How high do these OOP stats have to be to get an interview remember they also look at CASPer and essays! I personally felt decent about both but they're more subjective so I may not have done well in that area! Good luck to those still waiting! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They maybe assume you'd get multiple offers ? This could be true but I feel like this is the purpose of the waiting list right, they'd still give offers to the high stats but have a long waiting list in case they decline?

lional773 0 Posted October 28, 2020 Report Share Posted October 28, 2020 OOP Rejection (few hours ago) GPA: 90ish MCAT: 520 EC’s: Not the best but not weak CASPer: Met Dal’s cut off, felt decent and don’t think it went bad enough to limit me Essays: Whipped them together in a week or so but not my best work. Kind of expected this tbh they only have 6 OOP seats Ss123toy, ubccommutergirl and justamom 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Even examples on this forum alone of what I mentioned. I don't think this is what they meant- I think they meant is it possible for MUN to specifically disqualify people just because they have high stats, not that people with high stats are guaranteed an interview (which like you said, is definitely not true) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We can speculate but personally I don't think they would do that because the waitlist takes care of that problem for them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I just think offmychest thought that justamom was insinuating that people with high stats are guaranteed an interview but she/he/they were actually saying the opposite Ss123toy 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ss123toy 41 Posted October 28, 2020 Report Share Posted October 28, 2020 OOP Invite around 11:25 am PST!!!! So stoked! GPA: ~83.5 MCAT: 523 (129 CARS) Degree: UBC BSc 2020 Extracurriculars: nothing crazy, mix of short and long term (3 months-10 years), hours ranged 30-1500 for each, emphasis on volunteering/helping others as opposed to personal development/hobbies, lots of research but no pubs, worked multiple part-time jobs throughout uni Casper: felt good References: one stellar from a uni prof, one average from my volunteer supervisor So beyond grateful and excited to be receiving this invite, especially given my low GPA compared to the OOP pool. Taking this as proof that MUN really does look at applicants holistically PopShoppe and ubccommutergirl 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
