Anyone else on here taking it on the 24th? I'm going to start studying later this week. What is everyone else's study plan?
Scores are up
I mean it's not like we weren't all compulsively checking every 3 seconds anyway...
I absolutely blew the bio section. Ugh.
lol they're legit up, at least for meUhhh Ohhh, your account is getting suspended for a week.
I got a 30 too. But I'm a retaker (got a 26 last time), so I'm gonna keep my scores and accept it. My verbal score didn't go up, what a surprise. (not)9/10/11 (30)
retake?
14/11/15 (40)
Test Date: 4/24/14
Post-Test Expected Score: 35-38
Actual Score: 36 (13/11/12)
Comments: About what I expected. AAMC average was a 37, so 1 point below. I am aiming high, but I think I can work with this score.
I basically did the same..just got a 12 in bio. Dont give up. Either retake or apply to DO schools.9/8/11
28
3.6 gpa
How screwed am I?
TEST DATE: 4/24/14
POST TEST EXPECTED SCORE: 27-31
ACTUAL SCORE: 29 (9/8/12)
AVERAGE AAMC MCAT SCORE: 29
COMMENTS: Well, I always planned on applying top DO schools. I have a 3.9 GPA and a solid application. I hope that I'm a lock for DO, and maybe some MD schools will take a look at me. Thank G-d for my bio section score! I actually thought I rocked the verbal...on the AAMC's I was scoring between 9-11 on verbal...oh well...
I used Kaplan material. It was good for Bio, but horrible for PS and VR. Stick with EK for VR and find something else for PS...all in all, Im happy with my performance.
Congratulations!So excited!
A little surprised by PS and BS but hey no complaints!
10/11/14 for a 35! Us old folks can get 90th percentile too!
I feel SOOO much better knowing someone else is in a similar situation. My only thing is I would do early decision, but I would want to do it for my home state... not the state I just moved to to do teach for america. Grrrr.I feel the same way. My aamc average was 30 (sd=o). I'm saying screw it and applying early decision to my state MD program and hoping I can land a "top" DO school. Taking this test again will just hold things up for me. I gave it my all and don't think I will improve.

YYEEEEEEESSSSSS!!!!!!
I'm a 23yr old male and I'm literally going to cry today.
I'm in my lab but when I checked my score I had to walk into the hallway and jump a couple of times. I haven't smiled this much in a LONG time.
THE HARDEST PART IS OVER! THANK YOU GOD!
Synaptic, I'm SO happy for you!!! You broke 30!!!! MED SCHOOL BOUND BABY!!
Beautiful score!View attachment 181670
@SynapticDoctah I'm glad we both did it, 30+ club!
@Lamel and @ConsultantMD and anyone else that answered my questions. Thank you very much and good luck with your apps!
Thanks for the support!Honestly, if I were you, I wouldn't completely rule out MD schools. Your MCAT score is not horrible, and your GPA is great! I totally wish I had that GPA. My friend had a 29 mcat score, and is now at a top California med school. It's doable, just emphasize your other areas. Not everyone is great at taking tests.
For anyone taking tests in the future and are reading this, DO NOT GO BY GUT FEELING. I swore to my entire family that I scored 27 and that there was NO WAY I scored above 7 in VR. Even if you feel super crappy, just trust your averages!
Decent shot at Western UCOMPI hope my 29 can get me into schools in California! yuch, it prob wont
