Newbie1234 Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 Rejected 2nd yr B.A Honours Economics and IP 2 yr avg - 88.15% (1st yr 91.8, 2nd yr 84.5 (lol)) MCAT - 10PS 9VR 8BS & O (hahaha... good ol UofS and their ridiculously low MCAT flags) 1st time applying and was expecting a rejection yet feel a little dejected. Didn't practice the MMI very much, and went into it feeling moderately confident. BAD IDEA BTW! MUST PRACTICE!! I guess I blew it in the end. Don't know exactly where I blew it so it'll be hard to improve on specific areas. In the end though, the only bad part of this is that I've to repeat it ALL over again (esp. retaking the MCAT) and for multiple schools next time around. Life never gets "easier" I guess.... Anyways, good luck to the rest of you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joh Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 Waitlisted: IP, but went to school OOP and just finished my B.Sc.H. in Biology, best two years 86.5%, MCAT 13BS, 12PS, 11VR & P, 1st time applying. I had no idea how I did on the MMI but it apparently wasn't quite good enough. Also waitlisted at the Northern Ontario School of Medicine and Queen's. Does anyone know how long the waitlist is and how much it generally moves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joh Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 I'm on the waitlist and got an email this afternoon telling me what quintile I am in for the MMI. WOOHOO quintile 1!! Now I just have to cross my fingers that my marks are high enough. Does anyone know how they pick the best two years for people who are IP applicants but attended university OOP? Will they count the year that just finished? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SevenAges Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 I was wondering if those that haven't would mind posting how they did on the interview? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccoh Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 2nd Q, but don't know how it works for OOP's. the 2nd Q was in relation to everyone apparently, or so I gathered from the email. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatewaiting Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 1st Q, IP. Accepted May 17th. Overall 2-yr GPA I think was 86.6%. Not sure how they converted the marks, as I attended U of C where they use a 4 point scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UofS2010 Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 congrats surgimus! kwasko are you considered OOP?...the IP waitlist tends to only move a few spots, whereas the OOP waitlist tends to move quite a bit more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

momo Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 Oh dear...haven't been here in a year, too hard... but the good news is MOMO is IN!!! get to party with the cool kids now:) no idea what my 2 year was, but they were all A+'s - that said I'm out of province, so the scale is slightly different. I tried last year and did not get in - did really badly in the interview.... this year, accepted as OOP on first try - my theory is - wear fuzzy sweaters:) I gave up a crisp suit for a comfy sweater and voila! here I am I am very excited... congrats to everyone else in my class, see you in August!

momo Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 Thanks guys, for all the kind, wondeful, supportive words!! And congratulations to my new classmates, can't wait to meet you all:) And agentchris - I disappeared b/c I am a big wuss and couldn't handle the disappointment - plus I was going to give up applying, and I figured the best way was to totally distance myself - thanks to a very smart friend (yeah you know who you are!), I applied one more time... let's say I owe her a drink or four:) I am still waiting for the email that tells me they made a mistake:) Woohooooom * Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
