Molecular Biology and Genetics
So at the undergrad program fair, the lady told me the minimum cut off last year for molecular bio and genetics was 8.5. I was wondering if you guys know anyone who got in with an average less than this?

If that is the cutoff for that year, then no one would have got in with an average lower--that's the definition of a cutoff. In other years (possibly also this year), the cutoff may have been lower, so people with lower averages would have been able to get in. I think last year had one of the higher cutoffs, though.

Last year was pretty crazy from what I heard, a lot of people were totally blindsided because the cutoffs jumped.

Yeah, the programs wasn't well known in when my year applied because it was new. They combined multiple programs together to make MBG. I don't recall seeing much information about the program at the time. Just the fact that there was genetics made me apply to it. That's probably why the cut-off was so low compared to last year.
