medaw Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 I have read the forums for a while, any helpful opinions are appreciated. My current situation: Written MCAT twice: VR PS WS BS 10 11 N 13 34N 09 13 Q 12 34Q Current Grad Student cGPA : 3.72 gradGPA: 4.0 ECs/LORs/Research all standard Should I: 1. rewrite to get a 34+ balanced with QRST (I've gotten QRST before so I presume its not impossible) for Canada to "look at me". 2. forget about it and apply US (do I have a shot? with the N?)

Depends if YOU want Canada. 2. Depends if YOU want the US over Canada. Writing sample in the US is not critical, but make sure you have clinical experience before you apply. Your GPA as 34's should be good to apply with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannie22 Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 your 34N looks much better than 34Q. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hackintosh Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 Rewrite then apply to both Canada and US. I don't think the rewrites will hurt you in the US since you've consistently gotten 34 (which is a very good score). If you can get a decent WS score and keep your verbal above 9, you have guaranteed interview at UWO (i believe). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hackintosh Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 Verbal at UWO was a cutoff of 11 this year WOW, looks like they are really determined to keep normal people out of medical school. To the OP. If you apply to the states with your current MCATs you will be fine. You look like you have a solid UG GPA and grad work will also make you look good. Just make sure you write excellent statements and apply early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GGGSaint Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 Don't mean to hijack the thread guys, just quick question about the OP's re-write with the same overall score: So you are not penalized for re-writing and achieving the same/similar overall score in the US? I thought this was a no-no in the States. Asking because I am in the same boat, rewriting an unbalanced 33. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
