HBP Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 It'll be in the manual this year, it might change. Look on the website in late June/early July I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MGB Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 That formula is for the rank list pre-interview for OOP applicants. Top grouping from the use of that formula then gets a full file review. For IP, pre-interview was distributed as: 50% Academic Score 15% MCAT 25% Activities Score 10% References Seems like they are changing the manual for the upcoming year though, so this distribution may change.

NinjaTurtle Posted June 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 ahh i see, the OPPformula is probably the one i saw lying around, but I'm IP so its not as important. But do they give scores anyway? or is it 50 * (GPA/4) + ref score + EC score+ mcat score ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure the academic score is not just GPA/4, as there seems to be some variability in scores i've seen... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGB Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 This is from Dr. Walker's blog earlier in the year: Several people have contacted us either through here or by email wondering how the academic score is calculated. It is no secret to say that there is more to the academic score than a simple reflection of GPA. Certainly GPA is part of it, but reviewers also look at the entire academic record to make an assessment of the overall academic strength and suitability of applicants. I can’t really give any more details than that, but yes, there is a subjective component. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's more looking at the trend of your grades throughout the years in university and what kind of courses you have taken, etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably has to do with trends, course difficulty, course load, graduate work, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
