Hate to start a new thread but I couldn't find a previous thread which answered my ?

How strict is the cut-off/will I likely get rejected from VCOMs with these stats. My gpa is >3.2 in the last 120 credits as well fyi..

Anybody had success still getting II with similar stats?

I dont know if it helps but I consider my ECs and LORs to be very, very good.

Thanks in advance.

I would guess your cGPA didnt make the cut; VCOM probably wanted a 3.2 or above.

Oh no, this scares me, I'm still not verified yet.

What is your MCAT?

Do your research and you will find out what schools will autoboot you.

Then I guess VCOM does have a strict cutoff.

Probably a hard cGPA cutoff. Could wait until you're verified then contact them to make sure though.

OHHHH trust me. I did my research. I feel sorry for people who didn't. That's giving away free money........ 😢

It is only $35. Small compared to the grand scheme of things.

 

[oOKawaiiOo]

It is only $29. Small compared to the grand scheme of things.

It would take me approximately 3.5 hours to make that amount, after tax of course.

 

[oOKawaiiOo]

Wait, I thought it was .....

$35 per school + 195 Application .....sooooo

(35*X+195) = Y
x = number of schools
y = final cost of application
195 = set value of the application

So where did you get $29 dollars from? @mathnerd88

Yeah, true. I mistakenly applied to msucom when I know I won't go there.

Yes, I edited my previous post. $35 was what I meant. I thought it was $195 for the first school and $35 for each additional school afterwards.

You have good stats.....you might fare well.

Yes, I edited my previous post.

LOL I saw.

More like because tuition is $90k a year. I didn't do my research.

i applied for the hell of it because they dont interview. SURPRISE, they do THIS year. fml.

 

[Michander125]

Ok, some mistook my post.

I did not get rejected. I have not even applied to this school yet. I did look on VCOM website and saw the cut-offs. I am wanting to know if others have had success with my stats aka they are not "hard cut-offs".

I misread. I saw auto-reject and assumed. Oooops.

Well, last year, their incoming class had 3.6/26, but they take account of every aspect of your application. I think you will have a fighting chance. Your ECs will carry you.

Yeah, well like you said I am not into throwing away $35. I might just end up throwing an app out there anyway and update others who in a similar situation stat-wise.

I'm still applying to VCOM. Gotta take every opportunity...... like sending a Wink Bomb on Match.com........

For sGPA or cGPA? Is it like a KCU 3.25 hard cutoff for sGPA?

 

[adrian710]

Mind sharing EC's?

 

[TUVIX]

VCOM never sent me a secondary and I emailed them twice and they claim to still be screening me. They said they received a lot of applications so it takes time to screen. I submitted my primary in July. They have been screening me for a secondary for 5 months. LOL. Why they haven't just rejected me is really beyond my understanding.

I have no clue.

A 3.25 is not a hard cutoff for sGPA...

 

[adrian710]

Come again?

 

[darkeon]

Come again?

Some posters on here have indicated that they relieved secondaries from luck despite not having the 3.25 gpa (either cum or sci). Claims go that meeting at least 2 of 3 (min cgpa min sgpa min mcat) will grant you secondary if the two requirements are met exceptionally well (ex high mcat or high Gpa).

I say claims because I'm only reciting what posters have out on here in the school's thread.

You said that a 3.25 is a hard sGPA cutoff made by KCU...and I said: a 3.25 sGPA is NOT HARD. I mean we are trying to become doctors and be responsible of people's lives. A 3.25 indicates failed courses and/or many B's and C's. I would want the doctor treating me to meet at least the minimum requirements for medical school matriculation.

That's not what the question meant. "Hard" in this aspect means anything below a 3.25 is for sure going to screen you out. A "soft" cutoff is when admissions will consider other aspects of your application or your stats in order to "forgive" not meeting that cutoff.

KCU's is a bit stricter compared to VCOM's from what I've seen in the cycle. No matter what your MCAT score is (it can be a 33+) KCU will cut your app out if your GPA falls below a 3.25. I have seen VCOM applicants accepted below a 3.25 if they had other aspects of their application is strong.

FYI, KCU seems to be a bit more forgiving about the MCAT score (particularly in the VR section if it's below an 8) than the GPA. Idk why.

Lol... not what I meant
