SWOMEN applicant, 4th year undergraduate from the University of Windsor. Just graduated from the Behaviour, Cognition, and Neuroscience program.
OMSAS cGPA: 3.92 (best 2 years is higher)

Rejected pre-interview: UofT & Calgary

UWO was my top choice! I got kind of depressed in the morning after one rejection and 2 WL's, but this so makes up for it!
ECs: doctor shadowing on/off for a year or so, 4 years of research (including an honours thesis, 3 conference presentations, authorship on several abstracts accepted at conferences, 2 NSERCs, one summer and several semesers of paid research work, no publications), 2 years as an advisor at the UWindsor advising centre, long-term member of a student club (1 exec position in it) and then some hobbies: guitar and frisbee mainly. Never stepped foot in a hospital.
Getting into medical school is a long journey and a multi-step process. Tackle each step one at a time. Like many others, I've dreamt of being able to post in this thread. Now I'm proudly doing so as a member of the class of 2015!!!!!!!
Can't wait to meet both my Windsor and London counterparts! It's going to be a great four years everyone!
