple of weeks leading out to the score release. the only way i kept my sanity was by knowing that it was out of my hands and that freaking out wasn't going to help me.

Heya nich..no i didn't take it at sjsu, which would've been so convenient. Instead, i had to take it at cal state hayward. I'm assuming you took it at sjsu? how was your experience there? 🙂

 

[Thundrstorm]

Guys, please do yourselves a favor and stay away from this anxiety-ridden thread for the next 2 weeks. Worrying now won't change anything. 🙂

No way, really? I had been under the impression that my near-consuming state of fear would have an actual effect on my scores. 😉

[Turkeyman]

HAHHAHAHA oh man that was hilarious!!!

😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀

Man...I keep reading this thread and feeling like I should be worrying too. In actuality, I really feel nothing. Does this mean when I get my score it'll be like a 4J? It seems the ones that worry the most get the high scores!

Well then....*self-induced anxiety attack*

*MCAT score over at the AAMC headquarter computers magically goes up five points*

🙄

Good luck to everyone, btw!

4J. Now common. Give yourself some credit.

 

[Turkeyman]

Haha thanks man 😀
Yeah, forreal though I'm confident I'll get exactly what I earned. Shouldn't be a huge surprise.

 

[markboonya]

i think it would take skills to get a 4. i mean random guessing will score higher than that. so u gotta mark the wrong answers on purpose to get a 4. wow, that should be another option for mcats like betting over/under: if u manage to score below, say a 4... that should convert into a 30 or something.

 

[tigress]

Hey everybody. Here's my situation: I can ignore the MCAT for a few days, and then it suddenly hits me that I'm getting my score soon, and then I get all nervous.

anyway, I posted this on pre-allo, but what do y'all think? june 14 or 15? I really hope it's the 15th...I know that sounds weird, but the 14th is a holiday and it would just kill me if the scores were up for a whole day and I couldn't even check them 😱

 

[junebuguf]

What difference does it make if scores are released on a holiday? If they are released, then are they not, by definition, available for view?


Will any of you be disappointed with a good, albeit lower-than-expected, score? Say you're aiming for a 35 but get a 33 or 34, will you be really upset, mildly upset, not really care, still be happy? Remember this is based on your expectations, not your actual score...so you can't answer based on a 35 vs 33.

on Jewish holidays we can't turn on electricity or anything

I would be mildy upset with a score lower than my practice tests, but if it's over 30 I'll still be relieved.

 

[monu1234]

ok, so i'm really really superstitous when i have too much time to wait for something... do you know what that's like??? i keep trying to interpret random stuff happening to me as some sort of sign. I know, it sounds lame, but that's what too much time does to me. I spent the last five years with like no free time and now all of a sudden, i finish school and I don't know what to do with mysef (this is with a full time job).

ps. tigress, just out of curiosity, what holiday is the 14th?

 

[junebuguf]

Lucky for me, I'm not Jewish....so rock on the 14th!!!

Even if my religion somehow precluded the possiblity of checking my score on the prescribed day, I don't think it would be enough to keep me from doing so. And I think this is a weakness of organized religion, not of mine.
