for rejected candidates

[Guest jjd32]

Sorry to us all who received rejection letters. When I got mine I was quite disappointed.....but I bet all of you felt that way.

 

One curiosity I have is how far off from that 39.2 acceptance cutoff was everyone? Is it that once you get the 39.2 then you are at minimum on the waiting list?

 

I was really upset since I got 39.13/50, which was 0.07 away from that cutoff. Just wondering if others are experiencing the same thing or if it's just some pure bad luck on my side.

Hi,

 

I assume you are referring to your combined academic/non-academic score. I believe that 39.2 number is the average for accepted applicants. It's not a cut-off for admission or waitlist. At "final selection" they will consider all your academic averages (overall, last 60, pre req), non-academic score, interview score, MCAT, and who knows what else. So don't be too worried about that 39.13. It means you solidly made the cut-off for interview. The only time when the cut-off is a hard and fast rule is for granting interviews. I know cause I had a score of 34.49/50 and the cut-off for interview was 34.5. Thus no interview for me. But no worries since I am off to UofT instead! Anyways, you should definitely go in for a feedback meeting to clarifiy where you can improve.

Ollie,

 

Wow! 0.01 away from the cut-off!!! What a rip, eh? (as we Canadians say;) ) But congrats with UofT, Ollie!!

 

jjd32,

 

...i can't remember my exact file review score but it was somewhere in the 40's and i didn't get waitlisted...so like Ollie said, its probably just for interview cutoffs...they consider many many many other things for acceptance
