Praying I get in somehow off the waitlist. Feels shitty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's so odd you got waitlisted with a score of 76.25, but they said the average score of accepted OOP applicants was 76.2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glittergirl Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 Does anyone know what the average IP (accepted) score was this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bw326 Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 I've received an email about this question. Here's their response: Thank you for your email. The average scores provided for the successful applicants in your category include those who have been accepted and those who have been waitlisted. Applicants who have been waitlisted are considered to be acceptable by the admissions committee however there are only 9 positions available for out of province applicants. The non-maritime category is highly competitive, with a large number of applications to be considered each year. I hope this helps to clarify your question. keepingitreal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glittergirl Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 Thanks! I was just wondering because I didn't apply this year, but last year when I was rejected, they had the average score (broken down by section) for accepted applicants. So I just added it up to get a sense of how much lower my score was than the average. Just wondering if there was a numerical average again for this year's accepted pool?

catchlynall Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 Yeah. Boggles my mind. I emailed them about it. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that they gave us averages for each scoring category, but not the overall average score. Maybe we can't add all the averages together?

bob338 Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 Accepted IP. Second time applying, wait listed last year. MCAT: 508 (124 / 129 / 125 / 130) GPA: 3.7 Like most people I thought the interview went OK but not amazing. Non-traditional applicant with another professional degree. Limited ECs / volunteering in recent years although a fair bit while in undergrad. WhyWearPrada 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

js660327 Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 OOP 2nd rejection GPA: 3.9 MCAT: 515 (130, 129, 130, 126) Interview: "Felt" worse than last year, but apparently I scored better *shrugs* ECs: varied, lots of medical related, not a lot of "volunteering" though, maybe that got me. Spent time on my essays. Scores: GPA/MCAT: 22.00/25.00 (same as last year) Essay & Supp: 21.75/35.00 (up from last year) Interview: 25.20/40.00 (up from last year) Total: 68.95/100.00 Total was 62.61 last year, so I'm doing better which is better than nothing! Still have another interview in 2 weeks so wish me luck! I'm a bit bummed but it's a journey! Congrats to those that made it this year and chin up to those that didn't. We'll get there!!

MedHopeful93 Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 I've been waiting for years to post this... But ACCEPTED to the Halifax campus!!!!! I still don't feel like it's real! This is my second time applying, and last year I wasn't even on the waitlist. IP (NS) GPA: 4.0 (most recent 2 years) MCAT: 510 ECs: pretty varied. Hospital volunteering, scholarships and awards, art, leadership positions, etc. Feel free to message for details! Interview: Wow I prepared sooo much for this. You can try to learn as much as possible but its the actual practicing that makes a huge difference. Last year my interview score was low but this time I just went in relaxed and felt so much more at ease talking about random subjects because I had practiced. I'm so excited to meet everyone in August! Looktoabove and FeelingTheBern 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaybeMedSomeDay Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 IP - waitlisted :/ GPA: 4.0 (last 2 years)MCAT: 518 Current master's student (1st year) with good research experience (1 pub, 3 pres, 1 e-aid, several awards/grants). 6+ years retail employment and good extracurriculars (I thought), but I think volunteering experience must have been my weakness (hadn't done a lot until my 4th year undergrad). Quite disappointed, but who knows, maybe the list will move. Congrats to those who got in!!! First time applicant. coolboi99 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolboi99 Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 Are you waitlisted? EDIT: I guess you are if you have your scores. What's going on!? Your scores are higher than the composite 76.2 as well. I think it has more to do with Z-scores. In previous years some with a 69 were accepted over someone with a low 70.
