Schulich Dentistry 2020 Statistics

[MolarBond]

Hi all, 

The stats haven't been released, but in case you were wondering how the ABS/PS affected the average for our class... it didn't really.

Academic Average: ~89.9% 

The DAT was consistent with the past few years, more or less. 

With that being said, there was someone who was interviewed with a low-80 average (far below the cut-off of 87.5% in previous years). I do not know the minimum average that was admitted. Also, some people were invited to the interview with an 18 RC, but that may have been an error from the Admissions Office. The minimum for next year will likely be 19 RC (like previous years).

I would say that the biggest change that the ABS/PS brought to our class is the fact that we have 15-16 students with graduate degrees, two of which who have a PhD degree. This is a significant change in the class demographic. 

Good luck to all!

Do you have any idea how heavily the DAT AA is weighted? 

 

Thanks so much for the information by the way

[MolarBond]

The admissions office do not release this information, but I would imagine that it would not be more than 15%. 

[MolarBond]

I should also mention that the waitlist moved 35-40 people. This contradicts the speculation of many people during the application cycle (myself included) that the Schulich waitlist wouldn't move much.

How certain are you of this statistic?

Wouldn't post misleading information Came straight out of the mouth of the head of admissions.

That makes me wonder how long the waitlist really is and what position I was since I never got the call. Sigh

[DDSER]

Haha true, thanks for this. Just sucks knowing I was that far down the waitlist

Would you say the 15 Grad students coming this year was just a coincidence, or is the school now looking for more grad students vs undergrads?

The ABS/PS - as well as the interview - favours more mature students, imho. The number of people coming straight out of a four-year undergrad is a minority (<10 students). Most people have been out of undergrad for two or more years, during which they were able to rack experiences (professional and life experiences) through work, graduate degrees, travelling, etc. 

 

So, I don't think the school is looking for graduate students per se, but rather the change in the admission process favoured those who have grad degrees.

Molar bond who are you LOL! and yes this was stated in class so it's 100% accurate

They should release an official document in a month or 2 with all stats including age range of the class, and how many people they interviewed, at least they did for us last year. But molarbonds info seems pretty accurate to me

[Kentucky Fried Blaziken]

I know who molarbond is butttttt I can't tell unless he lets me

It's 2016... did you just assume their gender?

[c2j]

wow 89.9??? It getting higher and higher each year... maybe in 5 year it would be ~95%....

It makes me wonder whether GPA is still the biggest factor in the process (along with the interview) even though they introduced ABS/PS.

I don't think so. It's been around that number for a while.

Can confirm the info.

 

Only 1 of the 37 waitlist offers were declined, and the last offer was the day after white coat. So for future applicants, don't be discouraged as nearly 65% of our class is from the waitlist.

Head of admissions said this was an anomaly, so it's not certain. the average was still more or less the same, but use the ABS/PS to your advantage...doing a masters was probably a function of that, so just do something else that stands out as well. hope that helps
