Predental987 Posted September 12, 2022 Report Share Posted September 12, 2022 Hey everyone! I’m a Canadian applicant (From Ontario) and I wish to apply to UofT, Western and McGill this cycle. My DAT scores are 20 AA, 21 TS, 20 RC, 20 PAT. They’re a bit on the lower side and they’re not as high as I wanted them to be. My gpa is 3.98 for Western, 3.96 for UofT and 3.926 for McGill. I think my ECs are good (peer mentor paid position, frosh planner, volunteering, shadowing, research + thesis, club execs, etc). Do you think I still have a solid chance at these schools? Is it even worth applying to McGill? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may consider taking the dat again just to boost your scores slightly if possible, but you have a very good chance to get in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaandrei. Posted September 14, 2022 Report Share Posted September 14, 2022 Yes to Western and Totonto; very strong applicant. McGill is tricky; only 1-2 spots for out of province. Can apply; only gonna cost you an hour of your time and a bit of spare change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentistrydmd Posted September 17, 2022 Report Share Posted September 17, 2022 Mcgill accepts usually around 8 spots out of province but it depends on the year. In fact looking at their website stats it was 11 last year and 10 the year before. Also that doesn’t include waitlist movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird, now that I checked their website, it seems that I was misinformed previously regarding the stats! My apologies, you're right, seems to be 7+/year OOP.

dentistrydmd Posted September 17, 2022 Report Share Posted September 17, 2022 They've been accepting at least 7 every year for a long time. They also usually accept 1-2 international (usually USA) applicants as well FYI, but the past couple of years due to covid they havent done that so much, so thats likely why its been higher recently.
