I haven`t really posted on these forums but reading posts throughout the application process reminded me that I wasn`t alone. I don't log on very often but I will check my messages more frequently for the next few weeks if anyone has any questions . Result: rejected (2016), Accepted into VFMP (2017) GPA: 88.86% AQ: 29.96 NAQ: 26.41 TFR: 56.37 MCAT: 511 (2015), 512 (2016 - 128/125/128/131) - Improving my MCAT by a single point in CARS on my second attempt was pretty rough considering the hard work I put in the second time round. Much of this work was undermined by the fact that I didn't sleep a single minute the night before the exam. If you're considering rewriting the MCAT, no matter what the result, acknowledge the significance of choosing to sacrifice an entire summer to study for the MCAT lol.... you know you actually want to pursue med school at that point Interview: below average (2016) After the interview I felt pretty good. Some of the questions were pretty tough, but I just acknowledged that during the stations and had fun with it (maybe a little bit too much fun - but I will not disclose details as much as I'd like to lol). I walked out of there happy that I didn't BS or have a nervous breakdown, to me that was something to be happy about because I figured my personality and composure would score me some points. It was a long journey full of doubt but the process was necessary. Getting rejected last year allowed me time away from academics after completing my bachelors to evaluate whether or not this is the correct path for me. I gained extensive clinical experience over the past year which made the wait so much more bearable. To everyone that got rejected this year, use it as an opportunity to do something your passionate about. Give yourself time to recuperate, but do not let this result define you. Improve your application by doing the things you love, and stay grounded throughout the entire process. I am entering the program with clinical experience and maturity that I would not have had if I had gotten in last year. There is ALWAYS a silver lining - you got this.

Hey everyone, I was hoping someone could give me some advice. I just received my MCAT scores back today and I received a 512 (128/125/128/131). This limits my potential options to UBC (already applied as IP), Queens, and McMaster (I feel like I have no shot at U of T so not going to bother). At Queens using the 2-year rule, I have a 3.88 GPA. I have a cGPA of 3.83. I have good extra-curriculars (but a small amount of research experience). Should I apply? Fortunately, money is not an issue, but I would prefer to be realistic. Also, I would like to confirm that both McMaster and Queens have reference letter deadlines of Dec 1 and Nov 1 respectively and not Oct 1st as OMSAS indicates. This entire process is new to me! Thank you for reading my post
