rmorelan Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Do we know when the admission's office is going to release these? First week of Feb? Nothing official yet - that is about the usual time but really it is just when they complete all the work involved in preparing everything. Very soon of course!

sgt.pepper Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Has anyone on here ever been rejected when they made both cuttoffs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmorelan Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Has anyone on here ever been rejected when they made both cuttoffs? Yes, because they failed to meet one of the other rules (3/5 course rule, full time status.....) However I have never run into anyone in all my time here that met all the rules and the cut offs that did not get an interview. Still the school will reserve the right to do it some really unusual circumstance I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmorelan Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 I should mention that it might help to think about how western uses cut offs - it picks a cut off in order to get the number of students it wants for interviews. If you look at it that way then it makes sense way you would get an interview if you got them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holiday1001 Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 how can you fail to meet the 3/5 course rule? ie the 3.7 cutoff in combination with that? Yes, because they failed to meet one of the other rules (3/5 course rule, full time status.....) However I have never run into anyone in all my time here that met all the rules and the cut offs that did not get an interview.

Fido33 Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 I was rejected last year because of the 3/5 rule and it specifically mentioned that in the rejection letter. My GPA qualifying years (4th and 5th year) were heavy on 2000 level psych courses. I was well aware of this beforehand but applied anyways since it was a newer rule and no one seemed quite sure if admissions would budge if you had a valid reason (in my case added a minor in psychology). They did not, but it made my decision easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Western has relatively few rules, they are quite obvious and they are enforced Nice and transparent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzle Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 What's the history of MCAT cutoffs for Western? I hear 9/11/10 is pretty standard. Has the BS cutoff ever been 11? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was 2008-2009??, or whatever year it was right before they changed it to VR=11. I redid my MCAT because the required UWO BS was an 11 (I had got 10), and VR was 10, (I had a 10) then the very year after, they changed it to what it currently is, BS=10, VR=11 (my second MCAT was BS12, PS11, VR10, womp womp) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
