kalia Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 january20, I think you have a shot at Queen's. Queen's MCAT cutoffs have been fluctuating lately, and so perhaps they might revert to the 10, 10, 10P cutoffs they had previously, in which case you'll make it. Also, if I were you, I wouldn't rewrite. I would apply to the States b/c with that MCAT score, I guarantee you'll get an interview somewhere.

I was thinking the same re:US but I honestly think there would be major $$$ problems if I tried that. Thanks for the info about Queen's though, that really makes me feel a bit better (I know I shouldn't rely on scores dropping but its nice to know I'm not totally out of line). Anyone know if they can decrease your mark on the WS rescore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAS Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 they can, but I doubt it I had mine rescored from my May 10 test (got an M) and it went up to an O I'm sure it could go down, but with lower end scores (I got P this time), it might just go up! btw, I'm in the same boat as you about applying to the US schools... I'm really on the fence about them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamP Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 lolz eff, first write ps/vr/bs: 10/10/9Q exactly what I predicted though, i'm pretty weak with the bio knowledge being from eng unless either the swomen cutoffs go to a 29 combined or queens goes to a q, which is massively unlikely i'll be re-doing this next summer, wrote after second year though so i still have time ahead of me. it's hilarious to me know, a balanced double digits could have only been one bio multiple away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cas1234 Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 I got my scores but I need some advice on which schools to apply to since its not very balanced. PS 14 VR 10 WS O (I know, this is really low) BS 13 37O Will the WS really affect me? I know I cant apply to Queens, what about U of C? Any other schools have strict MCAT cut offs? I am really disappointed with this O, any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am really disappointed with this O, any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks I'm in a very similar position as you: PS 15 VR 11 BS 11 WS P (37P). Not having a Q or better in WS makes Western (unless you're SWOMEN) and Queen's unlikely. UofT should be fine though. I'm a bit disappointed by the WS...just 1 point off from having a really good MCAT. Oh well, I'm ecstatic with the numerical part...c'est la vie.

reverse_transcriptase Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 ahh crap i knew PS was gonna rock me 9 PS 10 VR 11 BS 30Q overall is a balanced 30 alright for the ontario schools, kinda worried about the queens R cutoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devang1987 Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Master's student in engineering. Undergrad in engineering. Undergrad GPA around 3.62. MCAT Last year August 2008 VR: 8 PS: 13 BS: 11 WS: Q C: 32Q Was an okay score. I thought I could do better so wrote again this year but... MCAT August 2009 VR: 9 PS: 11 BS: 13 WS: O C: 33O I am satisfied with 9 in VR. I think that's pretty much my standard. But PS is supposed to be my strength. Also, I wrote the writing section in the same way as last time but it's not that important and I think O is okay..... Does this count as an improved score? I went up in VR/BS but went down in PS/WS. Composite is up by 1. I don't really feel like writing it one more time.... I am going to apply to US primarily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would be beating their GPA for graduate students and your MCAT is good. UoT likes research so your Masters should really help you out there. Are you SWOMEN? for UWO you would also be beating the cutoffs as well. How did you calculated your undergraduate GPA? UWO calculates it differently as it only takes your 5 best scores and drops the rest - since you are in engineering, you would be allowed to drop quite a few courses per year (look into this) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not SWOMEN and I think my WS/VR prevent me from applying to UWO/Queens. Btw, that's the first time I am hearing about a university that treats Engineers in a different way.......

Addy K Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 Its not that you get treated differently, its just generally engineers, especially you N Sci people, take more than 5 courses per semester and since only your top 5 will count, your others will be dropped... Oh and I am eagerly waiting for my Sept 12 results as Aug 9 was a bust as expected :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first I thought, best 5 per year....but that's too good to be true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HBP Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 I just found that comment (which was obviously directed at me) extremely rude. I wasn't even asking for your opinion on something, so if you have nothing nice to say, why go out of your way to make someone feel like ****? You're joking right? You didn't see my post actually quoted someone else... someone who was also NOT making fun of you. The world doesn't revolve around you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
always_panicked Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Hey.... No, my comment was directed at 1234. Not at you. I meant to just reply to that general thread, not at you. And no, I don't think the world revolves around me whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
