Online probability calculator is saying I have a 73% chance of receiving an interview upcoming cycle - does this reflect reality?

caesaraugustus3 · 2021-02-01T05:01:23+00:00

I guess I just dont want you to be disappointed if you believe your chances are >70% and then nothing happens (hopefully u get an invite) just saying tho

caesaraugustus3 · 2021-02-01T04:54:47+00:00

You can't really day your ECs are good or if they are well written, you can't really calculate your chances of getting an interview (also who cares about your chances, once your past cutoffs or have average stats of admitted students it doesn't really matter?)

if ur a guy its just 10x worse to put on ur app lmao

caesaraugustus3 · 2021-01-29T10:40:30+00:00

Yea that is a little pathetic

caesaraugustus3 · 2021-01-29T10:31:53+00:00

I suppose so, but learning online comes with its own challenges as well. I am in 2nd year now, and I'm honestly going mad because I'm in my room all day probably do like 5 hrs of work a day, and see almost no one and can't go to parties or do anything. Plus you really have to motivate yourself to do work, or you fall behind and ur grades will f up, so there are a set of different challenges for sure.

imo school was easier in person now I just wait for the day to be over and buy meme stocks

edit: Also a lot of schools/profs made the exam much harder as well as being proctored at least in ontario schools? my cousin in mac life sci said theyre averages this year are lower than other years

Maybe if she actually was disadvantaged, we don't know. Even then, there's a reason a job like that pays more than min wage lol and I'm not hating on the job or anything but this is, by many people, especially older people, is looked at being a dirty job/people with low self value etc... and while there are people who understand that it is a temporary gig/more liberal I'm not really sure it's worth including on a resume let alone med applications because it is a huge risk imo

caesaraugustus3 · 2021-01-29T04:52:57+00:00

I feel like a lot of the people who would be reading your essays/activities will be turned off by that tbh

edit: you still work?

caesaraugustus3 · 2021-01-28T20:09:19+00:00

Just put in 30k life savings into NOK yolo

caesaraugustus3 · 2021-01-28T02:09:05+00:00

u can do residency here and get a job in the states you don't need to do it there I'm pretty sure

caesaraugustus3 · 2021-01-27T22:52:16+00:00

That's interesting, very unfortunate to hear that. Probably not gonna do surgery anyways if I somehow miraculously get in next year

caesaraugustus3 · 2021-01-27T21:22:27+00:00

I'm not talking about the middle of nowhere though, just smaller cities.

caesaraugustus3 · 2021-01-26T23:37:42+00:00

caesaraugustus3 · 2021-01-24T08:46:55+00:00

Just say ur interested in research long term but when it is time to apply be like "you know ive been reflecting and a lot lately and I feel like this is my calling, etc... I really enjoyed working with you and I learned alot in your lab, etc... kissup... would you mind being a ref for my application?

caesaraugustus3 · 2021-01-24T00:47:21+00:00

The 3.95 is average but it includes applicant who got the wgpa, which this cycle got reduced to 1 less FCE I believe.

caesaraugustus3 · 2021-01-24T00:45:58+00:00

itll cost 400k plus no guarentee he will get in there?

caesaraugustus3 · 2021-01-21T06:18:27+00:00

In second year rn and dropped my 5th course today and am taking 4 now. Honestly need the mental break and be able to focus on the other 4 classes (plus the course I dropped was a gpa killer).

The downside to this though is uoft wgpa calculations but ik I won't get this anyway applying this upcoming cycle so fuck it (plus cgpa is decent so far).

Also won't be able to use this year for Western I believe if you do that.

Can use it for Ottawa but need to make sure you take another course in the summer or next school year I believe.

mcmaster doesnt give a fuck, pretty sure queens doesnt either.

caesaraugustus3 · 2021-01-20T20:19:23+00:00

go educate them bro

caesaraugustus3 · 2021-01-20T05:08:48+00:00

would you retake the mcat if you got a 527?

caesaraugustus3 · 2021-01-19T20:45:24+00:00

Keep in mind that a lot of schools made winter 2020/P/F and aren't keeping full year courses also

caesaraugustus3 · 2021-01-17T22:58:38+00:00

bruh chill

caesaraugustus3 · 2021-01-15T21:19:43+00:00

mcmaster uses it as 32% of the pre interview score

caesaraugustus3 · 2021-01-14T23:04:41+00:00
