master100 Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 I am thinking of applying to western in the next cycle. Is it true that Western offers an interview to everyone who has a gpa of >3.7 and mcat scores of 9PS, 11VR, 10BS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prof.A.DumbleDore Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 It can change every year year but yeah those were the cutoffs for an interview invite this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cclawfjj Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 the GPA cut-off was a 3.75 in some years MCAT BS cut-off was also a 11 in one odd year Now granted, these years seem to be outside of the norm, but you never know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markov79 Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 pretty much. pretty sure they tailor their cuts to have 450 interviews. you can prob bet that the vr cut will therefore stay the same, since it cuts out a bunch of people. the ps and bs might change. they've had O and P cut offs for ws in recent history (not sure if any Qs...?). and a 3.75 for the best two years. imo, 10/11/10/P (again, maybe Q, but i doubt it...?) and 3.75 in both best two years would probably guarantee you an interview as long as you don't have anything else wrong with your app. this year was 3.7 for best two years though. 3.75 is just essentially safe. feel free to correct. edit: the GPA cut-off was a 3.75 in some yearsMCAT BS cut-off was also a 11 in one odd year Now granted, these years seem to be outside of the norm, but you never know beat me to it. also note the older 11 (bs) that i missed.

job Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 Is it ever worth it to apply to Western with only a 10 in VR but but a 33S overall MCAT score and a 3.9 best 2 years GPA? Would having an MSc as well help with the VR cut off by any chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellorie Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 If you are SWOMEN there is some room in the MCAT requirement. And you could always try and apply just in case the VR cutoff is lower this year. But I don't think there's any wiggle room for non-SWOMEN applicants.

job Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 I'd imagine the odds of a VR cut off down to 10 is pretty much slim-to-none for non-SWOMEN then right? That's a bummer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's been pretty much held at 11 VR for last cycle and the one before, if I recall. Probably not going to change this year (it might, but it's highly unlikely).

Probably not going to change this year (it might, but it's highly unlikely). Yup - I think this is year 3 of a VR of 11. Things do change of course occasionally What will be interesting for all of us is when the MCAT changes relatively soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
