Arttomed Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 How is it that they sent 3.97 first and then 4.0, they can't be from two different categories. Honestly we should just wait and see what gonna happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
premedar Posted May 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Unless they went through all the people from the 4.0 category and the those with 3.97+ in the 3.5 category. The 3.97 that you see are the remaining applicants in the 3.5 interview category. Or, those with higher GPAs simply didn't post there. Anything is possible, only time will tell. But it is surprising for them to go through 3 interview categories! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc123 Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 Is the final interview score an average of the three interviewers? For example if the first interviewer scores the applicant 3.5/4, the second 4/4 and the third 4/4. That would make the average 3.83. If this is true than there are more than 9 possible interview scores that an applicant may receive. I'm not sure though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drsdoitwithpatience Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 good call. lol it might just be a range of interview scores per category.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctorfresh Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 A lot of people get off the waitlist and don't post their stats so the stats collected by the previous poster do make sense. They could have very well went all the way from 4.0 to 3.9 and onto the next 4.0 in the next lower interview group yet all that is known to us is that they went from 3.97-3.95 and then to 4.0 again. Maybe the people in between did not post since apparently there is an average movement of 60 spots yet I doubt even 1/3 of them posted. their stats previously.

doctorfresh Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 Yes then there's way more. They may just take the mode or the mean if it equals an actual interview score (2.5, 3.5, and 3.0 for example would be 3.0). We don't know. I know someone called or emailed last year to ask when they would start giving out waitlist offers and they responded. Is the final interview score an average of the three interviewers? For example if the first interviewer scores the applicant 3.5/4, the second 4/4 and the third 4/4. That would make the average 3.83. If this is true than there are more than 9 possible interview scores that an applicant may receive. I'm not sure though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damha Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 Who wants to take one for the team and email them asking when waitlist offers are going to start being made? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dreamcometrue Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 Thanks for calling!! The wait continues!!! I wonder if they call over the span of those 5 days, or once anytime in between then, did they say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belle_MD Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 Ughhh so close yet sooooo far!!! Thanks for the updates everyone! one more week, we can do this!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slumdogMD Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 I find it interesting that they go through the entire 3.5 interview group. The gpa spick that we see on the waitlist acceptances is most likely from those ppl at the top of the 3.0 interview group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamcometrue Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 How many interview groups do you suppose there are on the good waitlist to start with? up until 2.5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
premedar Posted May 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 Counting the GPA Spikes for 2014 (2 spikes), they seem to have gone through the entire 3.5 and 3.0 interview categories and some even in the 2.5 interview category, which is strange! In my opinion, it would make a lot more sense if each interviewer would assign a score between 0 and 4 to an interviewee and then the overall interview score would be the average of those individual scores. Each applicant would then be assigned a composite score (your overall interview score + GPA). And since they value interviews more: "Candidates with the highest interview score will be offered first in the order of their composite score, followed by those with the next highest interview score and so on" - http://med.uottawa.ca/undergraduate/admissions/application-process/offers-admission Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
