Schulich - Grad Degree Bonus Points??

[unduhkuvahbruddah]

Am I trippin or is this new?

It's from the FAQs on Schulich's site. I never knew there was a bonus for a grad degree.

 

also the next FAQ below it says having a grad degree doesn't increase chance of acceptance...:

 

I haven't slept much so idk if I'm just missing something obvious or if these are contradicting each other. Has anyone heard of a grad degree bonus before?

It seems reasonable to assume that those bonus points would help your chances to be admitted. Yeah it does seem like there is a contradiction, good catch. I'm really interested to see what the correction will be.

Highlight in the first screenshot is saying they'll give you points for a grad degree when reviewing your application. Second screenshot is saying they don't care about your grad marks for your GPA. They don't contradict each other.

Maybe it's a bonus towards getting an interview, the second picture says it doesn't help with admission chances.

Update: they replied to my email and said it was a mistake and there is no bonus for a grad degree. They updated their dentistry FAQ and somehow that question ended up in the medicine FAQ by mistake.

Ha, good catch though - and now they can update their system to be more accurate. 

I was surprised to see that as they haven ever had any sort of bonus for grad before and it doesn't fit their philosophy to have one either.  Not that having a grade degree isn't useful for western - it just isn't that direct of a bonus.
