Information for 2017-2018 Applications

[Donald_Duck]

Hey applicants! Your fellow duck from the neighboring pond would like to offer you some info on this years application. 

For pre interview, your GPA, Casper and now your Sketch will all be looked at and scored for determination for interview invite, so aim high on all 3 categories. The weights are not disclosed however you can imagine how it would be split up. MCAT is not considered.

To clarify for french stream applicants from Quebec, residents from the Outaouais region (google it what that includes) have a 3.7 cutoff, other parts of Quebec are at the 3.87.

Once you get interview invites, watch out on this forum for the interview practice that are offered by first year med students. The practice was extremely similar and helpful.

Thanks for the info, Donald! Do you also know if there is a cut-off score for Casper that has to be met to be considered for the interview, or are all three components (GPA, Casper, and sketch) weighted and an overall score determined?

[Donald_Duck]

They typically make cutoff scores for each category. For casper it was scoring in top 30th percentile (for the English stream anyways). I cannot comment on if they will keep the same formula this year given that they also have the sketch. Just try your best

Does anyone have any idea how they would go about scoring the sketch?

[Donald_Duck]

Most likely like it was done in the past, a committee for each section of the sketch will score you. Try your best in obtaining the highest score!
