HannaLee Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 I was just wondering how U of T regards the MCATs...I wrote them this august, and am worried about the essay section (i just froze ). I intend on applying to western and queens just in case i meet the cutoffs, however was wondering how stringest u of t is with mcats. my u of t weighted gpa is 3.9. I've done EC's and volunteering as long as i can remember, working at an hiv/aids clinic as a research assistant now etc. should i bother applying to u of t?

tarzi Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 based on ur stats - yes you should. 110%. don't worry about WS...as long as it ain't a J,K, or L I don't think it matters much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jixe Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 tarzi's right. Your stats are great and UofT's application involves just one essay, so it definitely won't hurt to try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrubbed Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 Briefly, U of T's cutoffs are not fixed cutoffs as UWO's and Queen's' are: applicants with MCAT scores below the posted cutoffs, N for the writing sample, will have their applications flagged. If an applicant's application is compelling enough in other areas, U of T will grant the applicant an interview. In general, U of T gives more leeway to graduate students than for undergraduate students. If you score an M, you may still have a chance. If you score an L or lower, U of T will probably deny your application. Best of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blahblahblah Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 FYI: i got 'L' on the WS of the MCAT, interviewed, and was accepted at U of T. although i probably represent the only person with a WS score that low to ever be accepted (i know i have the lowest WS score of anyone in my class), consider how much i'd be kicking myself if i hadn't applied. you should apply, 100%, for sure, no question. worst case: you have a head start on your app for the next cycle if you're denied his year. blahblahblah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
