OOP Accepted off the waitlist this morning
Score: 74.45
MCAT was 515 with a 130 CARS
ECs/General attributes : lots of research experience with one pub and a bunch in the works, work at a research centre, Master of Public Health from UofT, public health placement in Labrador, Reviewer for the journal Youth Engagement in Health Promotion, supervised a Masters student, worked on a cross-Canada KT workplace intervention project, worked as a Charge Nurse and PSW in a retirement home.
This has been my dream for over a decade. During my Masters I decided against medicine, but came back to it last year and know this is the path for me. As a 25 year old who hadn't studied the basic sciences in 8 years, studied, retook the MCAT and applied to 10 schools across Canada. Only interviewed at Dal and I am overjoyed to be going there.
Waitlisters, keep your heads up!
