AGPA stands for Adjusted Grade Point Average.
MCAT stands for Medical College Admissions Test.
When Henya wrote the MCAT it was a North America wide
standard test which compared a student's knowldege in physics,
chemistry and biology, to all other students in North America,
and which compared a student's verbal reasoning ability and
writing ability to all other students in North America.
PAS stands for Personal Assessment Score
The Faculty of Medicine's Applicant Information Bulletin clearly
stated that applicants from Manitoba (who were not special
admission applicants) would have their admissions score
calculated as follows: AGPA 15% MCAT 40% PAS 45%.
It also stated that the PAS would be calculated based on:
(1) information provided by the applicants,
(2) the applicant's referee reports, and
(3) interview scores.
Information provided by the applicant meant information about what
the applicant had done and achieved before applying to medicine.
Referee reports was a fancy way of saying the applicant's letters of reference.
The interview scores meant what they received in their interviews.
The Applicant Information Bulletin indicated no difference in value
between those three factors. Therefore, as those three factors
together were worth 45%, each of them was worth one-third of 45%
which is 15%.
In any event, as will be seen from the documents below, Henya's
prior work experience and awards earned her a much higher than
average information provided by the applicant score, and her proven
MCAT verbal reasoning score, in the top 1% in all of North America,
meant that her interview scores would be among the highest of all
applicants. As will be seen later on this page, according to the
creator (McMaster University) of the interview method used (MMI),
a person's verbal reasoning score is inexorably tied to the score
that they will receive in the MMI interviews; hence according to the
inventor of the MMI Henya had to score very close to the top 1%
in the MMI interviews being used by the Faculty of Medicine.
No-one submits a bad reference letter, hence they would be of
negligible affect, if they were used at all; the bulletin states they
only may be included; if they are not included then the applicant
information and the interview scores would be worth (45 / 2) =
22.5% each. Hence, even if the Faculty of Medicine weighted
the three components of the PAS differently than 15% each, Henya
earned a much higher PAS than most of the applicants that were
admitted; as her interview scores had to be among the highest of
all applicants and her personal information was outstanding (a life
guard for many years who had saved lives, a swimming instructor
for everyone from infants to adults to special needs, and winner of
the award for best all-round student in her high school, which
award was give out by the university whose Faculty of Medicine
Henya had applied to).
To try and conceal their illegal and dishonest actions the university
refused to provide PAS score information and even refused to explain
how they determined the PAS scores. (A hallmark of honesty is
openness, a strong indication of dishonesty is concealment.)
The Faculty of Medicine did release the AGPA and MCAT scores of
the applicants that they admitted.

The Faculty of Medicine's letter of December 7, 2010, which is shown
later on this page, states that Henya earned an AGPA of 4.12 and
an adjusted MCAT of 10.8.
Henya's actual MCAT was 11, but they adjusted it down to 10.8.
Using the Faculty of Medicine's own listed scores for Henya,
she achieved a total AGPA + MCAT score of:
(4.12 x 15%) + (10.8 x 40%) = 49.38
...........................................................................................................................................
Therefore, based on the Faculty of Medicine's Applicant Information Bulletin
scoring formula Henya achieved a higher score than at least two-thirds
of the applicants they admitted instead of Henya in her combined AGPA
and MCAT scores.

A median score means the score that is in the middle of all of the scores.
In other words, there were just as many people who received a score LOWER than the median as there were people who received a score HIGHER than the median.
Therefore, as the Faculty of Medicine let in about 99 regular Manitoba applicants, there were 49 regular Manitoba applicants whose score was lower than the median score and 49 whose
score was higher than the median score.
Hence, if Henya had achieved the median score, then by the Faculty of Medicine's own admission, 49 regular Manitoba applicants who they let in had a lower score than Henya.
HOWEVER, Henya achieved a higher score than the median score of all regular Manitoba applicants that they let in instead of Henya. As calculated above, Henya's score was: 49.38.
The median score of all regular Manitoba applicants let in was:
(4.17 x 15%) + (10.55 x 40%) = 48.45
Henya also achieved a higher score than the mean score
of all regular Manitoba applicants that they let in instead of Henya.
The mean score of all regular Manitoba applicants let in was:
(4.15 x 15%) + (10.61 x 40%) = 48.78
Therefore, whether you use the mean score or the median score,
in the AGPA and MCAT portions, Henya's score of 49.38
placed her in about the TOP 33 of all 99 regular Manitoba
applicants that they let in instead of Henya.
Regarding Henya's personal information, she won the U of M's own Chown Scholarship for being the best all-round student who graduated from her high school. Henya also had excellent work evaluations from her responsible job as a life-guard and swimming instructor in Manitoba s largest aquatic facility. Her record included having saved lives and having taught every level of student, including children, adults and special needs.
As proven, Henya's combined AGPA + MCAT scores put her in
the top 33% of the applicants in the Manitoba and Out-of-
Province Applicant Pool, which is the applicant pool that she
was in. There were about 99 applicants admitted from that
applicant pool.
Therefore, Henya's combined AGPA + MCAT scores were higher
than 66 students that they admitted instead of Henya.
Consequently, it was impossible for Henya to have scored so
very poorly in the PAS that it would have lowered her by
66 positions in a pool of only 99 positions.

