ckqkx Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 Right! Keep up on extracurriculum, so you can talk about it during the interview. Also, do more research. I believe UT and UBC both care quite a lot about your research experience. Really? That's new. I know U of T and UBC Med care a lot about your ECA + research but I didn't know dentistry did the same. I guess they ask about it during your interview? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will.8wt2 Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 Hey! Glad to see scores are out. Would like some input! I will mainly be applying to the States... Quite bummed by Bio, but quite happy with everything else. RC: 19 Bio: 17 Chem : 22 PAT: 22 AA/TS : 19 What are your thoughts? Would it be okay with the states? :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe UT and UBC both care quite a lot about your research experience. What are you talking about. Research and extra curriculars have next to nothing to do with the application process to either school. You're completely incorrect. Stop feeding incorrect information. I applied during this cycle so I am quite familiar with the application process. If anyone needs clarification feel free to PM me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they ask about it during your interview? UBC is basically MMI Style. They only do situational and ethics based. They do not ask about your research or ECs. No references are allowed. U of T uses CDA meaning half will be "tell me about a time" but this does not need to be research. A job or a volunteer experience may help but it's not needed whatsoever. Completely different than med school. Dentistry is marks, DAT, and Interview ONLY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.MP Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 Zeller93 is correct. But having a good set of personal experiences/extracurriculars to draw from can help set your answers apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
determinat0r Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 UGH! RC: 20 BIO: 24 Chem: 21 PAT: 15 AA: 22 Will I have to retake because of my PAT? Bribs, it depends on where you have your sights on studying. For some Canadian schools, you won't need to retake. For American Schools, I believe your PAT score would be considered too low despite your great AA. However, I'd call the individual schools and ask them to be certain. Anytime a student scores 24+ on a section, it definitely stands out to an admissions committee, so that is very impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zellerz93 Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 For UT, my friend talked his research experience to support this argument during the interview. I apologize for generalizing it. Not a problem I just find there is so much incorrect information on the forum. People told someone he might be waitlisted with a 3.95 high dat and average interview. This forum used to be helpful but now seems to be discouraging applicants or putting them down with false information. You can use research but if you talk about it too much in the interview and don't focus on the question it can be boring. I used group work in a 2nd year methods of biology class for one question, worked out well apparently lol. Just everyone be careful what you read. Go by stats on each schools site rather than the forum. Everyone seems to be trolling or just benign disrespectful this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Tenma Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 Bio: 24 General chem:19 PAT:20 RCT: 22 TS: 21 AA: 22 MDT= 5. 5!?!? What does thst mean!??!

Cube3 Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 Hey guys! Just had a heart attack seeing the email for DAT results. Here are my results, what do you guys think? RC: 27 Bio: 19 Chem: 20 Sciences: 19 AA: 22 PAT: 22 MDT: 26 I didn't study at all for biology/chemistry since I don't need them where I'm applying, so just mainly looking at RC, PAT and MDT.

ann2012 Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 Hmmm I got AA 20 and PAT 20. My cumulative GPA is 3.99. But I have been looking at the U of T, Western and UBC stats and seems like my DAT is below average. Should I retake it? I think with a 3.99 GPA you hv no problem getting an interview anywhere. Your DAT is fine, I think you don't need to retake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ann2012 Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 AA = 23RC = 27 PAT = 22MDT = 2 I didn't even finish haha...I am planning to apply to UT, UWO, McGill, and UBC. I know they don't look at MDT but would my SO BAD MDT mark affect my application? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My best 2 yr GPA is around 3.96/91% (did horrible in my first year ) I called UT about the MDT mark and they said they just completely ignore it lol So I don't think you have to worry about it Great scores btw!

determinat0r Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 ^ Depends on your GPA. If it's in the 3.85+ column then I wouldn't be too worried. Your scores are still somewhat competitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ann2012 Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 I am planning to apply to UWO. I am OOP. My best 2 year is probably somewhere the same around 3.90ish UWO doesn't hv a quota for OOP so you should be fine and from what I know UWO only look at GPA (in %) and your RC score for giving out interviews. Your RC is great and if your GPA is around 87+ I think you will get an interview at UWO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
