deathvvv Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 Not sure on the policy of accepting people who had previously enrolled in medical schools. But your GPA is good. Assuming you have a 10 or higher in each section. You have a decent chance from mcmaster, Western (11 VR), queens, u of t (maybe). Your chances for american schools (low tiers) is also decent, provided you have a good extra curricular, LOR and apply early Hi everyoneI appreciate any comment about my situation and the likelihood of getting any offer of admission.

My MCAT breakdown was 12,6,12 Is just one year enough for schools to judge my applicationÉÉ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slashsev Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 Your 6 will be red flagged even for DO schools I'd try to rewrite mcat to at leastttt an 8 I think u got less than 50% chance of acceptance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deathvvv Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 You need a 9 minimum for ontario schools, and even then u may have a slight chance at U of T. To have a solid chance at Ontario schools, you need a 11 in VR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chd2011 Posted May 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 Well I've heard from many students that ontario schools care more about gpa than mcat. I can improve the mcat but the down side is that i can't do anything regarding my gpa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathvvv Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 I would say. If you pull your MCAT to acceptable scores 30+ (10+) in verbal, your GPA would not be the deciding factor thats going to get you rejected. If you apply with those stats to both Canada and US schools. I would be very surprised if you don't get in at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slashsev Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 none of us work at admissions an arbitrary number should not determine if you apply or not....we dont know what schools look at.. we just guess based on number with that being said..i think you have a 4.523^2.3 % chance of acceptance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
