I applied for western even though I didn't meet the cutoffs for the mcat


Recommended Posts

I had that fantasy that maybe they'd look at my application even though it doesnt meet the requirement... but I guess I just gave them $125 for free. Is it a waste a time if i continue writing my 8 mini essays for the abs? Since I live in north york, i wont qualify for the living in southwestern ontario. I got a 127 in cars, but they require a 129. I naively thought that because my gpa/ec's are decent.. maybe they'd overlook my shit cars. Now that I rationally think about it, they'll probably throw away my application before they read my extended abs right?

 

my total is 382 for bb/cp/cars but their total is 383

Apply anyway. No one knows how the essays will be evaluated in conjunction with the MCAT cut-offs. It is already highly speculated as to whether they will remain the same or change to accommodate the new essays. Western themselves mentioned they are adding these new essays to create a more holistic process in reviewing the application. The biggest mistake you could ever make is not submitting those essays only to find out you may meet their (potentially new) requirements.
