I've read that if you have 2 full years > 3.7, then you're pretty much guaranteed an interview.

Now, what if you have just one full year > 3.7? Are you just as likely to get an interview as those with two or more years > 3.7?

 

*btw i know guaranteeds is not a real word*

1 year >3.7 + whatever the heck the mcat cutoff is = 100% interview :P

 

after that, no promises

 

Actually, not even :)

 

The school in their fine print reserves the right not to invite an applicant for an interview even if they meet the cut offs. I'm sure it doesn't happen often (or ever for that matter), but I guess it's there for those rare cases where the referee says something very negative.

for some reason the notion that that if you get one year GPA >3.7 and MCAT meets cut-offs you get an interview just seems incorrect. Do you realize how many interviews they would have to give out? Or does the cutoff (MCAT) change according to the applicant pool? I know last year it was BS-12, VR-10, PS-9 and Q. Can someone send me a link saying they will give you the interview. I remember reading "meeting cut-offs does not guarantee an interview" which is a clause common to almost all medical schools in Canada.

The mcat cutoff was 11,10,9 (not 12) and the site says 1 year at 3.7 and mcat cutoffs..... the statement saying meeting these requirements doesn't ensure an interview is a blanket statement for exceptional circumstances...

 

However, if you get an interview with one year at 3.7 and get accepted you have to have your current year of study over 3.7 so it requires 2 years at 3.7 to get in... but only 1 to get an interivew

 

The cutoffs fluctuate according to the applicant pool... but are relatively stable.... however this was the first year that a mark of 11 was required....

 

I think you're underestimating the difficulty in getting a 3.7 and a 30 on the mcat....

 

Just check out the schulich website
