Hopefully they get rid of it entirely! As an aside, do you guys know when we hear back about results? Last year they came out March 24th so probably around there give or take a week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" https://medicine.dal.ca/departments/core-units/admissions/application-process/interview.html Thoughts? Personally a little worried by this. I graduated 10 years ago with a 3.7 GPA by Dal's calculations. It's not stellar, but up to this point I was hopeful as I got two interviews. I'm happy with a 513 MCAT and my work experience/EC's are pretty good. I think I really improved my essay as well. I don't mean to whine, but I'm worried that the reduced pandemic course load requirements are just going to inflate applicants' GPAs and kick me out of the running for an interview. This means the rest of my file doesn't get looked at. Oh well, hopefully this is the year! margaret123 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect this year is my last chance based on grade inflation and the weight Dal is placing on GPA. Hopefully we both get good news in March. margaret123, McCoy and justtryingtosqueezeby 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
