aliddaw Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 March 30th at 3:00 p.s how is everyone calculating their GPAs because I see lots like 3.75 and 3.72 but I can only find whole numbers like 3.7 and 3.9 on the OMSAS website. Thanks! I converted each of my grades in a spreadsheet to the corresponding number on the 4.0 scale, and then took an average of all of those.

Underdog20 Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 Not too sure what order and how McMaster sends out their emails, but I do hope they give all students who applied the courtesy of an email about their result (some students were not emailed last year). Students work hard on their application, and pay a good sum of money to apply, any email would be appreciated. I am still waiting for an email, but I will now be focusing on my extracurriculars/finals instead of checking these forums/email regularly.

danijaq Posted March 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 Underdog, I totally agree...if I don't get an email I will be very insulted. Not to mention I wasted money on applying without even an email in return. I will follow your lead and focus on finals since I spent way too much energy checking emails and forums today. Good luck to you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BioStudent12 Posted April 1, 2016 Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 I can't imagine them not emailing you, if you haven't heard anything in the next week, send them an email or phone and ask. I had an issue two weeks ago with them losing my transcript, and as a result they emailed me to tell me that I was ineligible because my application was incomplete. I cleared it up with them, it was their fault not mine, but I did receive a reply for both that and my wait-listed status. Also check your MacPortal status to see if anything has changed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just saw a lot of people on last years forum saying "well the interviews are over and I still haven't gotten an email. I just I didn't make it." I hope they'll respond to all this year but it would suck if they don't! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danijaq Posted April 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 Just spoke to the school... Apparently the admissions officer for the program has been sick since Wednesday and only sent out the first round of emails/rejections on mosaic. We should be expecting a change on mosaic (which will generate an email) by Wednesday. Hope that helps everyone who's still waiting for a reply! Good luck to all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underdog20 Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 For those waiting a response, updates may have been sent on your mosaic. I didn't make the cut. Was expecting at least an interview since my stats are similar to those accepted/interviewed. I think the competitiveness may have improved this application cycle.

rural_roots Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 Hi everyone, I have cancelled my upcoming interview this weekend for the Mac PA program and hope that one of you premed101 waitlisters will now be given a shot. After much thought, I have decided to work on nursing as my Plan B for medicine as I would really want to get to a place where I could practice independently. Was thinking of still going to the interview this weekend simply to generate another opportunity for myself, but if my mind is made up now I thought it unfair to take the opportunity away from someone who was 100% into being a PA. Good luck to all of you. RR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khan85 Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 I wanted to add that I have also forfeited my McMaster interview spot due to my u of t acceptance. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcpruchn Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 Has anyone heard back from Mac yet? I'm very stressed out. They said 10 business days and still nothing. I got accepted to UoT as well but they want an answer tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
udelee Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 Has anyone heard back from Mac yet? I'm very stressed out. They said 10 business days and still nothing. I got accepted to UoT as well but they want an answer tomorrow. I haven't heard anything. My interview was May 16th (I think it might have been the last day of interviews) and they said we should find out by the end of the month. You could always call and explain that UofT needs to know by tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliddaw Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 To everyone who is considering accepting U of T, it's my understanding that you have to return the form in the mail with a $500 dollar tuition deposit by tomorrow or they can cancel your offer. Just thought I'd give you a heads up that if you choose to do so you'll have to express post it by today at the latest, or hand deliver! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fitnesspaddler Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 I haven't heard back yet. I thought we were supposed to hear back by the end of May, but I guess we'll have to wait a bit longer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fitnesspaddler Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 I suppose everyone has heard back by now. Congratulations to those who were accepted! I've been waitlisted and I'm wondering if there's anyone else here in the same situation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
