My marks arent that great..OMG. Dude im soo worried. My overall average has dropped like 4%, and the cutoff last year was 87%. My average right now is an 86.5. Im not even getting higher than the cutoff. I really hope i get into this program, i really dont want to go to U of T or Western. I've heard so much about Mac and ive been to all its tours(2 so far).  frown |

Wow, I hope thats true. Whats so special about Mac's life sci program versus other life sci programs at diff uni's like Western or queens? I mean you learn the same stuff, same courses? Why do people wanna go to one uni over another? Personally I chose Mac because of its campus and residence.

Pretty sure Queens and U of T are more difficult universities, when it comes to life science and probably other programs as well. You just learn more, and earlier/faster.

The cut-off last year wasnt 87. My conditional offer was 84. You'll get in don't worry. Life Sci is like the catch-all science program  |

But when did you get it? Late? It's likely you were in the second or third round with an average that low, and people have already rejected Life Sci for something else (so they lowered the cut off to fill spots). |

Conditional offer =/= cut-off.
That is all. |
