Just signed up for this test this morning. I wanted to take on 4/27, but alas that didn't work out.

I've been studying for about three weeks now. Who else is taking the test on the 11th?

Good luck everybody! Just keep telling yourselves that 45 is statistically possible - a few more hours of false hope!!! I'm sure you all did well though, best of luck this cycle.
 
Good luck to everyone. Hey I didn't Get my gift card yet did any of you get it?

If it's not anywhere in your e-mail, you may have to call aamc to find out if you did or did not get it. That's the method that one user had to do to learn that some AI deemed that he did not put forth a good faith effort. Can't remember which test date he posted that on.
 
Good luck from a 5/18th-er here!

When you guys get your scores, can you post your post-test predictions and aamc averages as well?

May 11er here. Any last minute predictions after our month of reflection on your scores/breakdown?

8P 9V 9B for me... I am hopefully being conservative!
 
I hate making predictions, but I am going to go with something around my AAMC average. I'm predicting 32 (10,11,11), and hoping I'm ball-parking low.

This is so nerve-wracking! Everyday for a month I've been wishing for this day to come faster, and now that it's here...I sort of wish I could put it off a little longer. Once you look at that score, it's it, you know? No more fantasies or possibilities. The cat in the box is either dead or alive.

:luck::luck::luck::luck::luck::luck:
 
Well, here we are again:

AAMC 3: 30
AAMC 8: 27
AAMC 9: 30
AAMC 10: 30
AAMC 11: 30

Average: 29.4

Highest/Lowest:
VR: 11/8
PS: 12/10
BS: 11/9

Possible: 10, 11, 10 (31)
Desired: 10, 10, 10 (30)

Prediction: 10, 10, 9 (29)

First time: 9, 7, 7 (23)
Actual: (pending)
 
Stay positive, man. No need to over stress yourself. A balanced 25 should get you plenty of love in the DO world, and that's very obtainable seeing your performance on the AAMC FL's.

I would bet my money, but don't have much, that the scores will be up by 3:05 EST.

Good luck to you and to everyone here!


TY for the encouragement brotha.

I had a dream last night that I got a 7/12/12. That would be a dream come true!

Prediction: 7/9/8.

I made 2 silly mistakes on BS and they've been killing me so badly.

Bah. My lowest score on AAMCs was 26. I'd be happy even with that.
 
Hey guys! Lurking on the thread since the beginning (lolz) but am joining in now to post my stats good or bad to help out the may 18thers and others!

Predicting a 8/9/13 super unbalanced but that's how it feels :/

Had a dream where I got a 34 and 36, dont know why i'd ever retake a 34 though but dreams are dreams i guess.
 
Good luck everyone! What a long drawn out process. When is everyone applying? I'm planning to apply wed, thurs, or fri this week.
 
I always wondered how Bruce Willis felt in Armageddon... now we know. Count down time boys and girls sit back and enjoy the ride
 
Wait are the scores released at 12?

There's no telling, but perusing the MCAT twitter, it seems like all of the "The scores have been released" tweets have happened around noon to 12:30. Could be later, though.


Ugh, I am so miserable right now. I went kayaking yesterday, and like an idiot, I didn't put on enough sunscreen, so I am BURNT! So even if I wanted to get up and do something to take my mind off the waiting, like clean my house (it needs it), it hurts too much, lol.
 
My stomach pangs are now just constant. No amount of Netflixing is helping right now. Is it too early for some bourbon?

Also, how long did it take for your transcripts to arrive at AMCAS? My registrar cashed my check on 6/3 and assuming it was sent that day, it's been over a week a week now.

Frack.

My transcript took 10 business days to be marked as received and for me to receive an email notification.

I've been following AMCAS on Facebook. They say it will take about 10 business days... I requested transcript last week too.

I've been trying to finish personal statement and work and activities section... But i cant focus cause of this mcat score. 🙁

And not to be a creep, are you a NY resident? Im a NY res as well...
 
Good luck to all those getting their scores today- just a couple more hours to go!

May I suggest posting your scores in the following format (to help future MCAT takers and for those who look back on this thread for reference):


MCAT Prep Material:
AAMC average:
Prediction:
Actual:


And include any other categories or info as needed

Yep, did my post-bac here and hope to stick around for med school. It's a shame how super competitive the med schools are around here. Need to break a 35 for even a chance. My conservative predictions are down to a 29 by this point.
 
Just reserving for later.

From what I rmr from the top of my head...

Aamc 3 --13 10 12
9 - 12 11 12
10- 14 10 11
11 - 12 11 12

I rmr total avg was 34. Lets see how worthy aamc practice tests are for test prep.
Prediction-- 11 9 11
Actual --
 
School sent my transcript 5/28, just got marked received today! What good timing! Looks like I might be submitting tonight pending MCAT score any hour here!!
 
Here is what gets me. It's not like the AAMC is compiling scores right now. Or yesterday. Or even the day before. They have them ready riiiiiight now. I bet they're sitting here refreshing this thread too. Hi guys! Give me a bump up please since you're obviously still calculating things riiiight this second.

Bitter? Me??? Nooooo.
