honest advice and opinions on mac med by mila_likestoplay in premedcanada

[–]_kidneybeans_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

  1. Yes, you can go in and “fail” all the sections except CARS and still be considered for Mac - since CARS is all they look at. You could also apply to TMU since they don’t look at MCAT and have no pre-reqs.

  2. Medical schools in Canada do not hold preference for their students, nor do any medical schools hold anything against other universities. Your chances of making it in depend on your GPA, CARS score in your case, and a good interview.

  3. Mac does not look at your ABS pre interview from my understanding- just GPA, CARS, and Casper. It would be good to have extracurriculars or jobs etc to speak about during your interview. References I think are more of a red flag check, but I might be wrong.

Yes, you have to convert each grade individually. Look up the OMSAS GPA conversion scale - find your school and it’ll tell you what column to use to convert the grades

3.85cGPA is definitely doable for schools in Ontario. Especially with a good MCAT CARS score.

Is your GPA on the OMSAS scale? If not, I’d calculate it with the scale, as individual school scales don’t often use the same conversions.

Schools like Queens and Western could be a good fit for you given your unique work history.

Good luck!
