smithd Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Hi everyone! I wrote my MCAT this summer and did fairly well in all sections (129/130/131), except for CARS (126). The CARS score makes me ineligible for most schools out of Ontario, as well as possibly Western and Queen's, based on their cutoff scores from the old MCAT (though I guess the 10/10/10 cutoff for Queen's is really just rumoured). Does anyone have any feedback on whether the lower CARS score will be detrimental to my application in the upcoming cycle? Any help would be great! Thanks.

Thanks. 126 = a 9 on the old scale; that should be fine for U of T (they actually changed their cutoffs to a 8 on every section for the 2015 mcat takers). For Mac, if you have a very high gpa + good casper, it could make up for the 9. Western is out of the running though (I think). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roro2555 Posted August 22, 2015 Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 I think you have a good shot at Toronto McMaster as long as your gpa is solid. Queens honestly now you never know you might as well as apply. Western I don't think would be a good idea. Apply to ubc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92Carribean Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 How high would your GPA need to be to overcome a 126 for Mcmaster? (considering no other racial or otherwise advanatages) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(considering no other racial or otherwise advanata> > 3.95 ish? (would also depend on your casper too) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
