Guest geekpunk Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 The new MCAT cutoff is: 9P, 10V, O, 9B w/ a minimum of 32 overall. And 3.68 GPA. I'm out! (8 in Verbal!@!#) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Madz25 Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 there has been a spike in the number of applicants this year so it was probably easier to weed out applicants by raising the verbal score... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TKP 123 Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 I am a VR unsupporter. I think VR is always a joke. I really believe that people who score lower in VR still perform well in medical school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest supa76 Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 ahhh $hit.. i'm out too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest coastalslacker Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 Though I can't give you a reference, I have consistently read over the years that scoring well in VR has the highest correlation with doing well in med school. I think because it's the only section that you can't really study for-you can either play or you can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shadowguitar Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 The cutoffs are entirely dependant on the applicant pool. They take the top 450-500 GPAs and MCATs and offer interviews to those people. It is not a pre-determined thing. I cannot remember which one they consider first, but this is how it works: ...they take the top 800 or so GPAs (or MCATs....again, I do not remember which they consider first), and from those they take the top 450 or so MCATs (or GPAs) and that is who gets interviews. So it is not like the admissions committee sat around and said "hmmm, let's make it tougher to get in this year". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dr555 Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 What is Western's cut-off? Is it strict like Queen's? ( please say no!) dr555 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest akinf Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 Queen's seems so intense, but in reality, don't most people who get interviews at other schools have stats like those anyways? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest el pansito Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 about the VR cutoff....I got 9 the first time I wrote the MCAT and 13 the second time. so....the truth is that the MCAT is just one day in your life, and you could just have a bad day. I agree with cutoffs, I think 9 is ok but 10 is a bit steep for VR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
