UBCstu Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Hi, I was just wondering if any of the OOPs had received interview letters yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaymcee Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Nothing yet for me, unfortunately. I was not too far above last year's cutoffs, and they may have risen this year with the relaxation of the overly-picky English requirement. (I'm in BC, too.)

UBCstu Posted January 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 I just received mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaymcee Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 I guess that means I better have something in my mailbox when I get home today, or it's pretty much a no-go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jade Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 UBCstu - does the letter state the AGPA and MCAT cutoffs for interview? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UBCstu Posted January 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Hi Jade I didn't get a chance to thoroughly go through the forms yet so I don't know if they have included that info or not. I'll check as soon as I get home and let you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UBCstu Posted January 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 No, the letter doesn't give the cutoffs or any other such info. There are just two sheets. ONe is just a letter from the admissions committee (detailing what must be submitted b/f interview) and the other is a form asking for our contact info and interview date preference.

kaymcee Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 "After careful consideration, we regret to say that we are unable to offer you one of the interview slots allocated to applicants from outside Manitoba." Oh well... Also no word on what cutoffs were, just that the interview allocations were based on AGPA and MCAT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superking25 Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 kaymcee, what was your AGPA and MCAT if you don't mind me asking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaymcee Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 Hi Superking25. MCAT: 32Q (PS/VR/BS = 11/10/11). AGPA: 4.08. These were just a smidgen above the cutoffs last year, and I'm not surprized everything went up with the removal of the English requirements which disqualified many people last year. I'm a little bummed, but I only need one. I'm still holding my breath for UBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daryn Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 kaymcee: sorry to hear that. My stats are similar to yours. Did you get an email or snail mail? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuantum Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 Sorry to hear that kaymcee. If it makes you feel any better, I got one too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saberial Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 My stats are similar to yours as well Kaymcee if thats any consolation! With those stats you should have an interview at Queens coming March? Best of luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaymcee Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 Thanks, everyone, for your consolation! Sorry to hear about the thinvelope you received, Kuantum. I guess the $50 I stapled to my application wasn't enough. I received snail mail, daryn. And yes, Saberial, I am looking forward to hearing good news from Queen's.

MillerTime Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 no luck for me. GPA - 4.00 MCAT - 38Q (14P/11V/13B) Guess my gpa was below whatever their cutoff was. A bit frustrating since the final weighting is 50% MCAT and 10% GPA..... great way to start the week off.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaymcee Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 I'm sorry, MillerTime. I would never have thought someone with a 38Q– amazing score!– would not have received an interview at Manitoba. You're from Ottawa... maybe see you at Queen's interview? We'll have some chilly Millies to celebrate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cutiepie Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 Miller, you're probably too good for the school b/c I know people with lower stats OOP who got interview invites...I wouldn't stress it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiger00 Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 I'm in Toronto, and I still haven't received anything. I hope I'm not the only one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaymcee Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 Keep in mind that no news is not necessarily bad news. Both invites and regrets are going out at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillerTime Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 didn't bother applying to queens, my GPA wasn't high enough. I've got a couple bad marks that drag down my average, but with manitoba dropping a certain # of credits, my average went up a bit. And it was on 4/4.5 (that's what manitoba is on, isn't it?), definitely not a 4.0/4.0 hah. Maybe i'll give the admissions office a shout or email or something and see if i can find out what the GPA cutoff actually was. I hoped that even though i'd probably be close to it that my MCAT would make up for it. Guess not. I'm sorry, MillerTime. I would never have thought someone with a 38Q– amazing score!– would not have received an interview at Manitoba. You're from Ottawa... maybe see you at Queen's interview?
