quintessence Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 it would be so nice if UofM updated their admissions process and contacted us electronically like every other school in the country....*sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lth Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 I just received a rejection letter as well. I'm from Ontario, and my AGPA was 4.04 and my MCAT was 11.75. What sucks is that I got an interview last year with a slightly lower AGPA, but no love this year. My sneaking suspicion is that the AGPA cutoff is 4.05 this year and the MCAT cutoff is 11.5, but I have no proof, guess we can only find out if someone decides to contact the office.

lth Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 If the interviews are offered solely on cutoffs, then I don't understand how foos got an interview while xyz didn't get one since xyz has a similar mcat but higher gpa. Maybe they are taking more into account than just cutoffs this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keith_015 Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 was there any mention of having to write a sketch, and if so when is it due? No mention. Guess they may surprise you, as they "expect applicants to spend 5 hours at the university on the day of the interview". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keith_015 Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Who knows, maybe they just draw names from a hat? I wonder if that 5 hours includes a tour... Last year they gave everybody a tour so I'm sure the same will happen this year. For the OOP's, I'm sure rural doesn't come into play as the admissions board never reveals stats on applicants for that background. I am wondering...people may have good GPA/MCAT, but possibly not a lot of variety in EC's volunteering. Maybe 'well rounded' + Competitive GPA/MCAT may trump out high GPA/MCAT. Or maybe the remnants of last year's double cohort grads of Ont is causing a huge flux in applications across the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moose Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Who knows, maybe they just draw names from a hat? I wonder if that 5 hours includes a tour... haha, the tour will literally like 5 mins. that still leaves 4:55 for whatever else they have planned. Mac made us write a stupid essay on the spot. So that doesn't sound too unreasonable I guess... moose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMG007 Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Hi Guys I got my rejection today. My MCAT was lower so I was not expecting much after great scores were shot down. But for what it is worth I have 10.75 MCAT and 4.2 AGPA Good luck to everyone on their interview! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freedom Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 For people that like to have an idea of to expect before they rip open the envelope.. If you can see a bright colored red-orange sheet thru the envelope, you probably have an interview. other thing to note: Nothing about the personal statement. Expect to spend 5 hours. Dates are March 8,9,15 (date/time) and are randomized. Bring your special someone to the orientation session on Valentine's Day at 7pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
