Comprehensible Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 Time Stamp: 4:01 January 25th Invite: Invite IP/OOP: IP SWOMEN: No 2YGPA: 4.00 MCAT: C/P 132; CARS 132; B/B 132 (396/528 total) Question: is signup for the interviews NOT first come first serve? Ideally I'd like to wait until I hear back from Ottawa/Queen's on Monday so that I can schedule everything - I can't be in 2 places at once, and while I could do Mac and Western in a weekend, there's no way I could do Ottawa or Queens and Mac/Western in a single weekend. The fact that it's saying to rank my top 5 choices, and doesn't seem to be showing any full spots suggests that there is no benefit to signing up faster - is that true? Thanks!

According to the e-mail, you can change your selected date up until February 1st. I selected my top 5 choices right now, however once other invites come in, I will likely change them accordingly. Also interview dates aren't assigned until February 2nd anyways so none of the spots can be full right now. I just filled mine out right now just in case it was first come first serve.

I selected my top 5 choices right now, however once other invites come in, you could probably change them accordingly. It says "You have until 4:00 PM EST on Thursday February 1st to log in and choose your preferences. You should receive an email on Friday February 2nd indicating the day and time of your interview as assigned through a computer-generated matching system based on your choices. At 3:00 PM EST on Friday February 2nd the website will reopen and, should you wish to change your interview date/time, you will have until 4:00 PM EST on Tuesday February 6th to log in and make a change through the add/drop process if an opening is available." That suggests to me you can only change it after February 2nd. But I missed the part about the computer generated matching system - I think it's probably OK to wait as long as I don't forget to register on Monday. Thanks!

AAMC removes the writing sample, Western decides its going to introduce a writing portion to its interviews. AAMC adds a new section to the MCAT, Western decides "screw that let's just evaluate on the three sections most similar to the old MCAT". pekingduck, CXR, firecracker and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worst part is that they made it seem like Psych would be considered this year - people who met the cutoff but with <127 scores in Psych may have went through the unnecessary stress re-writing this to bump up their Psych, only to find out it doesn't matter.

EricLeman34 Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 Does Western have a strict 129 CARS cutoff or a 383 cutoff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both, you need to be at or above for both. That was for this year though. Things can change slightly year to year. EricLeman34 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
