3.7 Minimum Cut Off Rule for Western

[toastman]

I can believe it. We still have quite the shortage in London, and it's extremely worse in the rural areas of southwestern ontario.

Sometimes I forget how big Ontario is. I figure if it's in the South AT ALL it's got to be well-populated.

 

Guess I'll have to go live with rmorelan the next 4 years to maximize my chances:)

I can't believe Western has a NOSM-like policy about bringing in students to support an area in SOUTHERN Ontario. I mean this is where like all the people in Canada are? Way up North I can understand but what the hell does Western think their graduates are going to be guaranteed residencies in SWO or have a bevy of job opportunities there? Chances are no matter who they let in, they're going to end up somewhere else.

 

south western ontario - got to add that part

 

They don't have to guess. They track everything and they know where people do residency. I am sure they have a pretty good idea about where people go after that. A very large portion of my class wants to stay in this area - it is where their friend and family are.

 

The first thing I learned if whether you agree to disagree with a policy at a school know that whatever it is researched to death and analyzed by very smart people (you know, doctors ) If there is a rule best to understand it is there for a reason and go from there.

I am doing CARMS now - I don't know where I will be in 6 months

 

Wow - it really is 6 months. Actually a bit less now.

It's always nice seeing posts like this since if I get an interview it will be conditional and I'm non-swomen. I'm still excited for the interview though, even if nothing comes of it. It will be nice to actually take visible steps towards my goal.

 

Yeah you have to remember the schools have a large enough group to select from there is little point in having people with "no hope" going to interviews etc. It is just a waste of resources and time

What does he mean "conditional"?

What does he mean "conditional"?

 

since (s)he only has 1 year that meets the gpa cut off, if (s)he interviews this year and is subsequently accepted, being able to take the acceptance is contingent upon pb getting >3.7X gpa (whatever the cut off happens to be) this year
