MrSchwartz3 Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 Hi everyone, I know on the OMSAS app we are to tick off which 3 items/category we want uOttawa to look at, but are those the only three items they take into account when deciding to offer us an interview?

MrSchwartz3 Posted January 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 Anyone have a firm answer for that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelsojc Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 Yes they only look at top 3 pre-interview, but during the interview they will consider everything on the sketch, not just top 3s. Since they only look at top 3, the wGPA is the most determining factor of whether you will receive on interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xyang4380 Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 has anyone received an interview with 3.90 gpa from the ottawa pool? Or do you need at least a 3.95+ as i've seen on the forums? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belle_MD Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 I believe if you look back there have definitely been people invited with 3.89/3.90. It's absolutely possible in my opinion! I'm not sure how much it matters what pool you're in, but some people believe it makes a difference. I think 3.90 has a definite shot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSchwartz3 Posted January 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 I know it's possible with less than a 3.95. My friend got one last year and she has a 3.92. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sigmund Freud Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 I was talking to a 2nd year medical student at UOttawa the other day who said they don't receive the other sketch items, so they aren't evaluated. But I would personally ask admissions this question to get the most accurate answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSchwartz3 Posted January 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 I emailed the admissions committee, and they said that while the pre-interview evaluations do not include sketch items other than the top 3 you selected, if you're granted an interview, the panel has your entire sketch in front of them during that course of the interview.
