  1. just do practice. especially if you have already been exposed to the material. you will see where you are weak and plan accordingly. getting a feel for how the MCAT tests is MUCH more useful than prepping for the whole summer and only doing 1-2 weeks of practice.
  2. Even so, if they are discrete, they must be in increments larger than 0.5? Maybe 4, 3.8333, 3.666, 3.5 etc etc? Obviously nobody knows for sure, but a 4.0 to one set of interviewers could easily be a 3.5 to another, making it an unreliable tool.
  3. Is this actually verified? I have seen this idea placed over the forums, but there is no way they assign 575 candidate scores into 8 discrete bins. There are 3 interviewers, and each interviewer has a score sheet made up of multiple criteria with the highest value being 4. It is much more likely there is a continuous spread of interview scores that are formulated from the average score between these interviewers, rather than discrete bins. Otherwise, there is no way to reliably differentiate a 4 from a 3.5, or even a 3.
  4. if you're not applying to Mac, Western, Alberta or Calgary, your MCAT is more than adequate for every other school. i recommend against rewriting. spend your summer doing something fun or meaningful.
  5. They only look at cut off lol, I and others will tell you that with 100% certainty. At UofT, 125 across the board = 132 across the board
  6. InviteTime Stamp: 12:20 AMLocation: IPStream: englishwGPA: 3.89Current year: 4th year UG ECs: thought it was below average, but maybe not. apparently not considered for interview invites. Casper: thought it went good, but not good enough for Mac
  7. It's under the personal information section not under language of instruction! Where it asks "what official language do you speak?" Or sth
  8. It will primarily be in the stream you selected.. but there will be some of the interview in the second language.
  9. If your message was in English, it's English.. and French is French lol. Also it's on OMSAS
  10. Generally, high Casper > high CARS > high GPA (because of the skew) So you are better off with a low GPA than low CARS or CASPer. I think if you ace Casper you have a pretty good shot
  11. Nobody knows how Casper is scored or even what a competitive Casper score is. You've got an uphill battle with that GPA though.
  12. It is to screen applicants, but it's also factored into the pre-interview score competitively
