dassy Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 I wish they'd mentioned the reason, like Ottawa and Western! From looking at the stats thread, it seems that there was likely a minimum overall MCAT score cutoff which I didn't meet with my measly 10/11/10... I don't think it was the MCAT, because from the looks of the stats thread I think the minimums stayed around the same at 10-10-10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The theory is the minimums are the same but the overall is higher (32) Could be wrong though. I haven't seen a score from an invited applicant below 32 (or 33 for that matter).

nabiscos Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Same here..I just want the e-mail already. Expecting to rejected, esp since their best mcat policy might go against me (I have a higher unbalanced test score vs. a lower balanced score which should meet cutoffs).

ygella Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Is there still a chance that we might get an invite if we haven't received an email yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackowl Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Is there still a chance that we might get an invite if we haven't received an email yet? That's what I keep telling myself too. Doesn't really feel healthy to compulsively check my email every minute or so, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen a score from an invited applicant below 32 (or 33 for that matter). I was going to mention something like that. Although people are posting with a 10 in one section, they have much higher in the others. So the overall must be around 32ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although people are posting with a 10 in one section, they have much higher in the others. So the overall must be around 32ish. It's just so crazy. It can't just be the lack of WS. There must be substantially more applications. My guess is more people 1.) reapplying and 2.) a lot of people went back to school post-recession or a little after and are now just applying. I honestly did not think Ontario could become more competitive than it already is. Wonderful place to live and we have a lot to be thankful for (we have it really good), but the wrong place to be born if you want to go into medicine.

TarCalion Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Queen's is always a colossal f-up every year with invites. You'd think that they could iron out a process that they must repeat every single year without fail. I was part of the year where they sent people invites and then had to retract the invites! My point is that it would totally be in character for them to leave it over the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justwondering999 Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 How can they mess it up year after year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dassy Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 I think this year with the server going down was just an really unfortunate incident! I really doubt they would leave it over the weekend, they know that a lot of people are just waiting to hear back and are probably working their best to send everything out. I hope everyone hears soon whether good or bad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broom Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Last year they didn't mess it up. It really sucks, but if their internet is down it's not the fault of admissions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, the stats this year are getting ridiculously crazy! The WS definitely has something to do with that I think....I mean look at Western who bumped up their BS from 10 to 12!! But also, I agree that a lot more people are re-applying and it's just causing a larger and larger build-up of candidates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know queen's focuses on ECs.. so not competitive at all. how long after giving invites, did they retract the invites ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
