marine reacted to a post in a topic: Anybody from VIU? Considering a second degree at this institution
-
No experience with the university or program but I am wondering why you are considering a second degree. Is it just to boost GPA? As someone who works in the field of Kinesiology, there's not a ton of opportunity there imo. Most of the people I graduated with have moved on to do other things and I only graduated three years ago. Kin can be a good stepping stone but it's hard finding a steady position and pay is not great (for the most part). As with any field, you can carve out a niche and do well but that seems to be the exception.

Limes reacted to a post in a topic: Advice for Non-Trad/Mature Applicant planning to write only the CARS Section for MCAT

Hey smart, my best advice for studying CARS (and the MCAT in general) is to create a spreadsheet to document your errors. I would have a column for source/passage/question, my answer, why I answered that why, what the actual answer was, why did I get it wrong (content related, comprehension of question, etc.), what I could do differently next time/do I need to brush up on something. Practice the passage like normal but when you go back to review answers, go through the rubric and fully analyze everything. It's time consuming but very helpful.

Post-Interview Scoring
BKin.d replied to WizardPalace's topic in University of British Columbia Medical School
But that wouldn't consider NAQ at all? I could see a 50/50 split between TFR score and interview -

Post-interview feelings
BKin.d replied to Ss123toy's topic in University of British Columbia Medical School
Yeah, regrets with below average interview. I felt OK at the time but it was my first interview so hard to gauge at the time. I didn't think it went all that well but I didn't feel horrible about it. I was optimistic I would still get offered a spot. -

I think you need at least an average interview. I had similar stats my first cycle (94% GPA, 520 MCAT, TFR of 67 and cutoff was 51) and didn't get a spot or wait listed. I really feel like the interview is the major factor used to evaluate you. No one knows for sure but I would think at the very least 50% of your overall score is probably strictly interview. -
