Essence Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 Hey, I just recently wrote my mcat and was just wondering about the trend for verbal cut offs at western. Has it been consistently around 11? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Applemanv3 Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 Last two cycles, the cutoff for VR has been 11. Prior to the 2010 entry year, the cutoff was a 10. I would assume it will be 11 this year since this seems to be what they've used the last two years, which is ever since the CBT version of the MCAT started producing hundreds of multiple-time-MCAT-takers. But, as usual, until Jan. 2012, we will not know what the cutoff is officially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shikimate Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 My guy feeling is it will stay at 11, unless a major shift in the applicant pool or admission policy occurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweet star Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 Hey, I was just wondering what are the chances of getting into UWO med if you did your undergrad at UWO but your MCAT is really low - like 20R? GPA is around 3.5. Would it be a waste to apply? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GPA is around 3.5. Would it be a waste to apply? UWO is the most number-specific in terms of having a chance at an interview. Although the cutoffs may change, nowadays in general, you are safest with 3.75+ in each of your two best 2 years of undergrad (ensuring each of them also meets the 60%/40% course level rule and a full courseload). As for MCAT, you are at the moment safest with 11VR, 10+ BS and 9+ PS. Does this fit your situation? If yes, apply. If you are way below, then you must upgrade your numbers.

Unfortunately it does not matter in Canada where you did you undergrad, and like the previous poster said, 20R is way below the cutoffs (even for SWOMEN you need an overall of 30). GPA wise 3.7 for 2 years is bare minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming you walked into your MCAT without studying at all to get a 20R. Take a prep course and work your ass off if you're not a science major to hit 30+ MCAT. You have to be realistic about your future - look into other options such as schools outside Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
