radical Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 It took a while but I got in for July 18 at Toronto. So I guess just leave the site open and you will eventually get through. Once you are in, it's pretty fast. Good luck everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freebird Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Haha, wow, you guys are really impatient. =P Although I guess you have reason to be with the fiasco last year. Anyways, I just got one a minute ago for Toronto Congress Centre, Sept. 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanelleChong Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 can i just confirm that once you get an email and the page that says your "seat reservation confirmation"...you're registered? it didn't say that my credit card got charged or anything..is there supposed to be a credit card cofirmation number?

THX Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 What fiasco? Don't get me started on last year's registration... so many hours wasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supafield Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Ironically last year was a sinch for me... I woke up around 8.... and although it said london was full for like half and hour... I finally managed to get an open seat and was done... haha to bad I decided to defer until this year This year I was up til 2, back up at 6... and not registered until 10..... because my girlfriend hours away was trying for me too and got into the site in 10 minutes after I had been in the waiting room for 2 and half hours lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest viscous Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 for the last 5 hours, my account is trying to load after I entered in the credit card info and clicked on submit. No matter what computer I use, as soon as I put in my id, this stupid message comes up: WELCOME TO MCAT REGISTRATION AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE Please wait by keeping this web page open. If you close out of this page you will lose your turn. You will be taken to the registration login page as soon as we are able to handle your request during this busy time. Don't have an account yet? Register here. Loading Bar Helpful Hint: Opening multiple browser windows and/or multiple tabs in a web browser decreases the chances that you will get into the system and is very likely to significantly increase your wait time. Can you tell me what the heck is wrong with this AAMC system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osmosis Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 that was the same message on mine for 13hrs. have you tried using firefox? cus i got in with it in like 10 mins. i don't think their is anything wrong with aamc, we have to remember that practically every pre-med is logging onto this webiste at this time, so it is going to be ridiculously slow. you could also trying phoning aamc and see if they give you some advice.

goose Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 sounds like people have had a pretty wide range of luck with the process - I think that's all it boils down to. I tried a few times earlier this morning and ended up giving up because it was taking too long (2+ hours), but I tried this afternoon and got in within 10 minutes... and I got my first choice for date and location.

The August dates filled quickly Yah, maybe people probably want their MCAT scores before the application deadline so they know whether to apply or not, I dunno.
