Quite good actually with that balanced MCAT (meets all cutoffs I think) and great GPA. Should score some interviews for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenocideGeneral Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 Can;t apply to Calgary as an OOP with a VR of 9, need atleast an 11. he's from edmonton..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should score some interviews for sure. If it helps my wGPA for UofT is 4.0 and my wGPA for Ottawa is 3.92 as well ( I know this makes me a bit of a long shot) and I am also bilingual which apparently helps at Ottawa correct? Do I stand a chance of an interview at UofT considering I don't have any research? Note that I have spent a fair amount of time on the essays and think they have come out quite well.

future_doc Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 Thanks for your reply! But I'm a bit concerned about my OOP status for those school, and schools like McGill are probably out of the question.. No. ........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acura Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 I was wondering if you could tell me what my chances are for UWO and Queens applying this year from your perspective. GPA: 3.95 in my best two years MCAT: 39 ECs: tutored for 3 years at a tutoring center, coached incoming students at university, worked as a student ambassador, taken some research courses, researched in a lab over a summer full time, joined the military part-time for the last two years, was president of a student club at university, volunteered a 6 years at a local hospital, volunteered in Tanzania for a month, volunteered at a suicide help line for a few years, volunteered at a stroke centre for a few years, part of a business club in first year as an executive, and multiple course awards and scholarships in my last two years in university - basically I feel incomplete because I have not researched as much as other applicants (1 summer full time and part time throughout 4th year) and I have never been published What do you guys think?

future_doc Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 ^ Decent in this lottery where there are no guarantees. Hobbies help show who you are. Good luck! Acura: In undergrad. I never did research - only did research and was published fairly recently in med school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decentcigars Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 just got those mcats back: cGPA (OMSAS conversions): 3.95 MCAT: 12/11/14 -> 37 extras: volunteered in a research lab January-may and continuing that now, and also worked there (paid) the summer. I won this award where Im basically a TA next semester. Besides that just some high school stuff (prefect, sports, awards) and work. Planning to apply to Ottawa, Queens, U of T and Mac since I am still in 3rd year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justwondering999 Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Being a research less applicant (stats on last page) do i have any shot at an interview at UofT? Please be realistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justwondering999 Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 You have a 4.0. I wouldn't be that stressed. Just seems that they really stress research, which obviously I have zero of. Just felt like I'd ask. Thanks for the response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nem90 Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 i'd keep manitoba in mind for next year (if necessary). i *think* they require a 4-yr degree. could be wrong though. They require a bachelor's degree - although that could be a 3 year degree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrinterPaper Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 I’m primarily interested in applying to Ontario schools: Ontario resident Starting my 3rd year UG GPA: 4.00 MCAT: 14/9/15 --> 38 ECs: Average Ideally I’d like to have a shot at Queens and McMaster. My main concern here is that 9 in VR, which is shockingly problematic. Does the strong composite score or the GPA compensate in any way? Seems like without a 10VR in Ontario, you’re in a pretty tough spot. Side note: on all AAMC practice tests, I usually got 11VR, sometimes 10, but never 9. Other practice tests (EK, TPR, Kaplan) I typically ranged from 9-11VR, so I can do better. Is it really worth rewriting with a 38 though? Is the 9 that bad? I'm not applying this year, which is why I'm asking about the rewrite (otherwise, yes, I'd be applying anyways with these stats to see what happens).
