NRE Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Hello I am a 2010/2011 applicant and completed my interview this past Saturday, March 26/11 Wondering when and if the Autobiographical Submission is considered as part of the selection process?

Post interview the forumla is 70% Multiple Mini Interview Score, 15% Undergraduate Grade Point Average, 15% MCAT Verbal Reasoning Score. Hmmm. That's too bad. Mine took a long time to complete, it was twenty years worth or employment, volunteer and extra c experience. I'm surprised that this information is not at all considered as part of the admission decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NRE Posted March 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 You could have included the relevant parts of it in your interview. I remember trying to quickly refer to some of it as part of a couple of responses (i'm a social worker with 10 yrs of experience in my field) but it was a short amount of time and I didn't know that this was something they wanted included in my response. Good information for a future opportunity to interview though. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your submission, which was the 5 questions of 700 characters each, is not being included this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HBP Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 The submission was the "last back-up plan" in case of a failed CASPer (due to technical problems). I have no idea why McMaster wants the sketch every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MD-RN Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 don't they use the sketch and essay to decide who gets interviews in the first place?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeliciousMelon Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 From my understanding, that was in previous years. But this year, they've introduced CASPER, so essay is used as a backup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HBP Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 No, interviews are based on 25% VR, 25% cGPA, 46% CASPer, and 4% is bonus for grad degrees. Last year it was 32% VR, 32% cGPA, 32% Submission, 4% bonus. Sketch has not been used in the recent past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
