CarpeDiem:) Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 My OMSAS CGPA is 3.52... although the absolute cut-off is ~3.0, I think the entrance avg was ~3.75 last year... so GPA's obviously a bit low. I'm writing my MCAT in 2 days and have been getting ~9 in VR on the practice tests... last year's entrace avg was 10.6 or something like that, so my score is low there too... do I have any chance of even getting an interview with a 3.52 and a 9?

Comeon Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 This is no time to doubt yourself, my friend. Think about stats. and averages after you are done your MCAT. In the meantime, relax and just be cool - it ain't that hard. I had a 9 on my last practice test before my MCAT and averaged a 9 or so on VR. I scored an 11 on the real thing because of a "what's the worst thing that can happen/carpe diem" mentality that I built up in my 40 min car ride to the test center. The power of a perfect VR score is within you - run free and unleash it.

cokezero Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 If you meet the cutoffs at the school for VR and GPA (which you do for mac), then of course you have a chance of admission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diceroll2011 Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 do I have any chance of even getting an interview with a 3.52 and a 9? Id say your chances are very very low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w_robin Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Id say your chances are very very low. Because of the new 1/3 weighting formula; I would agree with this post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justifyd Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 What about a 3.94~3.95 9vr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w_robin Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 What about a 3.94~3.95 9vr. Other places such as U of T might value you more; but I would say you've got a good chance of getting an interview if you perform above average on CASPer.

aryastark Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 I got in with a 3.63, and a 9VR. But that was this year with casper counting for more, and I'm sure the masters did a lot for me as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
