Questions About Cutoffs


Recommended Posts

Hey everyone, just have a couple of questions about the GPA/MCAT cutoffs for Western:

 

1) when do they release the new cutoffs for each year? Is it before/after/along with the interview invites?

 

2) if you meet the cutoffs, do you automatically get an interview? I.E, do they set the cutoffs to fit a number of interviewees that they want?

 

 

 thanks!

1) Yes, usually in late Jan/early Feb

 

2) If you meet the cutoffs and their courseload criteria, yes you should get an interview. They set the cutoffs so that they interview ~450 each year.

 

one seen one case were 2) didn't happen. The only reason it is not guaranteed is to give them an out for professional reasons (ie if you are a convicted sex offender but have the mcat scores etc you still aren't getting an interview :) )

One must make sure as to not do or be construed as doing sex offender type stuff then.  :D (this is no joking matter).
