AtypicallyScholarly Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 First time IP applicant, received my invitation this morning! Pleasantly surprised given my less than ideal (*ahem* virtually non-existent) ECs. Now for the hard fun part Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GPA: 3.8-3.9 (Not really sure how they convert and calculate GPA and my undergrad university had a strange scale) MCAT: 510 MSc, extensive research and community involvement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munpsych Posted October 5, 2018 Report Share Posted October 5, 2018 First time IP applicant and got my invite this morning!! GPA: 3.3-3.4, I think it converted to like 77%? I can’t really remember. MCAT: 505 I think I had good ECs (health care related and community involvement) and I’ve been working all through my undergrad. So excited!! Good luck to everyone else!!

CapriciousCapricorn Posted October 5, 2018 Report Share Posted October 5, 2018 When is it likely for OOP applicants who may have undergone the full file review to hear about interviews? I don't think I qualify for an automatic interview based on my stats but I thought my essays and a master's degree would give me some leverage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I called them to ask about this and they said they gave interviews based on MCAT (admissions said usually at least 126 per section) and GPA (mostly As, maybe one or two Bs) only. Really sucks cause my stats aren't competitive unless I was IP due to strong ECs/references, great essays, and an MSc. as well but had already paid the fees.

Geez...I am OOP and I have straight A grades undergrad, A grades M.Sc., A grades PhD, multiple papers and conferences, volunteering and leadership, but my MCAT sucks...two sections 125, so my only hope was the holistic review...anyways I wasn't putting much hope on MUN to be honest lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have a 125 section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If OOP's get full file reviews after the interview date, then how are they selected? Is there another interview date for those who are selected after a holistic review or a different process? Anyone have any insight on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone have any insight on this? When I called, they just said the OOP full file review is after the OOP interviews are sent out (they said interviews are based on GPA and MCAT only due to the large number of applicants for such little spots that it wouldn't make sense for them to spend time reviewing so many apps)... so its only done for the individuals that receive an interview. As such, I guess it would make sense that the full file reviews would compliment the interviews to help select candidates for those 6 spots.

Hello10101 Posted October 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 If that is the case, I wish Memorial had been more clear about their "holistic" process. It's definitely disappointing but I guess I will have to wait for a miracle to happen. Hopefully, they are true to what they stated on their website because I would love to get in!

Do we hear about rejection in October or later? talked to admissions today and they told me that invitations will be sent out over the next coming week but we will be notified before the interview if we were unsuccessful.
