Good to hear it’s a little more holistic for OOP. I saw this too and got real fired up about it so i contacted them directly lol. It is a holistic screen with no hard cut offs but they said that for OOP a 510 mcat and ~85% was competitive. They said you're not automatically excluded if below, but chances of admission are greatly diminished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psych Posted October 22, 2020 Report Share Posted October 22, 2020 18 hours ago, UalbertaG said: Hey if your OOP I saw a post a while back from a user on these forums that for OOP applicants they have an internal minimum of 128 in any given section. I may be totally wrong but I recall reading that. That person was trolling- it's literally impossible to have a 524 and less than 128 in cars lol. If they got perfect in all other sections and 127 in cars you get 132 X 3 + 127 = 523. They could not have had less than 128 in cars DrOtter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willy Wonka Golden Ticket Posted October 22, 2020 Report Share Posted October 22, 2020 Hey all! also got OOP rejection today. 509 MCAT (127/130/125/127) and a 3.87 cGPA with pretty good ECs. Not surprised, but of course a little disappointed. From reading the rest of the thread and all the OOP rejections (and IP rejections for that matter) does anyone think they may have reduced the number of interviews they are doing this year due to limitations of the virtual format? Or was the applicant pool just particularly competitive? (or maybe we are just a particularly unlucky bunch on this thread? lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be terrible, to reduce interviews with how much people have riding on each application.... Feel like admissions needs to keep that in mind with switching formats I was (slightly) surprised by being rejected but not sure how competitive the pool is this year too. For reference: cGPA 3.8ish, MCAT 507 (but CARS 130), and got OOP interviews at EC heavy schools last year (Calgary + UBC). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean the turn around time for them giving interview invites is like 6-7 weeks ish. With 400+ OOP applicants, it doesn't seem feasible for them to take a real deep dive into the specifics of our applications. While they say there isn't specific GPA and MCAT cutoffs, based on the data shared already on this thread (albeit a small sample size) it seems like even having one or two low sections on the MCAT, or a couple years with lower GPA can really break your application.

This is totally reasonable. I guess I was really placing trust in admissions when they told applicants this year that OOP get full file reviews now regardless of gpa and mcat.

Goldfish1234 Posted October 23, 2020 Report Share Posted October 23, 2020 Sorry if this has already been asked - but does anyone know if the essay questions are factored into the pre-interview evaluation? Or is this something typically evaluated post-interview? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemonmeringue444 Posted October 23, 2020 Report Share Posted October 23, 2020 I received my rejection yesterday, and from reading everyones posts here it seems this year is super competitive. IP applicant, I have a 3.9 gpa and good ECs however my MCAT score was 497 Congratulations and good luck to those who got interviews this year.

They don't look at ECs ore interview for OOP applications if I'm not mistaken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
