Hyperalgesia Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 Not true! You can never believe everything you read on the internet See the September 13th, 2012 post on the admissions blog: http://mdadmissions.ucalgaryblogs.ca/page/3/ This has been changed. Via the 2013-2014 applicant manual: 2.6 Minimum MCAT NEW The MD program has instituted a minimum MCAT score for non-Albertan applicants as follows: Non-Albertan applicants must have a minimum VR score of 11 in order to be eligible to apply. As per section 2.5 above, all non-Albertan applicants with a GPA of 3.8 and a VR score of 11 or greater will be sent for full file review. Applicants with a VR of less than 11 or GPA of <3.8 will not be considered under any circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hockeynut Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 I was referring to this current application cycle, you need aqn 11 to be considered now as an OOP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srum Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 Oh good, that gives me so much more hope! My GPA is ~3.85, and my practice VRs are ranging 11-13. The new system means I have a much better shot at getting a file review (and hopefully an interview.) The thought of receiving a "Regrets, No File Review" notification after shedding my blood, sweat and tears into the application really makes me shudder...
