Well, it has been 2 weeks (just about tomorrow would actually be the day) but I can start checking my mail everyday waiting for results from the PSB. Even though I know it will take even longer than 2 weeks to receive I'm so nervous I just want them already! Ugh I also just checked my bank account and they haven't even cashed my check yet! Do you think this means they haven't even sent the tests out yet? I really hope not. I don't think I cant wait even longer to know, I just want to send my stuff in already and relax until I receive the letter saying if I got in or not.

@paflightattendant - I'm glad you found the new thread I think I was actually posting with you for a day or so. I just wish there were more people on this site applying for 2010 that we could talk to. That really sucks that you can't retake the test only being 1 point off from what you needed. I'm scared I will do really well in all the sections but science. I'm currently taking a biology class so hopefully it will count as my remediation class (if i need it) but I'm sure it won't.

Hey kbm318 im right there with you I took the test on Oct 16th as well. I will definitely let you know if I hear anything. Im guessing you will recieve yours before I do tho, because for some reason its been taking a 4-5 days AT LEAST everytime I send something to or from PA, so im allready expecting it to get "lost in the mail" :P Thanks so much for starting this thread!

Where do you live at? Since you said it takes at least 4-5 days I was just wondering, I'm from WV so I will get it later than people closer to Pittsburgh I'm sure. But yes definitely let me know when you get your results.

Oh wow that is far away from here! Did you fly out here just for the test? And yes I will be applying other places as well but I can't start sending my stuff in until the 1st of December. My essay haha it hasn't gotten very far. I think I have maybe one sentence, it's sort of tough to think of what to say.

And thanks, good luck to you too!

Oh and about private msgs, I think you have to have 15 posts before it will let you send them.

Ya there was no way around it, they said I had to take the test out there. My mom is a flight attendent tho so I was able to go standby, and I was also visiting friends in the area so I was happy to come out. Im right there with you on the essay too im hoping to get started this weekend.
