CoolBeans Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 So having a Masters gives you an extra point on your application. Is it one percentage point? Or is it a point on the overall score (like out of 8/10 +1 gives you 9/10)? Curious how they score this. I thought it was 1 percentage point but they don't truly specify.

Harvey Specter Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 I think they grade you out of 100 in total for your application. The extra point is worth an extra 1%... So if your GPA + MCAT + EC + Interview got you a 72/100, you would get a 73/100 final mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plateau Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 What if you withdrew from your masters program a few months in? would that result in eliminating a point or having no impact (point wise) to your application? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that you actually have to show that you've finished (or prove that you will be done by a certain date) it before they will give you a point.

But what if you withdrew from your masters after two months of being in the program without any courses taken yet - I know you can't get a point for that but would that reflect badly on your application OR result in a point reduced?

Oh I see what you're saying. I can't see any reason why it would affect you negatively. They wouldn't deduct any points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunday Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 u of c has areas for subjective analysis of your application, whereas u of a does not. they simply follow a formula and let the numbers made the decisions. i think you'll be good.
