  1. Official OSAP application is now live for 2019-2020 school year. Given that the new calculator is a bit off, I am curious to see exactly how much the new changes have impacted 'independent' students (out of high school >6 years). How much are you guys getting as independent medical students with low income & low assets?
  2. What does this come out to after-tax, other administrative fees, and call stipends (on average)?
  3. On average, how much do 2018 PGY1 residents in Ontario make after tax?
  4. Posting stats for future cycles: Result: Waitlist. Did not end up getting that life-changing phone call from Chantel. wGPA: 3.98 Casper: Felt really good, although we don't get a score so maybe I just passed the Ottawa Casper cutoff. ECs: Diverse. Hit all the Canmeds nicely. Interview: The Panel was challenging. Got off to a rocky start and despite having some solid answers in the middle, I don't think my performance was good enough to recover. Geography: IP (English stream)
  5. Posting stats for future cycles: Result: Wait-listed. Did not end up getting the elusive acceptance phone call. wGPA: 3.99 Ec's: Diverse. Hit most of the clusters with the ABS essays. Essays: Thought they were great at the time but looking back on them this year, they weren't anything special. Just answered the questions; not very personal. Interview: 1 station felt amazing, 2 were average, 1 was cringe-worthy. I guess the final result makes sense.
  6. Keep in mind, McGill takes into consideration academic context in their assessment. Academics are 70% of your pre-interview score and context makes up 10% of that academic score, meaning that context is a whopping 7% of your file score! This past cycle, I applied to McGill with a 3.98 GPA yet due to having a not so strong academic context, I was ranked around 150/700 for academics (they disclose this if you email them asking for your rank). I'm not exactly sure how they score context but it seems having a graduate degree or taking hard humanities classes helps. If you think your coursework has been difficult, I would definitely apply because you might have a really strong context score!
