Result: Accepted
Geography: IP
GPA: Less than 3.5 (undergrad) ....I know right!
MCAT: 506
Degree: BSc and MSc
E.C: Volunteer with youth, sports and coach and lifeguarding. Last year, I also got an interview.
Interview: This was my second interview at U of A, after being on the waitlist for U of C in 2017 (no subsequent interviews there)! Last year, I was likely low on the list as I was offered an interview after the original offers came out, so I was already lacking confidence going into it. This year, I just went in and was myself. I approached it with the attitude that if they don't like me, I m not going to fit in here. During the interview, it felt really good and afterward I remember second guessing everything I said.
Seriously, this process is so subjective and long! Keep your chin up and surround yourself with encouraging friends. Good luck everyone and I can't wait to meet everyone in August!
