traumahawk Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 I think you have to bring your MCAT up above 30. It's worth applying though, but make plans to rewrite the MCAT early next year. Keep your GPA up, and don't stop the EC's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nunes Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 I second trauma. GPA looks OK at face value, but that MCAT definitely needs improvement. I would be interested to know if you get an interview with it. Good luck. AJN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmaghd Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 You should definitely improve on your MCAT; although, if I am not mistaken, I do recall someone receiving an interview with a 29 MCAT. You should check the interview forum for the past cycle. A more secure option, as was mentioned by the above posters, is to raise your MCAT by a few points, to at least a 30.

nightsky Posted August 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 yes i also think and know that my mcat score is not doing me any favor. i will definately re-write mcat next summer. i was just wondering if i should even bother applying this year with those scores... if there is NO WAY that i can get interview with 26N... i guess there is no point in applying at all?

Wut? Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 You can always apply and try your chances, if you think of the application fee as an investment of sorts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addy K Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 I personally know someone who got an interview with a 3.8 GPA and 9-8-9 R (26R) MCAT from Ontario. She was in her Master's though, but that should give you some hope! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nunes Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 I've been informed that Wayne Gretzky also said that "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take." I am approx. 98% hockey-ignorant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpicyNoodles Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 I've sent my transcript to the admissions office a month ago and there still isn't a GPA calculation showing up in my application..is this normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it generally won't show until a few days (possibly even 2 weeks or so) after the application deadline, although on occasion they might process it earlier.

To my knowledge this is the GPA scale they use: 87-100: 4.0; 86: 3.9; 83-85: 3.8; 82: 3.7; 81: 3.6; 80: 3.5 - can anyone verify this? Also, if you've graduated your lowest year GPA is dropped (assuming it's not your last). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, if you've graduated your lowest year GPA is dropped (assuming it's not your last). You have to contact the registrar (not admissions) about GPA conversions. I actually had a talk with them about maybe putting up conversion tables online, but apparently they've tried it in the past and it didn't work out very well for a variety of reasons.
