Hey guys I get my score back tommorow and this might sound like a dumb question but how does it appear right after you log in? Is the score right there or do you open another tab and then it shows up? I hope you can answer, thanks and congrats to all of you!

All the best for tomorrow!!

I lurked here extensively while preparing for the test, and figured I'd throw my two cents in.

AAMC Fl average: 38
Post test feeling - no clue/pretty poorly
8/15: 40 14 (PS) 12 (VR) 14 (BS)

Feeling extremely fortunate as it will help me balance out a less-than-stellar GPA. Also lucky because I had the entire summer, uninterrupted, to prepare. Best of luck to everyone considering a retake or still awaiting their scores

The best application is a single strong MCAT score. Just by retaking the MCAT will weaken your app for many schools.

the people i addressed that to are sort of past that point aren't they...?

I was addressing your "be thankful you can retake, there are worse things you can screw up" point. Screwing up on the MCAT isn't much better than having a mediocre GPA. In fact, I'd argue that a 3.3 is miles better than a bad MCAT (sub 26).

Where do you plan on applying? I'm nervous waiting on my scores.

Not sure yet! lol especially with that score. I took my MCAT before my junior year started. I am thinking about taking a gap year OR taking the MCAT next summer.
