TPR Average: 28-30
Post-test expected score: 10/8/10 (my previous score)
Actual Score: 11/9/14 (34)

I'm freaking ecstatic. I scored nowhere near this range on my practice tests. I couldn't do AAMC because I did it on the first time around.
 
congrats guys! for people who signed up jan date right after exam but scored well now and will drop it: please PM me!!! would really appreciate it.
 
Test Date: 9/18/14
Time: 1pm
FL AAMC Average: ~30
Post-test expected score: (PS/V/BS) - Don't even remember, I think I may have posted about this and given numbers, I'll go back and check but I did walk out confident, and slowly I started to convince myself it was just false confidence lol. However, it did feel like just another AAMC practice test to me.
Actual Score: (PS/V/BS) 11-10-11 (32)

I'm happy with my score. I know it's not amazing, but I worked hard for it, and I worked hard under not the best circumstances at times. So I am proud of myself. Also thank goodness it's balanced lol. Will post more later, have to get back to work!!

Anyways, I hope it went well for everyone! Keep your heads up no matter what. Thanks everyone on this thread for providing such a supportive and comforting environment. Wish y'all the best and look forward to reading how awesome y'all did 🙂
 
Test Date: 9/18/14 Time: 1 PM
FL AAMC Average (9-11): ~36 PS (13-15), VR (10-11) BS (11-14)
Post-test expected score: 34 (14/10/10)
Actual Score: 32 15/8/9

I feel kind of depressed since its below my average. But hey everything in life happens for a reason. and as long as I am accepted into any medical school I can live with it.
 
7/4/8 - 19 overall. Mom died day before the exam. I have no idea why I didn't void...I was in this crazy idea that I should just go for it. Will be retaking before the new exam obviously but feeling pretty hopeless right now.

I am so sorry for your loss. I am in complete admiration of your strength and perseverance and I'm confident you'll achieve your dreams.
 
Hey everyone, congrats on your score, and best of luck for those rewriting. If anyone has a Jan date in Ontario or Michigan, I would appreciate if you would let me know before dropping!
 
Test Date: 9/18/14
Time: 1pm
AAMC Average: 32.125 with a 28 outlier (range: 28-35)
Post-test expected score: 27-32. I predicted about a 30% chance of scoring 30+.
Actual Score: 11/10/12 - 33

I started studying again 2-3 days after the test date because I felt so bad about it. What a lot of people on here have said before is totally true - even though you may feel like the exam killed you, still expect to score around your AAMC average. I'm so happy to finally be done with the MCAT, and hope you guys got the scores you were looking for as well.

Really sorry for your loss. Oh man that is hard. It shall be well
 
Congrats to all those that scored well! I wish I could have scored better!
Would really appreciate it if someone planning to drop their scheduled January exam could PM me before dropping 🙂 Thanks!

Congrats all! I was an August mcater and didn't do well.....if anyone in (CA especially) is dropping their January date please message me before you do! I will literally pay someone(if allowed)!!!! I need a Jan date!
 
Only wrote VR because I'm a 3rd year applicant applying to McMaster this year.

My average was 11.2 VR, and I am slightly disappointed to say that I can join the ten club. I got my hopes up after the 81% in the trial section, but I knew that the VR would have a weird curve.

So, I need a superb CASPer score to get an interview (cGPA at U of T is 3.80). We'll see. It was a good learning experience, and psych + soc is my background, so the 2015 MCAT won't be so bad.

Anyway, it was fun going through this together with you guys! Good luck with everything.
 
My average aside from an anomoly was 30

My actual was 11/6/9

Anyone hear of anyone getting into med school with those stats? If someone is dropping a date in the Chicago area or anywhere in Illinois. Please let me know.

Hey DrDreams,

I remember you suffered a personal loss around the time of your test. So I would think that this score does not reflect your best effort and worth re-taking. The "6" in Verbal is the weak point here, a lot of schools screen out anything lower than an 8.

Yea it was the night before the MCAT and I was sick. I am definitely going to retake, but it sucks I have to drive to Stow, Ohio from Chicago.

Any idea how I notify schools I am retaking?

I called up every school and they put my application on hold. Are you applying for matriculation in fall 2015? Because it may be too late to retake. Many of my schools had a September MCAT cut off.
