Soenuedo Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Hey guys, I would like to ask anyone who is familiar with Western's admission process as to what they usually prioritize in an application? I have heard that if you meet all the cut offs (all MCAT sections, GPA) then you will be guaranteed an interview, but not sure if this is in fact true. Also, how much are your extracurriculars (eg. volunteering, clubs, research, etc) taken into play here? Are they just mainly to judge character during the interview stage? Thanks a bunch, Soe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HBP Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Meeting GPA/MCAT = guaranteed interview. Interview is closed file. ECs are not assessed, but are likely very important to your interview score. Combination of Interview/GPA/MCAT to determine final ranking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soenuedo Posted March 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Thanks guys! Do you know if Western is 100% strict on their cut-offs? Their verbal section is a tad high... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, unless you are from the SWO region (I forget their exact definition of this, but you can find it on their web site) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
