Because of the spammer, this post was bumped, which brought to my attention that you've taken the MCAT!!
so.... how brutal was it?
It wasn't terrible, just long. I started at 8 AM and finished at 2:30 PM. There was a sick test taker in the room who coughed loudly over the entire session.. coughing loud enough to be heard through earplugs AND headphones at the same time. I ended up filing a complaint with AAMC and I'm sure there are some others who did too.
I felt somewhat prepared but could have been moreso. It's hard to squeeze-in enough study time when trying work full-time and be a full-time student. It isn't really a good excuse, though. My score comes back on 10/15.

Ok, so here we are. It's the 17th...... it's ok if you don't want to say. I didn't even have the cluck to take it, so I'm impressed and proud of you no matter what.

Hey!! Sorry, I've been crazy busy these last few days.. meant to update this thread but completely forgot. I scored around the 50th percentile, which for working full-time and being a full-time student, isn't horrible.
I actually applied to twenty programs: 5 MD and 15 DO. I've gotten secondary applications back from Michigan State MD and DO schools respectively, Tulane MD, NYIT DO, Des Moines DO, and West Virginia MD so far.
Thank you so much for the kind words and support. They mean a lot!
