Baljinderthecrow Posted September 30, 2018 Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 Do you think that the admissions committee places value on which institution one received their undergraduate Degree? When I look at admissions statistics, I see that most people that are accepted are from McMaster whereas fewer people are taken from other schools. Only 4 students were taken from York last cycle and some supposedly good schools like Waterloo aren't even on the list! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorArts Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 No, I don't think they do, which is the problem. Some schools have lower average GPAs and it hurts those applicants. Also, some schools, like McMaster, have programs that draw a lot of ambitious students into their premed programs, so they are overrepresented.

On an unrelated note, you only applied to NYU in the states? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorArts Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 Yes, it's my lottery ticket hahah. (NYU is free now). If I have to do another cycle, I'll add more. Anecdotally speaking, however, I am confident when I say that Canada has no consistency in terms of grading between schools. GPA is a crap measure in general and is severely impacted by socioeconomic status, program, and school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PequalsMD Posted November 3, 2018 Report Share Posted November 3, 2018 @DoctorArts Just curious, did you check MSAR before applying to NYU? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
