Guest kylerh Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 Does anybody know any previous forums or websites that list individual med school applicants statistics. Your input would be great! kylerh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jochi1543 Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 www.mdapplicants.com/ Not so many Canadian applicants profiled there though, since it's voluntary and it's a US-based site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest scooter Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 Hey, Also, I don't know if all schools do it, but Dal does... they post a "who got in last year" stats. Ie age mcat gpa blood type :hat So if you check each of the schools they might have something to give you an idea. though obviously there isn't a X number of hospital volunteer Y research.... check the individual forums for each school- their first thread has that info for accepted (and some rejected and waitlisted also post their stats).

Guest kylerh Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 Yah I know... UFT has one but the Queens, Mac, UWO and UO don't have acceptance/ rejection/ waitlisted stats on this forum:\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kirsteen Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 Hi there, If you search through the archives (from a couple of years ago) you'll find some threads that include posts of the statistics of newly-accepted applicants to UofT, at least. Cheers, Kirsteen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest treadmill Posted May 2, 2006 Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 I just checked out the site mdapplicants.com and now I'm really scared... Almost all of those who get accepted had marks around 3.90+ and a lot of them were almost touching 4.00. I guess I had better work harder...

Guest 0T6 Posted May 2, 2006 Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 MDApplicants is a useful site to get an idea of what people have, but it also does a great job of freakin people out. It's not a representative sample of people who get in, 2 reasons that come to mind are a) People with higher stats are likely more comfortable publicizing them People who know about the site (just like people who know about this site) are likely more keen on getting into meds than people who don't and that might translate into higher stats. Might. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Maelswarm Posted May 2, 2006 Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 They use their GPAs as a pickup line. "Man my marks were too high this year so I didn't get an interview at Mac". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest siobhansiobhan Posted May 2, 2006 Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 that would be one hell of a gpa, given that Mac has the highest entering average in all of canada right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lurkergonepublic Posted May 2, 2006 Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 Is that your GPA, or are you just happy to see me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kylerh Posted May 2, 2006 Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 Some schools have only 2 or 3 people that entered there marks(that have been accepted.) If you're looking at the overall averages of the various groups( accepted, rejected pre interview) you will not receive realistic info. I am confusing, I know, so here is an example If 2 people write in to say they both got accepted to Mac with a 4.0 GPA and 38R MCAT this would be much higher than say 15 people writing in. Lower scores bring down the averages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest akinf Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 This site was really helpful; it gives a good idea of the schools that are more likely than others to take you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
