aclementine Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone know anything about this... My friend heard from the admissions office that people with the highest gpas are interviewed earlier in the week (Monday, Tuesday), and people with lower gpas are interviewed on Thursday and Friday. How true is this? Also, how does McGill decide who gets an interview, and who gets accepted? Is there a % breakdown of what MCAT, GPA, Essays, Reference Letters, and Interview is worth?

longwaydown Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Last year it was alphabetical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claire Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Last year it was alphabetical. In support of this possibility, my last name begins with an S and I am on Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psychopath Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 In support of this possibility, my last name begins with an S and I am on Thursday. Both my first name and last name begin with S and I am on Thursday as well. Coincidence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breakdown 40% academic+ecs 10% personal interview 50% MMI This is was given by the Admissions committee to OOP and int. students. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vihsadas Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 this is very very strange... are any of you doing interviews in French? there is no other explanation for why i am on friday... That seems like a good possibility why. "A" and on Monday, English. 30% GPA? ouch. I wish that MCAT was worth more than 10%. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THX Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Haha, looks like we all have different 'official' versions. I always thought this breakdown made the most sense: 50% MMI 10% 20 Minute Interview 10% MCAT 20% GPA 10% ECs/Letters/Essays But I don't know what it is. All we know is that the full interview is worth twice the amount as a regular station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mademadeit Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 i actually remembered it being mentioned at the presentation that the traditional interview station was ranked in the same category as your autobio, cv and references... ie: it's worth nothing - 10% (trad. interview, autobio, cv, refs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GewoW Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 when was this? drolet gave an informative lecture some time ago (4-5 months ago) that my friend recorded and i listened to the day before my interview... 20/10/20/50 she said. and I would think letter/ECs/Reports are part of the formal (20%) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh, I guess it doesn't matter now - it is what it is. I'm just hoping they drop our worst station, because I did do poorly on one (respectably+ on the others).

He further stated that the admissions committee could update their grading rubric however they wanted, and that nothing was set in stone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GewoW Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 yeah what drolet said was a few months ago...and so i would expect that it can change, especially all people did approximately equally well in the mmis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
