What are my chances for McMaster?

[Canadian123]

Hello! Im an in province (Ontario resident) student and scored a 123 on CARS (their minimum requirement) and 3.0 GPA (their other minimum) but I scored in the 75-100th percentile for CASPER and have a MSc so Ill have the 4% grad bonus.

I wouldn't apply

It can't hurt to try, if you don't mind spending the money to apply with low chances, but I would say one of those lower end scores likely needs to improve if you want to get an interview. I would try working on CARS first if Mac is what you're aiming for.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but unless you're in a special stream, that combination is mathematically impossible. You are essentially at 0/66, so even if you max it out you're still well off from the cutoff. Also, it's actually only a 1% bonus IIRC, not 4% for the PhD. Even with a PhD impossible. 

Based off my previous post here you'd need a a 182nd percentile CASPer (minimum).

There is one for indigenous applicants. Also MD/PhD is very slightly less compeditive for the MD criteria, but your stats are still too low.
