see the MSAR!

 

[Svidrillion]

For those schools that are primarily interested in in-state residents, obviously that would be a criterion for screening.

Do some schools also use gpa and MCAT cut-offs or what?

 

[Bluntman]

Do some schools also use gpa and MCAT cut-offs or what?

Yes. Sometimes the two are even weighted and combined into an academic composite score, and then that is screened with a cut-off.

Do you have any idea what those cut-offs look like for any schools?

 

[Bluntman]

Do you have any idea what those cut-offs look like for any schools?

Not off hand. If I had to guess, I'd say somewhere around a 29 MCAT and a 3.4 GPA for the UCs. For more concrete numbers, check out mdapps to get the stats of some sample people that got rejected pre-secondary or actually did get a secondary from a particular school that screens. UCs are a good group to browse since they all do screen.

Do you have any idea what those cut-offs look like for any schools?

Depends on the school. I know for UWashington any in-state person with a 3.5 GPA and 27 is guaranteed an interview and probably much lower for secondaries.

 

[ltrain]

hey guys, does anyone know if they screen with the BCPM gpa or overall? or different schools do it differently?

anyone know the veracity of this list?

 

[RDood]

Some schools, like U of M, even grant interviews automatically based on MCAT and/or GPA
That list seems consistent with my 15 schools, but folks need to remember residency requirements, and also remember that things change from year to year. For instance, Michigan State has historically screened at secondaries, but this year gave out all (but it was a lame-o no supplementary info, give us 50 dollars to even look at you secondary).

 

[yabbadabbadoo]

sweet.. well, more screened secondaries makes me feel better about myself. roffle.

 

[Haemulon]

Pittsburgh screens???

 

[narc]

Pittsburgh screens???

No

 

[Haemulon]

No

Thanks. I didn't think so.

 

[yabbadabbadoo]

Thanks. I didn't think so.

dammit. two shot down.

 

[pipetwoman2006]

I actually have a question regarding schools that send out secondaries without screening. Say you make a typo on your primary or some other mistake...is that forgiven if they send you a secondary, or will they just look at it later, decide you're a *******, and reject you? And yes, this is totally from my own experience b/c I just realized that I should have stopped being anal about editing my EC section before I made mistakes that weren't there in the first place

 

[yabbadabbadoo]

does university of florida really screen?? (can anyone confirm)
