bric0lage Posted January 8, 2021 Report Share Posted January 8, 2021 IP/OOP: IP Decision: Invite MCAT: 509 aGPA: probably around 4.1 or 4.2 Coefficients: SES Interviewed last year so was pretty confident I would get an interview this year. Felt good about casper. However I was surprised by some of the IP rejections and am now thinking the pool is a lot more competitive this year and I was probably just at the cut off :/ makes me nervous Jules97 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a Manitoba applicant, but with what I know about the school and the application process in general the most significant and worthwhile thing you could do would definitely be improving your MCAT.

Good luck I agree with this assessment. Your AGPA is good and I think with the mcat being 50% of your score improving that will help a great deal.

Honestly at this point I agree because I’ve seen posts here of lower gpas and MCATs getting OOP, unless of course the coefficients hold considerable weight.

There is no reliability to it... I did really well on the American one based on my feedback there. Am I mistaken? Isn't 5th quintile the highest scoring quintile? Or is it opposite?

WpgJets Posted January 8, 2021 Report Share Posted January 8, 2021 6 hours ago, string said: I think it might be. Just by looking at the limited sample size of this thread. Alot of 522+ 4.4+ OOP's were rejected and a few 508 3.9 IP's got rejected. I feel like those IP stats historically get an interview. But who knows, all speculation at this point. Honestly I don’t think you can say that this year is more competitive for IP until those who didn’t get invited start posting their scores and quintiles, especially for CASPer. This sample is so small (literally a few out of 400+ IP applicants) and given how much CASPer counts towards an invite, you can’t discount that without their stats. For OOP however, I can absolutely see it being more competitive because of the virtual interview component. It is very easy this year to apply to most schools across Canada knowing that you can interview for all of them from the comfort of your own home and never have to buy a single plane ticket.

MasterDoc Posted January 8, 2021 Report Share Posted January 8, 2021 10 hours ago, premed1989 said: Thank you for the insight! I'm working on this as we speak and I'm really encouraged by the IP invitations I've seen going to to others with a similar AGPA and only slightly higher (I believe one was only 3 points higher) MCAT scores. I'm aiming for 515 or higher to be more competitive next time around Lots of work to do for sure before I can get to see what it feels like to be invited to interview :-) Now that you have had the experience studying and taking the MCAT a 515+ should be very attainable. Also a 508 is an exceptional score, so now you have gained the confidence that you can do well. premed1989 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentBond Posted January 8, 2021 Report Share Posted January 8, 2021 Yup, I was confused for a bit too because quintiles are normally analogous to percentiles, with higher quintiles indicating higher scores. Manitoba med is the only place where I've heard the 5th quintile being at the bottom. Honestly though, I wouldn't be surprised if one of the admissions office drones has the concepts mixed up and either fucked up the CASPer ranking or gave everyone incorrect feedback.

So sad...honestly losing hope. My CARS is only 128 lmao, most likely not enough to make up for the low CASPer (for Ontario schools.) I honestly wouldn't worry, 128 cars is not bad at all, it's actually really good (you're only 1 below the median for mac, and I know a ton of people currently in medicine who couldn't score that high for the life of them). 3rd quintile casper is also not bad- you're right in the middle which should be more than enough with your gpa and cars. I'd be really surprised if you don't get an interview at mac and other ontario schools depending on ABS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