As an aside: I have gone on record as stating that the MMI is invalid and cannot predict anything, and that the MMI is illegal as it violates the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms in the Canadian Constitution, and violates the United States Constitution, and violates the U.N.'s Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Therefore, the MMI should be abolished as being useless and illegal. However, as useless and illegal as it is, according to its inventor, McMaster University, it provides the same result as does the Verbal Reasoning portion of the MCAT. Therefore, Henya's real MMI score is very high as her MCAT Verbal Reasoning score placed her in the top 1% in all of North America.

The Faculty of Medicine refused to release information on how Henya's MMI interview score was calculated.
If the Faculty of Medicine had recorded a correct and honest score for Henya they would have no hesitation in stating how her MMI score was determined.
The Faculty of Medicine knows that Henya's correct MMI score is very high, for the following reason.
The interview used was called the Multi Mini Interview ("MMI").
It was invented by McMaster University. McMaster STATED that the MMI and the Verbal Reasoning portion of the MCAT predict the same thing; they both predict how well an applicant will do many years later on a test called the MCCQE Part II.
Therefore, according to the inventor of the MMI, which was the interview method used by the Faculty of Medicine, it is NOT possible to score exceptionally high on the Verbal Reasoning portion of the MCAT, which would predict that you would do well on MCCQE Part II, and simultaneously do poorly on the MMI, because that would predict the exact opposite (ie. that you would do poorly on the MCCQE Part II).
Consequently, as Henya did better on the Verbal Reasoning Portion of the MCAT than 99% of the applicants the Faculty of Medicine admitted, she would have also done better on the MMI than most of the applicants the Faculty of Medicine admitted, because according to McMaster (the inventor of the MMI), both the MMI and Verbal Reasoning of the MCAT predict the same thing.
The above is verified by the below documents.

Below you will see the Faculty of Medicine's December 7, 2010 letter to me, Shawn David Olfman. It was in response to my letter to Dr. Martin of the Faculty of Medicine. In my letter I calculated Henya's composite score using the scoring formula published in the Faculty of Medicine's own Applicant Information Bulletin, which is that the adjusted MCAT and AGPA are 40% and 15% respectively.
In paragraph E of his letter, Dr. Martin clearly states that the Faculty of Medicne used a formula that was in contradistinction to the scoring formula published by the Faculty of Medicine in their own Applicant Information Bulletin, which is the formula that I used. Therefore the Faculty of Medicine freely admitted that they illegally and unethically did not use their own publshed scoring formula.
When I asked the Faculty of Medicine to show me the formula that they claim to have used, the Faculty of Medicine REFUSED. The University Senate committee acquiesced in the Faculty of Medicine's refusal to reveal the formula they claim to have used, instead of using their own Applicant Information Bulletin s published formula.
The fact that the Faculty of Medicine, with the University Senate's acquiescence, refused to produce the formula which they claim to have used demonstrates that they simply discriminated against Henya. If the Facutly of Medicine had a legal formula which they used they would have no reason to be ashamed of what they had done.
The lies used by the universities to cover up their discrimination would become visible if they had to present what they did in open court or before a Parliamentary Inquire or a Congressional Investigative Hearing, and that is why the university and the government had to prevent a trial; and why public inquiries are not being held, and why the media had to lie to do a cover up.
