I don't care... as long as they are up sometime today. I just don't want to suffer through the whole weekend waiting for Monday.

 

[chem01]

I am checking every 20-30 mins.

I just want to know: am I going to be able to enjoy this weekend!!!

Patience is a virtue: YEAH RIGHT!

 

[Doctor Octopus]

Help! I have a paper to write and I can't do it until I have my damn score!

Just disable your inernet access.

 

[Tweetie_bird]

heh..I tried that too. unfortunately I also knew how to enable it, so that didn't work. <img border="0" alt="[Laughy]" title="" src="graemlins/laughy.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[Laughy]" title="" src="graemlins/laughy.gif" />

i have to sit in front of a computer all day. why why why WHY am i not seeing patients today???

stupid test.

 

[tennis_pIayer]

If someone calls them, can you also ask whether they are sending ALL THE SCORES OUT TODAY? or just one of many many batches?

 

[chem01]

I wonder if all the people who work for MCAT were rejected from med-school...maybe this is a way to get back at the whole process?

CONSPIRACY THEORY!

stupid test. •••••"Seeing patients?" Are you a nurse?

 

[Sweet Tea]

nope. not a nurse. i do clinical research, but we don't have any clinics today and therefore i'm stuck in front of the computer. i should have said "seeing participants" instead of "seeing patients". my bad!!

 

[relatively prime]

sweat tea: That sounds cool! My research is part clinical too... or will be in a few days... hopefully
Yeah "seeing patients" makes me think doctor, nurse, PA, etc... but that could be just me

 

[Tweetie_bird]

really??
I "see patients" all the time, at least that's what I say/think. They have a disease, they participate in research that i do..and they come to me as participants, although they are patients. talk about egocentric, I'd rather think "patients" than "participants." Atleast that way I feel partly half way there.

 

[missbonnie]

tennisplayer-

when i called ammc yesterday they said that the paper scores will not get mailed out for another week or so.

I think this thread is digressing. At least we're keeping ourselves occupied until the scores are released!

my friend called iowa and they said "later on today, could be anytime". damn them. i am ready to send them bomb threats or else....JK!

go to your happy place

part of me really wants to call them (again) and pester them until they give me my score just to shut me up, but then a bigger part of me says that the more they're distracted by people calling in, the slower they'll be in posting everyone's score.

i think i'm going to wake up tomorrow morning and still not know my score.

stupid test.
