Figured I'd start a thread for the last ever test day of the current MCAT. I'm dreading studying but I should probably start soon. Who else is taking this day?
Finished "The House of God" last week. Definitely helped to alleviate my anxiety by reading this hilarious, wild and compassionate novel. The problem is that I need to find another book for the next 7-8 days...
MCAT scores going up... On a Tuesday...
Want that 45 score but she choosey...
Atul Gawande's books are pretty good. Start with "Complications."
I had this great day yesterday after going to a medical school fair where everyone looked much more Young Professional than I did. I limped across the street to a restaurant with my biochem homework--thinking I'd study--and instead ordered a banana rum hot chocolate and read a comic book.
I don't care about medical school anymore! TRYING. ha. Grotesque. Ha ha ha ha.
I'd heart this a billion times if I could. You can't be a bloody minded savior of humanity EVERY day of the week. What I learned from that fair was that I am just going to have to fake like a normal human being a lot harder next time.Omg there is something so freeing about not trying at all for a bit! Reminds me of when I went to a medical fair back in college, but left due to being too hungover. The champion in me made me go, but the rationalist side made me leave. After all, balance and character make doctors human, and that's important too, right?
I don't know. To me it feels like being the last ones limping across the finish line.About 71 hours left. Not that I'm counting.
I also started getting kind of proud that we are last people getting scores from the "old" MCAT. Ever. We're making history! (That, at least, should count for a point or two.)

71 hours, you say? *stares hard at minute hand*
1/23 MCAT/end of the world party thread.I must say, your posts have made me laugh and made me feel less anxious (a tiny bit). lmao @ limping across finish line.
I think it's actually never going to be posted. This has all been a weird terrible dream. We never should have set down our drinks at that party.Is it going to be posted at a predetermined time on Tuesday?
I'll be at Grandma's.. hopefully she'll lend me a wine cupJumping off of @beastlybaja, I suggest we veer the discussion to what we plan to drink Tuesday afternoon/evening. I'm out of town this weekend for work, and luckily won't have a chance to think much about it until Monday night. Maybe I'll have different booze options on hand according to what I think I deserve, like Franzia for under a 30, a basic IPA for between 30 and 34, and Hendricks for 35+...
Soooo nervous right now...less than 2 days. On my first MCAT in september, I dropped 3 points from my average...on this one, 3 points below my new average would be fine with me. I just need to improve...this is it for me.
https://www.aamc.org/students/applying/mcat/scores/422532/1991-2015-mcat-scores.htmlI think it's typically been 3:15 eastern, right?
Oh, uh, yes. EST.I think it's typically been 3:15 eastern, right?
I keep getting emails about Caribbean schools and masters program did I completely bomb the mcat or what the hell is going on. I took the mcat in July and got a 30 so do you think that's why? I think I'm being paranoid
My nightmare for the past week has been:
checking my score, seeing a stellar score, starting to celebrate... and then all of a sudden the numbers start to change...and decrease...and I reach out towards the screen as if to stop the numbers...plz stop decreasing...
