MDmaybe99 Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 SunAndMoon- Nope I only did a 4 year undergrad (biomedical science) I remember them talking about my upper level courses and how they look at difficulty and stuff. So I agree with Haribo in that they would distinguish between someone who did part time studies in an unrelated field vs. someone doing full time studies in a related field. As well as how difficult the electives you chose were. I have a few friends with very high GPAs that took courses like Bee Keeping and Canadian Hockey for their electives... Totally understand the reasoning, however I did a 3 year undergrad in Bachelor of Science with upper level courses as well and electives were all related fields..

0zero0zero Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 Uhhh I had a 3.83 GPA and was first quintile for GPA and for CVPN. Maybe they weigh recommended or advanced courses heavily? This point makes sense to me. I have a hard time believing that 3.95 is second quintile, considering the GPA avg for invitee is usually around ~3.8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookacola Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 I got my ranking by email 2 years ago when I first applied. Email Admissions asking for your feedback, they'll forward your request to the right person. Just an update for anyone curious: I got an email yesterday saying that they cannot provide personal feedback for applicants, so it seems like this has changed for this year.

SunAndMoon Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 Just an update for anyone curious: I got an email yesterday saying that they cannot provide personal feedback for applicants, so it seems like this has changed for this year. they said they can't, or they can't right now? That really sucks if it has changed. It was really helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookacola Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 they said they can't, or they can't right now? That really sucks if it has changed. It was really helpful. I believe they mean they can't at all, here is the part of the email: "We understand that you have dedicated much time and effort to the application process and that you may wish to better understand this outcome. While it is impossible for the Office of Admissions to provide applicants with individualized feedback or advising, we hope the following information will clarify certain important elements of the selection process." (followed by their formula for weighting pre-interview decisions) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exergy Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 I believe they mean they can't at all, here is the part of the email: "We understand that you have dedicated much time and effort to the application process and that you may wish to better understand this outcome.

(followed by their formula for weighting pre-interview decisions) The same line was in last year's email too and I was able to know my ranking/talk about my application sometime in June.

Haribo7173 Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 I got this email following my dent rejection, I assume it's the same for med (notice the last line): "While we understand that applicants dedicate much time and effort in the preparation of their application and would like to better understand the outcome, we unfortunately do not provide individualized advising. However, we do offer to provide information about your ranking if we receive a request submitted by email." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookacola Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 I see! Maybe I should just wait and inquire later then. Thanks to both of you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMislove Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 Med email has this "We understand that you have dedicated much time and effort to the application process and that you may wish to better understand this outcome. While it is impossible for the Office of Admissions to provide applicants with individualized feedback or advising, we hope the following information will clarify certain important elements of the selection process." And then they list the selection process scheme such as 70% academic, 30% CV, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
