You must do well on Casper. ECs aren't technically a part of the pre-interview or post-interview formulae, but who knows. Gl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shin Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 if you get those two papers out, i think you might have a better chance at uoft. but that verbal hurts. would you wanna rewrite mcat? or do you think you're not really able to bring that 8VR up? if you don't feel up to bringing your verbal score up, then just kill CASPer.

JP2118 Posted September 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 I'm not going to write the MCAT, at least not for now. We'll see, maybe in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corneld Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 Hijack alert! Since we are on the topic, how does a 3.85 OMSAS GPA, and a 10VR stand as being an OOP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
future_doc Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 ^ depends upon application pool and Casper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmorelan Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 ^ depends upon application pool and Casper although with those stats I would be applying for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
future_doc Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 Hi all, just thought that I would get some feedback: My MCAT is VR8 In my view, this makes you uncompetitieve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newcanmeds2011 Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 For Mac, Casper and then the MMI are really the make or break. I would say that if you have over a 7+ in verbal you should apply because you never know. If you ace casper and then the interview and have a solid GPA, you could make it through.

dds2do Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 How does mac look at non traditional applicants. I was going to apply but got accepted to a US DO school which I will be attending. My Omsas was 3.56 (AACOMAS for DO was 3.76) and VR 9. DDS degree in 2002 - practicing dentistry for 10 years.

charmer08 Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 Regarding ECs, its the way you present them during the interview that matters... not what they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
