Rejection here too. IP student. I think my second year GPA was the killer. Oh well, come on UofA!!!

 

Otherwise, Masters here I come.

 

What's your GPA, MoSquared?

 

I think mine shoud be like 3.46-3.48 on the Calgary scale, so pretty low. I'm pretty sure that my cumulative and specifically the D+ in orgo I the first time I took it (retook with an A+) are to blame, since both my MCAT and my ECs are decent, and I know my essay was good. At U of A, however, my GPAs are both 3.6+, and the adcom will never even see the D+, because it was dropped, so I think I have a better chance there, anyway.

I am in fourth year of my degree right now, and my best two years GPA is 3.8, but my second year was 3.0. I am sure my essay was killer and my reference letters. MCAT was average. I think this summer I am going to re-take it maybe that will help a lot.

 

At UofA I have a 3.58 pre-req and 3.79. I am not really too sure how much I missed UofC by. I guess I will find out March 11?

 

Well my supervisor wants me to come in to do a Masters with her. I guess we will see how it goes. :(

Yeah, my lowest year (freshman) was 3.1, I think...and my best 2 years were 3.8, as well, so we're pretty close. What's your MCAT? I've got a 32T, so while it's not earth-shattering, I doubt I need to retake (and I don't think I'd score much higher, anyway....and 32 vs. 33 won't make a difference).

Oh, will U of C let us know our pre-interview score? Do they let us know the breakdown by section, too, so we know what exactly is to blame for the low overall?

Yeah, I'll be doing a master's, too, if I don't get into Queen's or U of A. I don't mind it, though, the lab is nice, and my supervisor is pretty cool, and I'm interested in the topic. Money is my only concern.

Ye they will let us know the overall breakdown by March 11. I think maybe one of my references wasn't as great as it could be? I really don't know where I fell short. I think it was my second year GPA.

Hi Jochi,

My MCAT was 26R (Horrible I know) For GPA my best two years was 3.93, overall 3.85. My extracirriculars are pretty good (i.e. thousands of volunteer hours in various areas, president of a campus association etc..)

 

I guess my academic record saved me so I am grateful for that!

Also got an interview. IP, fourth year of my degree. Im glad the Calgary interviews are before U of A, gives me a chance to see what an MMI is like since U of A used a different format last year.

 

Oh, is U of A MMI this year, too?

 

I was just thinking "At least the Calgary rejection means I don't have to worry about MMI this year..." LOL.
