For a third year applicant to McMaster Med., does your GPA..

[Guest kylle345]

.......have to be way above 3.0 (like 3.7-4.0) to have a chance? or is it as long as you make the cutoff, then they will assess you based on your application?

 

thanks

As long as your GPA is a minimum of 3.0 on the OMSAS scale, your sketch will be assessed. If it is awsome, you may get invited to the interview ... however with a GPA of just 3.0 you must remain realistic about your chances because there is usually close to 4,000 applicants to Mac and many of these people are absolutely outstanding. So I guess the bottom line is: work on your sketch, put it away for a while, work on it some more, get a million people to critically read it, then work on it some more .... (anyone who has applied can identify with the above sentence ).
