I feel like that outage screwed over people more than the company / mac will ever admit.

Perhaps aboriginal / rural ? They had invites @ Manitoba & NOSM..

I want to take a moment to second this. We've seen a ton of people get invited with low VR/CARS and/or GPA scores so don't give up hope!

Yes but that is a near perfect GPA - not an easy thing to accomplish. That GPA alone could do wonders for any applicant.

Time Stamp: 11:41 AM

Invite: Yes

CGPA: 3.95

VR: 10

CASPER: I was apart of the group with major technical difficulties, so I wasn't sure about how many of my answers saved correctly. But I felt not too badly about it. Of course, my assessment of that changes moment to moment - most people can probably relate!

4th year applicant

 

This is my second year applying and will be my second time interviewing.

I always botch the verbal on the official MCAT day (gotta work on those nerves for interview day :/ ) so I decided to stick with the 10 and focus my efforts on the CASPer.

Given this year's return to assigning bonus points for graduate degrees, and that the mean verbal score of admits was over 11 last year, I wasn't sure it would happen for me this time.  Feeling over the moon and SO grateful to have a second shot.

 

Good look to everyone!

Will most likely decline this invite.

[BirdyBirdy]

thats not a low cars score 

 

A  premed gunner told me it was a equivalent of a 10 and not very good for McMaster. I took his word for it. 

 

Edit: Actually now that I did some more research 128 is not bad. It will be right at the cutoffs too for Western and Queens I think?
