UWOMedSci16 Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 Result: InviteGPA: 4.0MCAT: 517 (128/129/129/131)Year: 4th year ECs: A few activities with a lot of hours, a little research but not a lot related to health care. I devoted a lot of time to a few activities I enjoy (sports, etc) so my app isn't typical of a pre-med.
