cleanup Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 I think the RC cut-off last year was 19... someone correct me if I'm wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phy241 Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 I think it was 18, it has stayed there for at least the past 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sttuy Posted February 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 it was 18 i think....i checked. do you think i have a chance? do they select ppl for the interview based on best two years + rc or best two years + rc + aa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lacoocoo Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 The cut off was 18. To get an interview they look at your grades and RC (not aa..that's for later). From reading on the forum, I think I have heard the following... The RC probably will not go up since you must have an undergrad degree now (or finishing one). This means that there will probably be a smaller applicant pool and therefore less RC competition. Also from what I read, I think you still have a chance at an interview.

zap_man99 Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 imo no you dont. if you do get an interview you will need a near perfect score to get in. your GPA is too low (same with your AA). People with 90s and 21AA got rejected you do meet the RC cutoff though Sorry to be blunt. But also since there are new requirements (need to graduate) it might change this year. So who knows.

reddishh Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 u do meet the cutoff for GPA and RC but I think your grade isn't competitive which is worth 60% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zap_man99 Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 in my honest opinion i dont think you will. but crazier things have happened. and especially with the changes in their admissions process you might have a better chance. (not really sure how many offers they used give out to 2nd and 3rd years) EDIT: here are the WL/acceptance threads from last year http://www.premed101.com/forums/showthread.php?t=53581&highlight=UWO+interview just WL http://www.premed101.com/forums/showthread.php?t=53572&highlight=UWO+interview found 1 person with an 86.6 and AA 20 that got an interview so maybe you have a chance?

CDNgeek Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 The WL thread makes me feel really depressed.... am I the only one in this boat? Hahaha. Thanks for the links though!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamIDP Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Sorry to interupt, but how do you calculate your GPA --> %? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zap_man99 Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 http://www.ouac.on.ca/docs/omsas/c_omsas_b.pdf use the midpoint of your school if you have a GPA and not % (calculate all years cause my 3.7 for U of A was actually better or very close than my 3.9 due to all my A+s and the fact i got 3 Bs in first year) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddishh Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Do you guys think it will hit 90% this year?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phy241 Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 I think you might be able get an interview provided they do not change the RC cut-off. Last year, I read one of my friends rejection email and it said that the GPA cut-off was about 84.6% or something along those lines. The GPA cutoff tends to vary depending on the competitiveness of the applicant pool, so I think it's just a matter of chance at the moment. I know it's easier said then done, but just stop thinking about it for now. You know the facts from last year now, just hope that the cutoffs are similar to last year:) it was 18 i think....i checked. do you think i have a chance? do they select ppl for the interview based on best two years + rc or best two years + rc + aa?

You know the facts from last year now, just hope that the cutoffs are similar to last year:) I imagine the GPA cut-off might fall a bit, since they no longer allow 3rd years to apply. Most of those applicants were high-achieving applicants who had high marks in their first two years of undergrad, and a healthy number of them were accepted to previous classes. Also since they didn't get the "bonus points" or whatever for having a degree by the time they matriculate, they probably had rather high grades to begin with. IMO third year applicants were probably on the higher range of grade achievement, so I think the cut-off might fall a tiny bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phy241 Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Yup, I completely agree with you. Most students who got in with high grades were 3rd year students, and I'm pretty sure they would want to interview ~250 candidates again, so I wouldn't be surprised if it drops down by a bit, like you suggested. On another note, how are the US schools treating you? I think the last time we spoke you had just interviewed somewhere, any good news?

I got accepted at all 3 schools I interviewed at, and ended up skipping out on my USC interview because it was too far, and the school was too expensive anyways. I just need to decide between NYU and Case at the moment. How about you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aravis Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 YES, trust me, you do have a chance. It may be borderline and you will have to do amazing on the interview for a good chance of acceptance. For anyone else who's wondering, an 85 average and RC 18 are pretty much the minimum stats you needed to get an interview for UWO. go study for dental anatomy and cardio, zap.

phy241 Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Hey congrats man, you must be relieved! I ended up getting into Penn a few days after I interviewed in January, so I withdrew my app from other schools and turned down my NYU interview as well. This application cycle put a hole in my pocket, so I was too cheap to spend more money to go down to NY. Good luck with Canadian schools!
