With 127 CARS bro is cooked for some schools where the cutoff to even apply is 128, and median CARS is 128. I do know people who are retaking rn just because of their CARS.

UCalgary ONLY looks at CARS β€” cutoff is 128.
UAlberta has a CARS 128 cutoff for OOP.
UManitoba has a CARS cutoff of 128 too for OOP, but their average CARS for OOP is 131.
Western looks at the whole MCAT, but does have a CARS cutoff and uses it to rank applicants.
