milesdavis: Caaaalmm doooown, you'll do fine. If you're remotely good at science, then the chemistry should be a breeze for you.

If anyone's gonna be near Pupin physics hall, I'll get to see some of you guys =)

I was in Pupin room 301.

I wish we had calculators. :/ I can do the basic math required, but it would have been a lot less annoying if I did't have to do everything out on paper.

I know that we dont get admission results until June - but do we get the EXAM results sooner?

btw how many challenge math questions do you have to get right to be admitted? Does the letter of rec and your grades count at all towards getting in?

From some1 who took it... heres how i think i did.... 100% on first math part.... like 80% give or take ont he science... and for the challenge part i only ommited one... out of fifteen. but for arguments sake, lets say i got two or three wrong... so thats like 11-12 rite... would that get me in? BTW... i wanna be a doctor wen im older, but i put Biology as my major, not medicine... was that a bad iDea? >_<

Yeah, to add onto that, does anyone know if your field of interest has any bearing on your admission decision? I chose earth science over bio cause it's probably less common, but I don't think I got all the earth science questions right, where I'm pretty sure I did better on bio and I could've even selected math cause I'm very sure I didn't get more than 2 wrong at MOST on the easy and challenge sections combined. :\

nah man.. your career choice isnt a big deal...
but i found the science a bit hard...i didnt remember half of my bio stuff and that crap on nuclear fission was so random...

anyway... can anybody that took the exam last year tell us what they got....so i can kind of judge where i am...

thx...

You don't get your exam scores back, unfortunately. =(

Incidentally, I was all the way on the 2nd floor if anyone was there.

I'm a Junior and I totally BOMBED on the challenge section. I missed about 6-7 Math sections (1st math section) about 6-7 questions in science, and I only got like 3 problems on the Challenge section. (I just guessed to fill in about 14 choices, what do I have to lose anyway, if I answer just 3 I'm not gonna get in...so I'll risk losing 1/3 of a point)
I'm hoping that the class you filled in has some bearing on your admissions status...otherwise I'm expecting a major "REJECT" letter (avg gpa = 90)


Also, about 99% of everyone there was 100% nerd. No offense
