PTstudent Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 Has anyone heard any rumours of any schools dropping the MCAT and prereq requirements for any other med schools other than Mac and Northern Ontario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuantum Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 You don't need the MCAT for Sherbrooke; Western and Calgary has no prerequisites per se but they do have recommended courses and you do require a 4-year honours degree at UWO.

daryn Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 MAC is??? (well I do think their 0.87 difference in GPA is a little cunningly deceptive) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blinknoodle Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 I thought McMaster was actually planning to ADD the verbal section from the MCAT as a requirement... It is true that UWO no longer needs course pre-reqs but it still requires the MCAT.. and due to the change in the eligible pool of applicants, who knows what this will do to the MCAT and GPA cut-offs.

Grandmellon Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 Mac has said that they will require the VR portion of the MCAT starting in 2007 application cycle... but it is unknown whether this will really happen or not because they have been delaying this for a couple of years.

Grandmellon Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 Here's the msg from Mac admin *************************************************************************************** Notice to potential applicants: The McMaster MD Admissions Committee is considering the introduction of a computer-based reasoning test for application in 2007/entry 2008.
