  1. Being able to read similar stats of accepted applicants on this thread provided me with a lot of encouragement and hope especially since I didn't have a good academic standing (low average, failed courses). I am IP and was accepted into VFMP. My stats are: 1st application (during my 4th yr) Overall GPA: 75 Last 60: 80 pre-req: 71 MCAT: 26P 9/7/10 (PS/VR/BS) AQ: 17 NAQ: 18.36 Overall score: 35.36 - Rejected Pre-interview 2nd application (after completing degree): Overall: 79 last 60: 88 pre-req: 71 MCAT: 32N 10/10/12 Non-academics were my strong point. Although I didn't have much hospital exposure such as volunteering in wards, etc., I was very much involved with other community organizations and used my essay to tie in my motivations for community involvement, etc. I think my essay and NAQ list complemented each other well and were the strong point of my applications. Having low grades is def. a hurdle but certainly can be overcome. I know how stressful it can be to apply with grades that are not on par with other applicants but I think instead of having regrets about low AQ, concentrate on your NAQ and finding out what kind of person you are. Have a lot of people read your EC's and essay and see what they think. I'd be more than happy to help since I recieved a lot of help from many people on this forum as well. Goodluck everyone.
  2. I wonder when they are going to release the official stats for 07/08 entering class.
  3. What is UBC's conversion. UBC really screws with you for not using a GPA system. The courses aren't even scaled on the bell curve....what you score is what you get regardless of whether how the whole class does
  4. I realllllyyyy want to go to Baylor. But, I am not too sure how many canadians they accept and what the stats are. The problem is my undergrad gpa is not too high unless first year is dropped lol so i am guessing in order for me to have a shot i have to score 35 plus to be considered. i believe my non-academics are strong for entrance but academics lack
