Pre Interview Decisions

[grasswedge]

Hello! So I'm confused about how Queens does evaluations pre-interview. Is it

1) They use MCAT and GPA as cutoffs, and everyone who survives the cutoffs are judged on ECs + reference letters and those that have best ECs and Refs get interviews 

Or

2) Whoever survives the MCAT and GPA cutoff is assessed on everything (mcat, gpa, ec, and refs) and those with the best score get interviews

Step 1: A GPA cutoff is determined. All those below the GPA cutoff are cut. All those above proceed to step 2.

Step 2: An MCAT cutoff (subsection and composite score) is determined. All those below the MCAT cutoffs are cut. All those above proceed to step 3.

Step 3: Reference letters and ABS are assessed. A score is assigned to each student's GPA, MCAT, ref letters, and sketch. The students with the top 500 (ish) overall scores will be invited for an interview. The rest are cut.
