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.

I live in San Diego. Have you applied other places as well? Hows your essay comin along? Good luck, hope we hear soon!

Also, does anyone know how to send private msg's on here?

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.

oh well at least it wasn't super expensive for you! where did you sit during the test? I know there were a lot of people but you never know we could have been sitting by each other haha.

Haha I def almost asked you that in my original post. I was sitting in the second row all the way on the right hand side, strawberry blond hair, I think I was wearing a white and blue striped shirt. What about you?

Oh ok, I think I remember seeing you. I was in the very back against the wall I got there kind of late.

OMG i officially hate you!! Just kidding of course. I still haven't gotten mine and I live closer than you :( How did you do ?

I was super worried about the reading comp for some reason, i was terrified of seeing that score but I ended up with vocab 94 , Math 99, RC 99 and Science 91. Gotta get started on that essay now!! Hope you get yours tomorrow!

Oh congrats!! I'm really nervous now, I think I did the worst in Science some of those questions were pretty tricky. Hopefully I get it tomorrow I don't think I can wait much longer!

Ugh I still haven't heard anything! I'm about to just go camp out by my mailbox and wait for it. When you recieved yours was it the actual results or was it just a letter from Shadyside telling you what you got?
