neuroscience_nerd Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 So I was on the AAMC website today and it says that it can not announce what time MCAT registration will open on Thursday. Does anyone know what time registration generally opens? Or will it be posted the day before? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premedder101 Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 they'll probably put it up by late Wednesday or they'll change the date on Wednesday night at 11 p.m. and say that it has been delayed until the Monday. That's generally how they work, those AAMC business geniuses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premedder101 Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 I only say that because that's what they did to me last time I registered. And it says that they cannot announce a time in the news box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizz.lee Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 is anyone else sitting on the AAMC website right now? refresh. refresh. refresh. I wonder what time zone their IT department is in. It's definitely Thursday in Toronto now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewfieMike Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 last year when I registered it opened at like 9am. I hope you don't have plans tomorrow, because I had to skip class. The cue waiting to register took 45 minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsci Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 will dates really be filled by like noon tomorrow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizz.lee Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Thanks for the advice. I'll go to bed and start at it again in the morning. I have to catch a train to school by 11, so hopefully I'll be in by then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verbally_abused Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 has anybody been able to register??? I'm in the system but I don't see the summer dates! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizz.lee Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Check the main page. The dates still aren't open, unfortunately. It would be nice if they at least gave us an estimated time it would open, even if it was off by a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rach Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Has anyone ever re-scheduled their test date from one testing cycle to another (ie Jan-May rescheduled to June-Sept)? I currently have an april date but want to switch it to the summer. I'm afraid I'm going to have a hard time making that switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rach Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 that's what I was worrying about too It probably won't take you long to figure out whether or not you need to cancel your spring date first, then register. Unfortunately I have to leave my house at ~9am so most likely my sister will have to do it. If she has problems re-registering due to the dates, I'm screwed! Praying they put it up before 9am!

zzban Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 i have rescheduled before you don't have to cancel your original date i believe there is a section for "reschedule" once you log in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldnk Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Spaces fill up, but they don't fill up in the first 30 seconds. The problem is the AAMC doesn't offer enough slots for each day and so you get a mad panic situation because potential med-students are overeager.

Rach Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 It's 8 EST!!! nothing yet! life of a premed I can't stay home all day. Most days I stay home all morning but of course the ONE day I have to go somewhere at 9am, is the day registration opens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g35 Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Is everyone still stuck at the "Checking system availability. Please wait." screen? You'd think that if it's not open yet, it'd simply say so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
