Hope it wasn't an honest mistake haha You don't know how happy it makes me to think legitimate fakers got caught. It shows a severe lack of understanding re: the rules (and thinking you are special enough to circumvent them). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howdyho124 Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Congrats to All who got interviews!!! I got mine during class today and couldn't focus at all because I was shaking too much.

I silently squealed, bounced in my seat for a minute and then showed my friend the email. I'm pretty sure the prof happened to be looking right at me. I then proceeded to creep PM101 for the rest of the class and have no idea what the prof said about ATP synthase. Shame, since there's a midterm Tuesday.

Der Kaiser Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 wow are you referring to the people whose file was closed for misrepresentation? Obviously it depends on the degree of misrepresentation, but one would assume that if their files were closed it was pretty serious, which is not cool. I don't feel sorry for them at all in that if they felt the need to lie then I do not think they understand what it means to be a professional and should not have been applying in the first place. I know it sounds harsh, but there has to be zero tolerance for this kind of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Tyrannus Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Looks like the VR is make or break. Good to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frenziedmalady Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Looks like the VR is make or break. Good to know. This looks to be the trend from the stats in the invites thread. Looks like your chance with a 10VR is not very good unless you have a lot of things going on in your app. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like your chance with a 10VR is not very good unless you have a lot of things going on in your app. Any thoughts? Well VR is worth 10% of your application score, so it probably plays a good part in it. and its prob not linear. I can't see them simply going (12/15)*10 or something for your mark out of 10. 1/10 is probably like a 7 or 8 on VR and 10/10 is prob a 15. Just my thoughts. Also, My VR was 10, so it's possible!! (the other 90% of my application must've made up for my low VR) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see them simply going (12/15)*10 or something for your mark out of 10. 1/10 is probably like a 7 or 8 on VR and 10/10 is prob a 15. I honestly suspect it is linear, scaled over 7 and up (something like ([score]-7)/8)*10%), or bell curved around ~11...both a simple to implement. Could be just me though...my answer to everything statistical is to bell curve it somehow. Also, the U of C lists 27.22 as their average accepted age last year, while their average applicant was ~24. Couldn't find other stats, but do you guys think this is typical? I mean, I could see them having a hard time discerning 22 year old candidates (there was ~450 and that's increasing this year probably)...but that seems a bit higher than what I would have expected.

shematoma Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Anyone else having trouble scheduling their interview? It's 8:02am. It says it's not opening till 10am today but all our instructions said 8am... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mononoke Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 My interview scheduler says that it'll open at 10AM, but it hasn't opened yet...so should I be actually checking at 12AM EST? Time zones are so frustrating... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renoir Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 I think they made a mistake in the email. My scheduler actually says it won't open until 10AM (there is no timezone listed), so presumably it won't open for another two hours (10MST)...
