supafield Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Q is fine most likely, minus Queen's one year*. 10 in bio could be a problem at Western but fine for anywhere else*. * Based on recent years, this year could always be different. 34Q is a great score, congrats!

janny_jan Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 what's your gpa like? Nobody knows what McMaster's application cycle will be like this year with VR now in...if you have a lower GPA, your fantastic verbal score could help you out. congrats on the awesome score!

What're the odds of the PS score being bumped up past 10? Here's hoping the odds are a billion to one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HBP Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 I have the same score but I think my breakdown helps me out a bit more (except for mac) 13BS 11PS 10VR Q I'm not rewriting, though I may if I don't get in this year (for American schools) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're crazy! Or you didn't even try to get that 90th percentile score! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on what your were expecting to get. For many of us (me included!) your score would be accpetable and we wouldn't rewrite. But it you have the highest level of expectation (based on your ability) and you were shooting for maybe a 36+ then go back and rewrite. My standards are probably a little lower and I would accept your score with a smile. If you have a good GPA, you should be OK for most schools.

HPJ Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 debating whether or not to rewrite, i've already applied for this cycle to Queen's, Mac, and UofT. got 31R 11/10/R/10 only reason I would want to rewrite is to get an 11 in bio for western next year. i'm just wondering if/which schools in Canada will look at your most recent mcat as opposed to your best score. Depending on the schools, I'm not sure that I want to risk a rewrite (not to mention putting myself through another round of studying). Thanks!
