Purplehaze Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 Has any one who wrote on jul 30 gotten their scores back yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takashi Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 I didn't write the July 30 mcat test but if you are expecting your score today then you should check back in mid to late afternoon. I recall somewhere, not quite sure where probably SDN forums, that AMCAS tends to release the scores around 2-4 pm. So take a chill pill, go out and relax and come back to see your awesome score at 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryphon Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 I also wrote July 30th, and no score yet here either! Although, I'm not expecting them to be up until after 5pm since that's what it says on the score release schedule... I feel your pain though... hate the waiting game!!

mavrik13 Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 I completely agree - I wrote July 29th, so I've had to wait an extra day compared to the July 30th people I'm not banking on them coming out before 5pm EST... which is 6pm AST for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gryphon Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 I couldn't wait and checked again... probably shouldn't have though because they're up, and I totally bombed 8/8/11 O super bummed about this... Hope everyone else did better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplehaze Posted August 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 sorry to hear gryphon keep your head up...you'll just write it again until you get the scores you need. This was my 2nd time writing and I ended up with the EXACT same scores as last time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
repede Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 I just checked mine... I don't know if a VR score of 10 will be good enough to pull me through to a McMaster interview, but my PS/BS scores are pretty good. My writing score is... M! What! I have no idea what happened here, I can't have screwed up my essays that badly. Now I dunno if I should aim to write a September test or not...

mavrik13 Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 Just got my scores - 11/11/O/11. Very surprised, this was better than any of the prep MCATs that I wrote (I only got one 11 on a VR passage, and that was EK VR 101... out of the twenty or so that I wrote). I wrote on the 29th, but figured I'd add it here anyways! Best of luck to everyone still checking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryphon Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 Thanks Purplehaze... looks like I'll be writing again too! And sorry to hear about the no change in score ... damn MCAT! repede - keep in mind that VR is only worth 25% now for Mac. Also, the previous average was 10.8 or smth, so I would def apply! Mavrik 13 - that's awesome!! Definitely a bit jealous, haha ... Seems like I had the same thing happen to me, but the other way around, with my scores dropping a couple points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBoss Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 Not too great of writing scores here...tough prompts or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryphon Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 Not too great of writing scores here...tough prompts or what? To be honest, I thought I lucked out with the writing prompts and felt pretty good about them after the test... but clearly that wasn't the case :S Not sure what happened!

takashi Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 For those who are considering rewriting a September test, be aware that the late registration is closing within the next few days. Sept 2nd is the deadline to register for the Sept 9th test and Sept 4th is the deadline for the Sept 11th test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I book a September 11th date today in anticipation of an unpleasant surprise on the 7th, can I still get a partial refund on my test fee on 4 days notice?

I don't believe so. According to the MCAT essentials pdf: "Cancellations If you decide not to sit for the exam after you have registered for it, you will be eligible for a refund of $115 if you cancel your registration by the regular registration deadline. If you received fee assistance from the AAMC, the refund will be $85." You need to cancel minimum two weeks before the date of your mcat to get some compensation.

Yeasayer Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 I wrote on the 30th, I got 9PS, 10VR, 11BS Q. Not bad but disappointed that I got the same score as the last time I wrote and I only studied for 3 weeks then. Oh well. Hopefully wont affect my application too severely, my GPA is slightly above competitive average Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully wont affect my application too severely, my GPA is slightly above competitive average With a good GPA and those scores, you should be competitive for UofT, Mac, and Ottawa but you may encounter problems with Queens and Western who work with hard mcat cutoffs.

repede Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 repede - keep in mind that VR is only worth 25% now for Mac. Also, the previous average was 10.8 or smth, so I would def apply! Thanks for the encouragement, I'll certainly try. PS 14, VR 10, BS 12, Wr M. 36M, it's like an oxymoron. I guess I'll be banking on the rumours that UT and UBC don't weight the MCAT very heavily. The cut-off for UT is N for writing... but they sometimes consider people who got M, so here's to hoping I'm one of those "special cases". UBC's bare minimum cut-off is M. Unfortunately, I don't have any writing/English courses in my transcript to prove my writing skills to any admissions committee. *sigh* I'd certainly like to see the look on their faces when they look at the score "M", then see that I'm an ESL tutor. Unfortunately for me, I can't do another sitting on the remaining dates, so I'll just have to cross my fingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplehaze Posted September 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 Hi repede, I think you should ask for your writing score to get remarked...I don't think you have much to lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charmer08 Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 ahhh now im scared seeing so many of you with great scores but not so good of a WS score... I think I did really bad in the writing sample and the prompts for my exam weren't even that hard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adventurous09 Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 Bombed VR but got a Q on the writing. Dont worry no one's score can reflect what you will be getting! Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
