mcmac Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 I know these posts are very annoying. I am sorry in advance. I will only be applying to McMaster. It has been my #1 choice for years. 3.83 overall GPA and 129 CARS. I am worried that my GPA will not be considered competitive.. I am seeing students with 3.9+ I don't know how you guys do it! I have a 3.99 GPA in my last 2 years of uni but my overall GPA does not seem adequate. Please help! Should I rewrite the MCAT this summer and shoot for 130+ on CARS? Is my GPA too low? Very insecure pre-med student over here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

End Poverty Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 24 minutes ago, pyridoxal-phosphate said: I feel like retaking a 129 CARS is pretty damn risky and I wouldn't do it. Aren't these stats only slightly below the average (if at all)? I believe the average GPA at Mac is 3.86, so yours is slightly below average. I believe it will be a better idea if you work on CASPer to improver your chances of getting an interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very insecure pre-med student over here Mac's average GPA is 3.84 and 129 CARS. You only need to work on CASPER and scoring average on that will guarantee you an interview.

eng2med Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 I got accepted this year and my GPA was 3.84 and I only had a CARS score of 127. It's possible. Make sure you work hard and if you ace the Casper, you are competitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttercream Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 I have a cGPA of I think 3.78 and CARS of 126 and got in this past year. It’s very possible for you to have a chance. It just takes a bit higher CASPER score for the invite, and then after that it’s essentially the interview that will determine your fate (70% interview, 15% CARS, 15% GPA). Considering your CARS score is good, if you practice and do well on the interview/CASPER you have a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
