thepineapple Posted October 18, 2018 Report Share Posted October 18, 2018 I'm OOP too (Ontario) and haven't heard back from them yet. Hopefully they'll do a second round of invites if some people reject the original invite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thepineapple Posted October 18, 2018 Report Share Posted October 18, 2018 If you don't mind me asking, what are you application stats UWCC? I had decent stats in applying which is why i'm feeling a little sad. I was really hoping for Dal because they see my best GPA with the last 2 years policy GPA: 3.89 (since they only look at the last 2 years, it works out in my favour big time) MCAT: 508 ECs/Research: Excellent. 3 papers and lots of research within my undergrad, lots of long-term extracurriculars Awards: some good ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHG Posted October 18, 2018 Report Share Posted October 18, 2018 I am OOP (Ontario) and received my interview invite at 2:20pm today! I'm assuming a second round will be sent out in case people turn down their invites? MCAT: 514 GPA: 3.9 Maritime essay: mostly about family connections ECs: Varsity sport, music, part time job since high school. No research.

lombardio Posted October 18, 2018 Report Share Posted October 18, 2018 I'm OOP had 4.0 and 518 MCAT, a solid maritime essay and got no interview. I expected it tbh, med schools hate OOPs and expect them to jump ridiculous hurdles. It was 589 OOPs competing for 15 spots, and it was mainly based on the maritime essay after meeting cut offs. The admission process (especially for OOPs) is complete bullsh*t, and I'm pretty relieved I don't have to think about this school anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doob Posted October 18, 2018 Report Share Posted October 18, 2018 Did people fill out there interview time preference, pay, and take their pic already? In the email it states that selections should be made between the 19th and 26th, but i notice it doesn't prevent you from picking now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maritime Connection: I believed that this was strong, as half of my family is from the Maritimes, and they have lived there continuously for a very VERY long time. Myself and my immediate family (I was born and raised outside of region) remain closely tied to them - we visited many times, we keep in touch. My essay was personal/emotional, but also directly stated my motivations for wanting to study and work in the Maritimes. I'm upset, but I know the competition is insane. Maybe the essay didn't sit well with the reviewer...maybe it was too honest or personal in a sense? I am not sure... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a very emotional maritime connection essay, parts of which I used for my Western ABS sketch. Depending on how this goes I might re-think my strategy towards writing essays for medical schools.
