Sit Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 Hey guys, So I'm from Calgary (won't count as OOP), and I left the province to study undergrad at UBC. Firstly, does anyone know if I use the letter grade or percent grade conversion in UCAN? If the former, my GPA is 3.94. I just got my MCAT: 13 11 11 (35 total). I am just going into 3rd year now. I have decent volunteer experience: 100+ hours at a long term care hospital, club executive for 2 years and minor lab experience (no publication or abstract yet). Basically, what I'm most concerned about is the massive age difference. The stats say the average age is 27?? If I got in, that would mean I'd be 6 years younger than the average. Is the high average because UoC favours older people, or is that just because older people apply? Can anyone lend me their insight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12345c Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 You have a great chance! Just make sure you write up your EC's in a way that display's the roles U of C is looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
321izme Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 Hey I was an OOP 3rd year applicant (19 upon application, 20 upon interview) with a marginally higher GPA (4.0) but a lower VR (14 PS/10 VR/13 BS). I don't think the age difference made a big difference at all, especially during the interview since I scored in the 85th percentile and got in. Just answer everything with maturity and no one will care about your physical age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sit Posted September 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 Awesome! Thank you. So does anyone know which I use for GPA conversion? Letter or percent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
