shady Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 There are the MD/PhD interviews today. I imagine they have their hands full with managing that. Ohhh right. I always thought today was the 26th for some reason. Yea given MD/PhD's I doubt we would hear anything until they are over. So either end of day, or Monday. I'm betting Monday. Now, time to log off and de-stress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpirrel Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 any queens med students have any idea if they will be using ws cutoffs this year? or in the future? comp glitched during my MCAT and I ended up with an 11-10-14-O. really don't want to re-write! my guess is that this will be the last year they use them. but hoping for the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ottawamed.90 Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 I thought U of T sent out invites throughout the spring? Do they send out a large portion at once and then a smaller amount after? I think he just meant U of T would send something out... any queens med students have any idea if they will be using ws cutoffs this year? or in the future? comp glitched during my MCAT and I ended up with an 11-10-14-O. really don't want to re-write! The adcom was reviewing whether or not to use it last I heard. Not sure how the vote went in the end but there is a chance it won't be used.

KomodoDragon Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Last year U of T sent a whole bunch of notices out the first week (I think they said 600 rejections in the first round), and then continued on throughout the next couple of months.

parad0cs Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 The adcom was reviewing whether or not to use it last I heard. Not sure how the vote went in the end but there is a chance it won't be used. My first MCAT's writing sample was below the cut-off, so I re-wrote it. But the number scores are still higher from my first test. In the event that they omit the writing sample, would they use my first (better) test in the assessment?

Their policy is to assess the best MCAT score so dropping the WS wouldn't have any effect on that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ottawamed - congrats on your acceptance to Wayne! That must be a huge relief! Can I ask what your GPA/ MCATs were to get interviews at Georgetown and Wayne? Are you a Canadian citizen? Do you have American citizenship? I'm starting to realize I may need to apply to the states next year and Georgetown is a top choice of mine. Would love to know your states so I can have some idea where i stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bee723 Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 So, I was just perusing the invite/rejections thread from last application cycle (don't judge, we've all been there, haha). It scares the bejeezus out of me - so many excellent candidates were rejected pre-interview. I see people with great GPAs, fantastic MCAT scores, and varied and in depth lists of ECs rejected and it really freaks me out. It also begs the question of what admissions is looking for - how do they select for interviews? Are there cutoffs? Is there a lot of emphasis on reference letters?

dpirrel Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 The strangest cutoff last year was an R on writing. I've searched Queen's website and they really don't give any hints as to exact cut-offs per se. But from speaking with friends who got invites/rejections an R was the cutoff that stood out as unusual to me anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
