PredentalStudent Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Does anyone know what are the deciding factors for an interview at McGill? According to their website it says: The initial assessment of personal qualities and achievements is made from a study of the personal statement and the résumé submitted by all candidates. The personal statement should give the committee a clear image of the applicant and the personal characteristics and experiences which make him/her particularly suitable for the study of dentistry at McGill University. The assessment of the personal statement and the résumé, together with the reference reports from those referees chosen by the student, form the basis for a decision on whether an applicant possessing the academic performance criteria is to be invited for an interview. The files of candidates who are not invited for interviews are not considered further. Once the interviews have been completed all the components of the application process – GPA's for applicants to the D.M.D. program, Cote-R for applicants to the Dent-P program, scores assigned to the personal statement, the résumé, the reference letters and interview performance – are aggregated. Places in the entering class are offered to those whose assembled scores are the most competitive. Is this suggesting that they will not consider GPA until the very end? Will they be going over all applicants personal statement/resumes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaronjw Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 don't be fooled. Hotness is the deciding factor in an interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
future_doc Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 I believe they are merely saying that GPA is one of the factors considered with the other factors mentioned in determining whether an interview will be granted. They look at all the individual components in reaching a decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
