Alastriss Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Sticky is for trolls, this is legit. OP, it really depends on you. How is your GPA and tell us a little about your ECs, that will definitely help us discern whether or not you should rewrite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamer Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 We need more info. What province are you from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astudentis Posted August 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 i have volunteered at the hospital for a few years, research experience, some other few volunteer activities here and there... and have been on a couple of societies executive ie treasurer, vice president and i have an almost perfect gpa i am from NB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamer Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Why the hell would you want to apply everywhere? What a waste of time and money. I wouldn't rewrite given your province. You should have no problems getting an interview/accepted to Dal, barring a bad interview. You won't get interviews at places with strict MCAT cutoffs though with that VR score (Queens, Western) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
register Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Sticky isn't just for trolls, it's for legit people too! Perhaps I should make a sequel flow chart titled: "Should I rewrite the MCAT" pretty easy to figure out. 1. what schools do you want to go to? 2. can you make those cutoffs? 3. what schools do you have left to consider? 4. with your mcat score can you make it into these schools? 5. do you want to go to these schools?

In_Valid Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Hello, I am wanting to apply to all canadian school. I wrote MCAT last summer (aug 07) and got 11P 9B 4V O = 24O I wrote again this year (July 8) and got 14P 13B 8V Q= 35Q Would it worth it to write again? If you want to apply to Ontario, yes. A score of 8 in VR precludes you from Western, Queen's and UofT. However, you might be able to get into Ottawa or Mac with an almost perfect GPA.

astudentis Posted August 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 so having a 12+ and 12+ in other sections give no credit towards the lower 8? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-Stark Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 I wouldn't bother rewriting - with a 35 you'd have no trouble at Dal, particularly since you're IP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astudentis Posted August 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 could u clarify what IP means? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astudentis Posted August 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 yea it is 24 with 8 8 8 but who has gotten in with 24..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdby2012 Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 I would never re-write with a score like that. you're more likely to go down than up. U of T only uses the MCAT as a flag. try for all the places in canada where you might have a shot (e.g. maybe not western or queens, but the requirements change year to year), and as a backup apply to the states as soon as possible. You could get into a great school like Northwestern, NYU, etc. and thats only if you don't get in at a canadian school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madz25 Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 yea it is 24 with 8 8 8but who has gotten in with 24..... actually, dal admits at least one student every year with a 24. you shouldn't have a problem at dal or memorial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astudentis Posted August 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 how would that 35Q (8V) hold up against some US schools? Like Albany, Boston, Michigan state, Upstate SUNY, Yale, UCLA, Hopkins, George Washington, Darthmouth, VCU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Law Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 I'd apply to the US with that score. It's highly competitive. I'd also apply everywhere. Your chances at Queen's and Western are slim, but they don't even have essays to write... so if money is not an issue, apply! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alastriss Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 Its pretty competitive I think. I don't know whether it would be more competitve than a balanced 34 (VR is most important section) but it is still competitive. Give your almost perfect GPA, which Im thinking is 3.9+, Don't rewrite.

Jamer Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 It's not a matter of being a bad score--a 35Q is great--it's the fact the OP got an 8 in VR which will almost guarentee him to not make cutoffs at Western and Queens, and potentially U of C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astudentis Posted August 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 .....no worries now, mcat isnt as important as you think, if you dont want to get into western or queens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1234 Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 u listed off all the top tier US schools - with an 8 in verbal, sorry to say you dont have a reasonable shot at those schools. I cant really give you much more information than that because I dont know whether your spoken english is any better than your reading/comprehension.

I cant really give you much more information than that because I dont know whether your spoken english is any better than your reading/comprehension. actually, you listed some mid-tier schools in there, so perhaps you have a chance. It all depends on your interview skills, financial resources and the specific school you are applying to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homm_town11 Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 I have a 31S, 8V, 11P, 12B I also have a cumulative 3.91, and best year average 3.93 I am from Ontario, 519 area code, want to get in to Western, applying to all ontario schools except northern Should I rewrite? the 8V is just at the cutoff Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamer Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 I don't know what that area code means--are you SWOMEN? If so you'll be fine with that GPA and shouldn't bother but if you aren't you're not going to get interviews at Queens or Western or U of T probably.
