schmitty Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 cGPA 3.25VR 11 BSc BScN New York State Licensed Registered Nurse Honestly, very little chance without more UG years. Perhaps U of T, Queens, etc weighting will help you a lot if your GPA is mostly due to a few very bad courses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leon Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 3.77 GPA11VR good chance at an interview or does 11V not cut it anymore? Good chance. Depends on CASPer. 11VR is above average. It will probably never fall into the "does not cut it anymore" category. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leon Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 cGPA 3.25VR 11 BSc BScN New York State Licensed Registered Nurse Likely no chance at Mac. Maybe other schools, depending on your annual GPA breakdown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Der Kaiser Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 Good chance. Depends on CASPer. 11VR is above average. It will probably never fall into the "does not cut it anymore" category. Actually, as of last year it is slightly below avg. (11.07). For all intents and purposes it is now avg. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockeynut Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 Actually, as of last year it is slightly below avg. (11.07). For all intents and purposes it is now avg. lol But for gaining an interview I would say it is above average, then for all intensive purposes it's all interview.

Leon Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Actually, as of last year it is slightly below avg. (11.07). For all intents and purposes it is now avg. lol lol oh God, 11 is below average now? I don't know how that's possible - almost everyone I know failed the VR! Looks like the pool is getting increasingly competitive Thanks for the input! I am waiting to hear back to determine if my final 2 years are considered full time or not, if so my GPA will be a 3.85 Do you mean your last 2 year GPA will be 3.85?

alpaca Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 cGPA 3.63Verbal 9 In province. I know my stats are below admission averages, what are my chances for getting an interview invite? Shd I bother applying? It's true that your GPA and VR score are both below average, but remember that 1/3rd of the first formula is CASPer, which you've yet to complete. If I were you, I'd apply anyway. Even if you don't get an interview, at least you'll have experience with CASPer. If you don't get accepted into medical school this year, I'd suggest rewriting the VR section. Although your GPA is below average, 33 (16%) of the 203 students in the 2016 class had a similar or lower GPA. On the other hand, only 13 (or 6%) had a 9 or below on VR. If you were able to raise your VR score to a 10 or higher, then your chances would improve significantly. Even then your scores would still be below average, and you'd still have to do exceptionally well on CASPer, but it's worth a shot. Good luck, my friend!

Your GPA is solid and with an amazing casper you might score an interview. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarvish Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 Might as well ask since I know the score now. GPA: 3.75 VR: 11 The new formula hurts me since I'm below average in GPA and pretty much on average for VR now. I just don't know how badly my GPA will hurt.

If you do well on CASPer, I would be optimistic. Practice well with whatever sample material is available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got Doing Right that I was planning to read through. CASPer always worried me since it seems like everyone's answers would be similar.

CASPer always worried me since it seems like everyone's answers would be similar. Almost everyone walks out of CASper shaking their head. Doing right won't help you prepare that much. In all honesty, try your absolute best to give a clear answer for each question. You won't have a lot of time so theres no thinking, its whatever pops into your head.
