monty Posted December 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 I received an invite last year and got wait listed and was well above the interview cutoff but the large drop in people's NAQ scores has me worried! I have done better this year at not checking my email every few minutes though. Anyone else a repeat interviewer hoping for another chance?

BAMFtastic Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 so what do you guys think my chances are: MCAT - met minimums (easy) OGPA - 92 and 95 in the past two year NAQ - competed in sports internationally, student council at school, run my own societies, volunteered in third world country, study abroad, took two years off before undergrad I haven't gotten an email yet, I don't know if that is a good or bad thing though.

BAMFtastic Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 (rolls eyes)... Please post in some kind of "what are my chances" thread.... No offense was meant, I am just anxious about getting an interview as I have already applied. I figured people who have been rejected may be able to compare themselves to me and help me out.

quicksilver545 Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 It's understandable that you're anxious. We all are. It's just frustrating when threads get hi-jacked by people posting with "what are my chances" when it's just as easy to start a new thread. Anyways, it sounds like you're set up well to receive an interview, so don't stress out too much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

page_matrix Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 the day to day wait is anxiety-inducing! Why can't they just upload all the stats on our files since they are done file review...it's like waiting for our sentence day after day...safe for today...who knows what happens tomorrow.

wutdo Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 ... so am I apologize for my attitude before, thought yoo were IP. If you are OOP then there still is a chance (unfortunately) that you may get rejected. OOP standards are pretty crazy! But with your NAQ stuff I still think you have a solid chance. I'd say 50/50 currently just like the rest of us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBoss Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 IMO OOPs with 90%+ (50 AQ) chances are really just proportional to their NAQ, which is hard to estimate unless you either have no ECs or you are William Hwang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hs1 Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 The bolded text means that the AQ score is a scaled score. So, you could have an GPA of 80, for example, but if the average GPA for the applicant pool is 95, your AQ score would be low. 80 is still a respectable GPA, but would be lower relative to other applicants. The second part basically means that if your overall or adjusted GPA is correct, then the AQ score has to be right. Hope that helps! I'm confused. This is from their blog: AQ Score = OGPA (if not eligible for AGPA) or AGPA, converted to a number out of 50 (50 is the maximum score). That’s it- the AQ score is just your OGPA or AGPA, automatically converted to a number out of 50 by our computer system. The conversion mechanism is confidential. Just a warning: your AQ score might be really low, like 5 or out of 50, even if you have a good GPA. As long as your OGPA or AGPA is right, your AQ score is also right. Could someone clarify the part in bold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a rejection post by someone earlier who mentioned a 90+ average with no interview. As one of the people that you're referring to, I want to add that I think you will have a better NAQ score than mine. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
