panda__eyes Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Does anyone kind of know how much preference is given to people in 4th years and grad students (as opposed to 3rd years)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cling Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Still nothing, but I don't meet the 3.85 cutoff I wonder if the cutoff went down by 0.01 or 0.02. Who knows... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainman Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 honestly... i dont know how i could improve my ABS... awards, research, volunteering, numerous extracurricular activities... this is killer.perhaps they dont like 3rd years? I'm 3rd year too. Rejected for the same reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP10 Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 I would'nt think just because we've not heard anything an interview is coming....not many ppl have even gotten rejections yet.

silvermen85 Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 I'm 3rd year too. Rejected for the same reason. I'm thinking the opposite. Perhaps UofO doesn't like people with grad degree? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imagine Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 I'm thinking the opposite. Perhaps UofO doesn't like people with grad degree? lol I think they LOVE grad students and HATE 3rd years. (A lot of my friends who applied last year with killer ABS and stats (IMO) didn't get ANY invites, only a couple with ~4.0s got interviewed).

2009MD Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 What exactly are they looking for in the Autobiographical Sketch?!!! I've done research, volunteering, extracurricular activities, gone abroad...but still got a rejection (although I did get interview invites from Western and Queen's). Is it because I'm not from the Ottawa region, and don't speak French?!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(A lot of my friends who applied last year with killer ABS and stats (IMO) didn't get ANY invites, only a couple with ~4.0s got interviewed). Well all of my grad buddies who applied to UofO didn't get interview invites, even though they all got into better medical schools else where.

Is it because I'm not from the Ottawa region, and don't speak French?!! Honestly, the only people I know who have gotten into UofO are either 1) From Ottawa and/or region 2) Speak French 3) MSc students in Psychology with ridiculous psych clinical experience, publications and retardedly high marks (all from Mac) Don't feel too bad... UofO is probably the hardest to get accepted in for Ontario, or atleast thats what I've heard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Got rejected. Made the GPA, not the ABS. What angers me is the fact they don't tell you what was missing in your sketch. So there's no way of knowing how to improve on whatever it is that you were missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilSarah Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 I spoke to someone from the committee and she told me that she doesn't give high marks for international volunteering because she considers it as a vacation. She suggested I volunteer in my community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrKTBare Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 uh yeah... for grad students who were wondering if they were "flexible" on the whole maintaining an 85... I have an 83 in grad school and a 3.88 in undergrad and I just got the boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
