I did get an invite to McMaster, but probably since they care so much about CARS. Queen's wasn't my top choice but I'm still confused too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your MCAT is fine. I wouldn't cause yourself pain and redo it. There's even a chance the CARS will drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
