PCC Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 umm how can the admission cutoff be lower than the waitlist cutoff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KamG Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 umm how can the admission cutoff be lower than the waitlist cutoff? yea especially since there are people on the waitlist that never came off, like me. wtf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typical Premed Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Maybe the waitlist cutoff was to divide those who got accepted on May 15 and those who got waitlisted. Then the admissions cutoff was the lowest possible score of someone who eventually got accepted (including accepted off the waitlist). So the admissions cutoff is lower than the waitlist cutoff since they had to send offers to people with lower scores as people declined their spots. It would also make sense that the OOP admissions cutoff is lower than the IP cutoff since they had to go relatively deeper into the waitlist to fill the OOP spots compared to the IP spots.

PCC Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 but some of us on the waitlist didnt get an offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibson303 Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 They must have screwed up the numbers, it doesn't make any sense. Considering if you got a score below the waitlist cut-off you would have been rejected out-right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostLamb Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 It isn't clear to me either what the newly posted cut offs mean. Does anyone from the waitlist have access to their actual score yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apache Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 it could be that the waitlisted cut off is the line between accepted and top person waitlisted, that makes a lot more sense since the waitlist cutoff was ridiculously high Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmy Posted July 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 yeah i think your right. did anyone ip get higher than 66.31 and not receive offer. or oop higher than 63.65 and not receive offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeComet Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 My pre-interview score is up but my post interview score is not. Does anyone else have this too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typical Premed Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 I was invited for interview but didn't get in off the waitlist. When I login in to the application it says I have been rejected for interview and only lists my pre-interview scores, not my post-interview scores. Does anyone know what the deal is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostLamb Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 I also see the message that I had been rejected for interview, despite having been interviewed AND waitlisted. I wonder why they did not post the MMI scores? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeComet Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 It is what it is, Pre-interview score. They will probibly have our Interview scores up in the next few days. It's likely they don't have a "you were interviewed but rejected off the waitlist" notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicMB Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Woah this is confusing. I've been accepted to U of C, yet it still says "You have been rejected for interview." I hope I'm on the list come Wednesday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibson303 Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Yeah definitely something wrong with the entire thing. First of all, it makes no sense to state what the score for the top person's waitlist is, it really doesn't indicate anything. I wonder if they screwed up the waitlist score and the admission score? But then again the waitlist score was around for a bit and people have been getting off the waitlist since then. Also, when I logged in, it also said "You were rejected for the interview". Definitely must be an error, as I was accepted into Calgary as well. So lol they obviously did something wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamer Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Same here regarding the "you have been rejected for interview" business. Interestingly enough, my score dropped 3 points pre-interview from last year despite an improved GPA with more years of study and improved EC's A+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apache Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Transcripts(50): 37.94 MCAT(15): 11 Extracurricular/Employment(25): 16 Reference(10): 4.75 Total(100): 69.6875 wow, one of refs was a big douche, the idiot wrote his reference like an hour before it was due, after i worked for him for a year, lol... i'm pretty sure this is my pre-interview score anyways it's weird too, because my mcat should have been 12... oh well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostLamb Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 I was not sure about my MCAT either until I realized how they calculate the score. I thought that you looked up your mcat score, got a value off the chart, and added or subtracted your WS score from that. However...you are supposed to look up your score, add or subtract your WS score, and then refer to the chart again for your final score. At least, that is what I inferred from their examples in the applicant manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LostLamb Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Looks like all our above questions have been answered. Cut and pasted from UofC website for future reference, should it be removed in the future: Scores will be available online until Sept 1st, after which time, the old online application system will be taken offline. CUTOFF SCORES Cutoff Score for invitation to MMI: Albertan - 68.4374 / Non-Albertan - 74.5626 i.e. this is the lowest pre-MMI score of applicants offered an interview. Post-MMI Cutoff Score for Admission on May 15: Albertan - 69.86 / Non-Albertan - 72.98 i.e. This is the lowest total score for applicants offered an admission on May 15th. Post-MMI Cutoff Score for Placement on the Waitlist on May 15: Albertan - 63.305 / Non-Albertan - 63.65 i.e. This is the lowest score for applicants placed on the waitlist on May 15th. Cutoff Score for Admission 2008/09: Albertan - 66.31 Cutoff Score for Admission 2008/09: Non-Albertan - 63.65 i.e. This was the lowest score of an applicant admitted to the class of 2012.

Typical Premed Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 So it looks like they went through the entire waitlist for OOP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
