Hey guys, i am new here and i was just wondering what are my chances if i have 3.17 cgpa and 2.9 sgpa i am taking the mcat in june i applied for september2007 about 2 1/2 weeks ago got a postcard and haven't heard anything since. what score do i need to get on the mcat in order to have a chance?

how much emphasis does ross put on where you went to undergrad? i'm asking b/c i graduated from a top ten school, but not with the best stats...

overall GPA - 3.1
science - 2.8
mcat - 21Q

what do you guys think? any help would be much appreciated! thanks

Well, the mcat is suppose to set everyone on an equal playing field as far as subject mastery goes. So, regardless if you went to a top school and your gpa isn't as good as you would like, the fact is that it isn't made up for with the mcat. However, many admissions add a certain number of points to your GPA based on the quality of the institution. So, that would be something I would want to know because it could increase your overall GPA. Call Ross admissions. They can tell you. I think you could probably still get in as long as you have something on your application that stands out, such as research exp. or an internship. Good luck.

Hi,

My stats are:

2.9 Cum GPA
31 MCAT
Chemical Engineering Bachelors
Lots of Volunteering

What do you think are my chances?

Nice MCAT. You shouldn't have any trouble, but there's only one way to find out.

2.9 Cumulative
2.8 Science
15O MCAT (2 in verbal, 6 PS, 7 **)
B.S. in Biology
Currently in pharmacy school (2nd year), cum gpa pharmacy: 2.25
Just had my interview today, it went pretty ok (not great but ok).

My interviewer said they'd get back to me in about 2 weeks.

I applied for May, think I have a chance waitlisted till sept or merp in april at least?

I will come to Ross in this Sep. Are you truely satisfied with your experience with Ross, i mean, in terms of the tuition, teaching quality, outlook of your career in the U.S.? I started to question myself if it will work for me. I know it's too late now for me to change my mind because I already paid $1000 deposit. I just want to be more convinced by people like who went through and did not regret about this tough choice. In your mind, what qualities of ross students are competitive with students in the states? Do you need to be super good and nearly perfect in order to survive for competing with students in the states? Or as long as you pass everything in ross, you'll have the future in the U.S.?

I recently just applied for the fall 2007 class, my stats are: 3.6 GPA and a 23M on the MCATs. What are my chances? Also, for those of you that have got accepted for the fall what are your stats that got you in.

There is already a thread for this quesion but I would say you wouldn't have to worry too much
