Usually Sask takes 13. But this year was weird because only 6 of us got in.

you know you can find this info on every school's website :rolleyes

 

if i havent forgotten ... it says on usask website that out of 28 seats - 15 are reserved for in province .... that leaves 13 seats up for grabs

 

this year might only have 6 - but that probably has more to do with OOP's gettin in elsewhere - I know of at least 3 of us from BC (off this board) that got in this year and chose to go elsewhere ... its easy to get interview at sask anyways (only look at 2 best years)

 

UofM is trickier - they changed their policy this year ... in order to limit the amount of OOP's they take in .... interviewed alot less of us this year by raising the minimum avg in "core" courses (ie. pre-req avg) for OOP students .....

 

I have a 3 friends doin dent at UofM in 2nd and 3rd year now - they say its because they dont want to train dentists that have no intention of stayin in the province after they finish (OOP's)... when they have a shortage of dentists within province

 

The info is usually all on the school websites ...

Well I wouldn't say it's exactly easy to get an interview in Sask because this year you needed an 84 (two best years) just to get an interview and over 87-88 to get in.

[Guest madflossin]

I got in with an 85 - thats pretty low for a best 2 year gpa

 

and a sub-par interview score i sent from ubc - i didnt even go to sask for interview

This years average to Sask was over 88%, that's the highest it's ever been.
