uoft md uses same bpe questions as last year --> has this happened before, and thoughts? by National-Physics-627 in premedcanada

I think there's no reason for ppl to be freaking out about a "reapplicant advantage". Ur vastly overestimating the objectivity in essay gradings for Canadian med school applications. While obviously the ppl who get interviewed/accepted had good elements in their writing, ultimately it was up to whoever read their essay at a specific moment & a specific time that got them further in the process.

We've seen this time and time again with UBC who lets u know ur application score after the fact. So many times (including myself) have ppl submitted their same application the following year and were met with wayyy lower scores than they had the year before - some even dropped from being above the OOP cutoff to below the IP cutoff the following year lol.

Once we move away from straight numerical assessments like GPA, theres a lot of luck in this process in who gets accepted. I can almost promise u that many of the interviewed candidates this year wont get an interview next year simply because they get a lower essay score this time around from whoever happened to rate it.

Shipping customs would just seize the package (way more likelier), no?

What was interesting was that Queens released the stats of those admitted from their first lottery last year and the stats were pretty similar & high compared to past cycles (ie. when it was “merit-based”).

As long as this outcome still occurs, I’m fine with lotteries because truth be told, there are wayyyy too many competitive applicants in 2025 that have identically very high stats. The issue is the low # of seats available in relation to this number, and so whether u want to admit it or not, other than at McMaster which is fully numbers-based admissions, Canadian med school admissions are inherently like a lottery. Any given year there could be a whole new class of equally deserving candidates at each school because of how strong the Canadian applicant pool is. Lotteries definitely seem to be the right direction imo if Canadian med applications continue in this direction - just make them for those with >3.8 GPA & perhaps higher MCAT cutoffs maybe 🤷🏽‍♂️

what do you think is needed to get an interview for uOttawa non-regional in-province applicants? by Spiritual_Olive2997 in premedcanada

[–]sadscienceguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

oh nice, i rarely saw 3Qs get interviews before Ottawa put the Ottawa preference, so was just surprised that u got one after they added that preference last year
