mikee Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 Hello, I have question: I know that the cut-off is 34 r-score...but if someone has an overall of 36-37 in science courses...but not 34 overall. Do you think they are still going to look at his letters and CV? thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mchn2007 Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 depends how far off they are from 34... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMmd Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 how do you know your r-score for just your science courses?? the r score is given for all your courses every taken.... so they would consider that and not just the science courses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boo Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 Well, they probably still have a chance with an overall of 33.5+, but anything under there is pretty much not going to be considered. The faculty at McGill claims they look at everyone's autobiographical letters, CV and reference letters and that everyone has a chance. But, the same admissions people have said that anyone who hasn't taken a full course load during cegep and who doesn't have 33.5+ will pretty much be rejected unless you have a insanely impressive background Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aclementine Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 how hard is it to get 33.5 by the way? is it as hard as getting 3.7 in a GPA-type system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Symba Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 a little harder. I'd compare 33,5 to a 3,6gpa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedPen Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 It happens. The year I graduated, the girl who finished first out of the entire school and got the governor general's award did not get an interview. Unfair? Definitely. Avoidable? Impossible. McGill med is strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
