itsalwayssunny Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 I'm a bit confused about what kind of stats you would have to have in order to get an interview as an OOP applicant, so if anyone has any information on this it would be much appreciated. The formula is given as 2 x GPA + VR, but since both GPA and VR are given scores according to the mean and SD of all applicants, what is considered competitive (i.e. if you have a 3.6 GPA, would a 14 VR be enough to compensate or do both need to be high)? I realize this would vary with the applicant pool, but it would be nice to get some idea of what actual scores you need to have for a chance at an interview based on last year's stats. Thanks!

thehumanmacbook Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 http://premed101.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10466&page=38&highlight=OOP+Calgary If you look at this thread, most of the GPA OOP for both Waitlist/Accepted and corresponding VR scores are around 3.9-4.0 and > or = to 10 respectively. I'm not sure if this is indicative of all OOP applicants, but that seems to be the case for the PM101 sample. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blahblah Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 I would suggest listening to Dr. Walker's podcast on the admissions page. He mentions the lowest GPA to be granted full-file review and lowest verbal to be granted full-file review. He also mentions what GPA an OOP had to obtain for a respective verbal score. I don't remember the exact numbers so listen to the podcast! http://www.ucalgary.ca/mdprogram/admissions Hope that helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsalwayssunny Posted September 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 **** son. As sad as it is for me, it was good of them to put that info out there. Looks like even with a 15 VR you'd need at least a 3.7 for full file review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliusc Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 As an OOP would a 3.83 GPA and a 10 VR get me an interview? I don't have a lot of free cash to spend on the applications. Thank you for your help in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
