Accepted/Rejected/Waitlisted??? (for current applicants)

[Guest IAMTORONTONIAN]

I am on the waitlist at UWO (the only school I applied to)

 

I just finished my third year at U of T

 

My OMSAS GPA is 3.96 both years

I destroyed the MCAT (or should I say it destroyed me??)

Verbal: 9

Bio: 11

Phys: 9

WS: Q

 

My first choice is obviously UWO (great program, great ppl!)

[Guest bj]

Hi all,

 

I got accepted to Western, too. This was my first time applying to this school. However, I am going to make some waitlister happy ( ) because I am declining my offer in favour of U of T. I just got such a positive impression of U of T, the profs and students during my interview. And no, I am not super-competitive nor do I want to do a specialty in ENT (left nostril). At least not yet!

 

My MCAT was a fine 32-R and GPA somewhere around 3.75-3.80. I finished by BA in Environment and Health last year and have been working in research this past year.

 

Good luck to all waitlisters!

I'm an Ontario resident in undergraduate studies. My GPA was 3.99 and my MCAT scores were:

I was accepted by UWO. This is my first time applying to this school. I was also accepted by U of T and waitlisted at Queen's and Ottawa (good waitlist).

 

Of all the schools I applied to, UWO was my first choice and I am accepting their offer!

[Guest Clair Huxtable]

Ontario resident. finished Micro&Immu at UWO + 1 extended year. This is my second time applying.

 

GPA - 3.74

MCAT - V10, B11, P10, W Q

 

I was waitlisted at queens and UWO.

Just got off the list at UWO. I will be accepting.

[Guest Apna]

Currently waitlisted at UWO and Queens after being rejected by UBC, UofC, UofT (before interviews), and UofA (after bombing an interview).

 

I'm a UVic graduate (biology). My GPA on the 9-point scale was 7.95, which translates to 3.8 or so. My MCATs were V10/P10/B11/Q, which seem average now that I've seen some of the high scores out there.

 

I think my serious problem has been my lack of experience at the tender age of 20, as well as supreme nervousness at my first interview. Looking ahead to next year...

 

edited to remove questions...questions relocated to 'info on waitlist' thread to keep things tidy.

I guess I'll get things going...

I'm an Ontario resident and did my undergrad in Hon. Bio at WLU. I was accepted by Western. GPA was 3.89, MCAT

I'm still waiting to hear from Queen's, Toronto, Alberta, and if I'm waitlisted or rejected at Ottawa.

[Guest bruhaha]

Ontario resident, just finished 3rd year English Lit at Waterloo. This is my first time applying. GPA 3.94, MCAT P11, V12, B13, S. I have lots of extracurriculars but 0 research and pretty basic volunteering.

 

i've been accepted at Western and it's my first choice (I had a hankering for one of those blue jackets, but Queen's is too far to drive :b )

[Guest T dawg 2004]

So, I'm London-bound, it seems...

 

MCAT

Verbal: 9

Phys. Sci: 11

Bio. Sci: 10

Writing: Q

 

Best two years GPA: 3.74, 3.70 (i just made the cut-offs i think). (grad 2003 H.B.Sc. Immunology, U of T; then this year I'm at OISE/UT doing a B.Ed.)

 

I had a very good interview though, i think. I felt really good both during and after... I think the interview committee really was able to get a good sense of who I was and what I stood for. Best of all, I knew I belonged, I just knew that I had to let them know that - and apparently, I did!

[Guest deamd]

I am 3rd year western student - Bach. Med. Sci. Just got accepted, first try. Previous undergrad and graduate degrees...

 

GPA - HMMM..3.8?? (91 overall, 88 this last year - but give me a break! I just had a baby! Yay!)

 

MCATS:

 

V -10

P - 10

B - 12

W - R

 

Interview went really well, with lots of laughing and discussion..lots in common with the people.

Not sure if I am going to accept yet, we are trying to decide between Western and UBC...

 

Good luck all!

Hi everyone,

Like many others on this thread, I had an unbelievable interview experience. Though short (30 minutes), I truly felt like I was able to connect with the interviewers! Looking forward to meeting everyone in the fall!

I think I had a decent interview, we had some laughs and talked a little hockey My EC's are ok, no research or anything, but plenty of volunteer work... I'm only 21 though...

I might've done better if I had told them more about my accomplishments.

 

EDIT: I got into Queen's in the 23rd round of offers. Have a good time at Breast-ern kids~!

[Guest RageoftheDragon]

Waitlisted.

2 years GPA: 3.78 and 3.86. B.Sc. Hon. Microbiology at UofS.

MCAT: V9, P10, B11, WT.

Interview was ok. Never felt anything special out of it. The community member and I had a common interest in politics, and I completely misheard the student and answered a question she never really asked, but she still liked what she heard:lol .

I'm waiting to hear from UofS as well, but hoping for UWO.
