You got a rejection email? 

[tigerstripe15]

Yep,  just received it now.

[BalkanRelations]

Yeah just got an OOP rejection - damn my NAQ score was shockingly low. Always thought my EC's were pretty good - I'll have to do some thinking to figure out what that is about. 

[atsev1223]

[Nmmmed]

Feeling surreal and probably not in the most positive way. This was my first time applying and I know my GPA is on the lower side (82%) compared to the pool, but I always just kinda hoped to be that outlier, you know? Guess there's nothing to do besides try again. Good luck to the rest of you patient souls. 

[HongHongHong]

Guess I'll try next year. :/

My GPA is kinda low, so I'm not too surprised, but pretty sad to see how far below average my NAQs are.

Remember that your NAQ score is in context of a hypercompetitive applicant pool of medical students, and can vary depending on how you express your achievements and who reviews them. 

Dont think you're ECs are "bad" or anything like that, its just a subjective process. But at least you know where you can "improve".

Keep working, your NAQ is already pretty good, but youll need to continue and take time to improve it further over the years. You can get in with your "low" GPA, but youll need to get that NAQ up to 30+.  Look and see if taking more courses would make an appreciable difference.

Don't the interim stats say that candidates with "a total file review score of 51.67/100 or more were invited to interview"? 

Edit: Sorry guys, I totally missed the fact OP is OOP.

Wasn't really expecting an interview this year, since my first year GPA was rough, but it's nice to know where I'm at, and where I can improve. I'll probably rewrite my NAQ, and add a few more things from this year. Might rewrite my MCAT this summer.

They are OOP, so it had to be 63.28 or more.
