happy92 Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 Time Stamp: 9:29 Accepted/Waitlisted/Regrets: regrets GPA: 3.9 second degree ecs: varied, nothing longer than 3/4 years Context: on the weak side, 7 year in nwo Interview: first time applying- I was shocked to receive an interview in the first place (I am sure it was shocking to many the first time). I thought it went ok, in a couple of stations I was defiantly nervous. And I know a couple I really aced. Overall, it was not strong enough to compensate for the context and ecs perhaps. For future applicants, my advice is to prepare - nothing crazy because I think it's easy to tell when one has a formula for answering questions...I could have prepared better (to learn how to use the 2 minutes wiser, to accumulate more knowledge of the health care system and other topics). Be careful it may be easy to come up with excuses why you haven't prepared, but really you just have to believe in yourself and do it. Not avoid it. This is very dissapointing because this is the first year I could apply (second degree) and it is also the last year that they calculated two separate degrees and took the higher. Now they will calculate all of you grades, and I basically have to some how battle with 4 years of really bad grades. Congratulations and best of luck H.

MDwannabe02 Posted May 10, 2017 Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 Time Stamp: 8:38 am EDT Accepted/Waitlisted/Regrets: Accepted GPA: 3.79 + MSc(PT) = 3.99 ECs: Grew up in ++rural and remote NWO community. New grad PT in neuro rehab; Campus EMS (4 years); coached hockey, soccer, and baseball for kids in my home community; substitute teacher and EA (in super rural NWO you don't have to be a teacher to get part-time substitute work); volunteered in local private physio clinic (1 year); undergrad research project (nothing published or particularly rigorous) and physio school research project (qualitative research - again nothing substantial or published); first aid instructor in my home community in NWO; and NWO placement and academic unit through NOSM while in physio school. Perhaps more, but those are the main ones I remember without referring to my application. Decision (will you accept your offer)? Already got on SAM on the OMSAS site and hit "firm accept" Campus: West Fifth application over a six year period since 2012. I won't go on about how happy I am to get in because I've been rejected post-interview 4 times, and I know how it stings to read those. Was #26 on the 2013 wait-list (when they still ranked us) and got flat out post-interview rejected every other year until now. If you really want to go to NOSM, do what you need to do to make it happen. For me, it was starting another health care career and finding a passion for rehabilitation and how medicine can help. If you want this to happen, find a way to make it so. Easier said than done, I know. But you can do it if you really want it! bornandraised, crazyye, 5th time the charm and 14 others 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momMD2B Posted May 12, 2017 Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 Time Stamp: 8:27 am ACCEPTED!!! (Sudbury campus) GPA: 3.92 Context: Have lived in Northern Ontario for the past 16 years. ECs: So many varied non-traditional experiences yet they all have given me a wide range of transferable skills... 3rd time applying! I am ecstatic, teary, and in a state of disbelief. This has been my dream for so long. For waitlisters and those who did not get in this year, don't give up!! For any other non-traditional, older applicants, moms or dads dreaming of medical school, keep pursuing your dreams. With a lot of hard work, determination, and an unwavering passion for medicine, it can be done. nwo_tbay, MDwannabe02, rural_roots and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cookiejar Posted May 10, 2022 Report Share Posted May 10, 2022 Hey everyone, I received an offer on omsas at midnight, as well as this morning via email. Context: this was my 4th year applying, 4th year interviewing, and I have slowly faded from trad to non-trad during this time. I've gotten rejected every cycle to date - not even waitlisted, until now. I’m so used to rejection on this day, I don’t even feel like it’s real!! I’ve been checking this forum for years thinking “that will never be me.” If you didn't get accepted this year, keep applying, one year it could work out in your favour, especially if you've already gotten an interview! Time stamp: 7:47 AM EST Decision: Offer GPA: 3.73 Context: grew up in small town in Northern Ontario town Year: Fall 2022 Previous applications: 3 (2018-interviewed/rejected, 2020-interviewed/rejected, 2021-interviewed/rejected) Hope this information helps, and gives hope to future applicants!
