Harvestpro Posted October 27, 2016 Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 Knowing Western will consider your application with only one year meeting their minimum GPA (at the time of applying), I'm wondering how this affects one's application. 1) Is acceptance after only meeting one year of the GPA cutoff at the time of application realistic? I have great extracurriculars and an MCAT that meets the requirements for the past few years. Is there any point in applying if this is the case, but I only have the one year meeting the GPA minimum? 3) Has anyone been accepted to UWO Meds with only one year meeting the GPA cutoff (and then meeting the 'condition' of a second year in their final year)? Any info on this would be stellar Thanks! I know some that have. As long as you meet the GPA after you graduate, it's fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralk Posted October 28, 2016 Report Share Posted October 28, 2016 1) Yes it's realistic, yes you should apply. 2) Yes, it's a common enough occurrence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aray623 Posted November 2, 2016 Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 I feel like I've read this a million times and no one knows the answer, but just in case.... Does anyone know how you are ranked with only one year? I'm SWOMEN with only one year above 3.7 (3.99 last year), one point above the 384 MCAT cutoff, and currently doing a 5th year of undergrad. I'm really banking on Western because of my SWOMEN status but I'm afraid that I might have to wait another year because of a "disadvantage" due to being a conditional applicant.

No one can say definitively, but I don't expect you to be ranked any differently if you had 2 years making the cutoff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmorelan Posted November 3, 2016 Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 we truly don't know. Plus there is a smaller sample size to work with so we don't have much to extract from. I would think there has to be some difference but really that doesn't stop people from getting in (this therefore is just my speculation). Most people I know that got in using the one year approach were put onto the waitlist (could be the good one). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
