markov79 Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Not gonna lie, hope verbal goes down to 10 and the other cutoffs go to 12/12/S. GPA goes up to 3.85 Fat chance eh hahaha. i actually wonder how many interviews they'd hold in that case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leon Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 I think the cut offs will be identical to last year (which disqualifies me, lol). I doubt there's reason to increase and certainly minimal reason to decrease anything given that the applicant pool typically gets more competitive with every passing year. Still, hope for the sake of hope's good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benge88 Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 I really really hope they stay the same.... It would justify my choice of not applying last year in the middle of my masters, because I made the cutoffs last year.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the same sentiment xD Although, it would be nice for the other applicants if it went down But for my own sanity...I hope they stay the same. Otherwise I'll have to punch myself.

DeeDoc Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Any thoughts on the SWOMEN requirements? You know, some of us are SWOMEN applicants? SWOMEN cutoffs will probably still stay at the minimum 8-8-8 but overall 30, and the GPA will be whatever the non-SWOMEN GPA is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GPA goes up to 3.85 Fat chance eh ouch well I guess actually if the system at Schulich works the way it is often suppposed on here you don't want that to happen - the cut is designed to select about 450 people for interview. In your senario you just have a situation where everyone interviewed looks on paper MCAT and GPA more similar to you. What you really want is the cut offs to lower somehow, so you look compariatively better on paper. If a lower cut off would work then that means the total applicant pool is full of in theory weaker students and your chances just went up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmorelan Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 rmorelan, everytime it says you are the most recent post in this thread, my heart skips a few systoles so much for a "calming influence" on the forum Unfortunately I cannot give a direct answer to when they will come out. I hate to repeat the annoying "soon" description. Still all signs do point to it not being much longer. Also our first interview weekend is coming up on 5 weeks away, and I know we are gearing up in every way we can. It is going to be fun meeting all you in person again this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gremlin Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Yeah, it'll be really really soon... I applied for UWO's MD/PhD program this year and got my reject letter today.

DeeDoc Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 drat! rejection from which side of things? I assume that it was the grad school portion? I would guess that he/she still in the running for the MD portion of the gig? I wonder what his MCAT scores and GPA were... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a lower cut off would work then that means the total applicant pool is full of in theory weaker students and your chances just went up Ah but in my little world, that cutoff would really cut down on interview spots (especially that S), and give me a better shot! I was actually thinking last night, and for a lot of us, (not) getting an interview boils down to approx 2-3 incorrect circles filled in on a single test test (assuming the VR remains at 11). It's kind of funny/tragic. But I guess that's the same with all hard MCAT cutoffs. Never thought of it that way before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't benefit from the SWOMEN status I have... I make or exceed the cutoffs without the SWOMEN to help me out. I know a few people that the SWOMEN status has been their saving grace though...

You can take that one step further, a difference of 2-3 circles during a few crucial minutes can decide your entire career! A good thing everyone here has already written the mcat... not to add additional stress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Second Daniel Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Just slightly off topic: Does anyone have any information about the conditional acceptances? The situation where you have to maintain a 3.7 in your final year, when/why does this apply for UWO? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The situation where you have to maintain a 3.7 in your final year, when/why does this apply for UWO? I think this only applies if only one of your undergrad years so far meets the 3.7 cut off. Not too sure though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Applemanv3 Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Ok people, let's get things moving. Let's do some serious joint positive ESP emissions towards UWO and see if the admissions Gods pick them up and respond. Probably too late for today, but tomorrow would be sweet!
