nemesis Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 FYI Heard through the grapevine. Just over 500 interviews this year and no writing assignment at the interview. +1 I believe this number. Given the VR=10+WS=R cutoff, it seems very unlikely that Queen's is interviewing ~800 applicants. As far as the on-site writing sample, that doesn't surprise me either.

sfinch Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 first MCAt - Aug 25, 2009. VR - 09, BS - 11, PS - 14, RSecond MCAT - Sept 3, 2009. VR - 11, BS - 13, PS - 11, Q These tests were taken 8 days apart. Look at the variability of this standardized test. Talk about a tough go - missed cuts by 1 pt on each exam. Pretty ticked about the WS score as well.....alot of weight on one single subjective component. I'm also a grad student so hopefully this quashed the talk about any leniency for grads. In the stats thread, I saw other grads who were cut just for the Q. Well your first score would have got you neither uwo or queens, but the second got you uwo. That's not bad. Good luck.

Good luck. thanks. but my gpa kept me out of UWO so couldn't apply (that's why Queens was big for me - graduate review). Sv3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 thanks. but my gpa kept me out of UWO so couldn't apply (that's why Queens was big for me - graduate review). Sv3 Did you ever think abut having your WS regraded? For $50, I'd do it. Even if the probability is low that your grade will change, it would mean all the difference in the world.

I did challenge the Q...I had a bad feeling it would be R this year....but alas, it stayed at Q. Unfortunately I missed by one point on both my MCATs. I have a feeling Queens will keep the R next year too but i won't re-write the MCAT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delusionofreality Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 no written interview? cool. 500 appllicatns would be a significant imporvement to the over 700 last year (what was the point in even going to that last year, except you cant' not go since you got one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemesis Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 So a 3.69 cGPA makes the cut then. Wonder what chance I have with a 3.62 OP didn't post their Queen's (last two-year) GPA, so that may have been factored into interview offer, not necessarily the OMSAS GPA. Although, a cGPA=3.69 may indeed meet the cGPA cutoff at Queen's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thatonekid Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 I don't know if its been officially released, but expect ~500 interviews this year at Queen's.Yup. We're also basing this number off of the interview cycle 2 years ago when the cutoff was also R and there were approx 500 students who were interviewed.

nemesis Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Do we know for sure if the written component of the interview has been omitted or not? There is NO on-site writing sample during interviews for 2010 entry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MansionMD Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Has someone called and asked their office? I can't seem to find confirmation of that on their website. If someone is going to call, can they double check how many ppl will be interviewed this year too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m1428 Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Got an Interview!cGPA = 3.69 MCAT = 14PS/10VS/11BS/S Undergrad 3rd year Does this latest post in the stats thread lower the assumed 2-year GPA cutoff to 3.69? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supafield Posted January 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Does this latest post in the stats thread lower the assumed 2-year GPA cutoff to 3.69? I would have guessed a 3rd year's application counted as cGPA even if it was only 2 years. I'm not really sure though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
