  1. I know the feeling. They changed the formula for calculation as well. It used to be: GPA multiplied by some constant + VR multiplied by a constant + BS multiplied my a constant Now it is: 2 X GPA + MCAT (VR) And they take the top 200-250 of the OOP applicants using this formula and give them a full file review. Minimum 3.6 GPA for OOP applicants, but remember that UofC uses its own conversion which is even less forgiving than OMSAS
  2. This is from the applicant manual for last year: "Applicants with a completed graduate degree will have their overall GPA from their graduate program used as equivalent to one year of undergraduate GPA for the purposes of calculation. In the event that an application has multiple years with graded courses within their graduate program, the graduate degree GPA will be calculated using the weights of the individual courses." Its a very confusing statement to me as both sentences seem to say the same thing but point to 2 different calculations. In your case, I would assume that they would take all the grad courses, average them, and then consider it as one year of UG GPA. So if you had 4 years of UG when you graduated, they would take the best 3 (dropping the worst) and then add the Grad GPA as another year (total of 4). I would email them of course just to be sure...
  3. Watching 20 hours of NFL playoffs!! GO SAINTS! If you could be anywhere right now, where would you be?
  4. Congrats to everyone on the acceptances! I was wondering if you wouldn't mind putting your stats at the top as you copy the accepted/rejected/waitlisted post. They started doing it last cycle and I thought it was really helpful for future applicants! Thanks!
  5. The most asked question on ALL pre-med forums: What are my chances for med? Followed by of course the most frequent response: Please search forums, and stop asking.
  6. I will change the world. Promise. Nothing that's worth having comes easy. (Grammatically weird, but had to make it 6 words somehow:D )
  7. What happened last year? I was thinking of applying to Queen's next year, but now am very interested to hear what you have to say...
