Figured I'd start this one out. I'll be registering for the MCAT first thing tomorrow. Who else is taking it on this date? How do you all plan on studying over the school year?
If only a real hero like Bruce Willie would wish them luck!
Liam Neeson >>>> Bruce Willis.
Just so we're all on the same page:

What's up, peoples?
My situation is similar. I averaged about a 29 and never broke 31. On the real thing I got a 33, 11/11/11!!! so thrilled! Congrats on the 36...that's awesome!
To help give you some hope my HIGHEST score on the practice tests was a 29.... But on the real thing I got a 31! =) It all depends on how you perform on test day!If you don't mind me asking, how did you feel about the test when you were done? My situation is similar. My AAMC avg is about a 29 with 31 being my highest. I just took the real deal last week and your post gave me some hope I left feeling like I got a 27...
Messing around with my primary and school list. I've around 35 that I'm trying to pare down to 30. Everyone else?
Also I left feeling like I could have gotten anywhere from a 25 to a 34.... I was completely unsure and it was horrible...
PS was AWFUL though... :-/ I just wanna get mid-30s and be done with the MCAT FOREVER!!!!
PS was horrible for me. I am so nervous about what my score will be and I don't think I have it in me for a retake. I will be fine with a 30 (which isn't exactly a bad score after all) but PS may have killed me for getting a balanced score. I have an excellent gpa, a solid overall ap including some great LORs, so I just want this whole waiting game to be over, submit my ap, and move on.
If someone gets a 29 do you think that they should definitely retake it for this application cycle? My focus seems so off and I think I need to devote more energy to the actual application. My PS is not ready yet. :-/ My GPA is 3.78 in biochemistry and psychology... I am applying to state schools and DO schools
University of Maryland is my goal because it is a great school and my SO and his family lives here

Thank you!!! and same to you!!Thank you! Hoping for the best! Good luck applying!
I was advised not to apply to more than 20 schools... 30 might be overkill... but you should do what is right for you...
Normally I'd agree, but the fiancee needs to get a job wherever I get in, so it's almost like a double application. Gotta increase the number of places she'll apply to...
Is she in a field that might limit her number of options per city? Just wondering, I can imagine some fields having more plentiful openings in any given city than others.
What does "We are currently marking as "RECEIVED" those transcripts that were delivered on May 28, 2013" on the AMCAS login page mean?
I've completed everything on my application but just left it as it is and just planned on logging in tomorrow (now June 10th) and submitting. Is there something else I should be doing to have it "received"?
AMCAS has to change the received/not received. They are saying that they have made that change today for all transcripts they received in their office up to May 28th. They get so many transcripts that there is a backlog, so transcripts delivered after May 28 have not been processed, so those applicants cannot see if they have been received on their application. You don't need to do anything unless you think AMCAS should have received your transcripts before May 28, in which case you might want to order another from your institution, call AMCAS, or wait a few more days just to see.
Hey have any of you guys heard of dr. Flowers mcat prep? Our know any one that used it and had success??
