Aria Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 Result: Refused wGPA: 3.68 (BSc in a professional degree so would have got a slight boost) MCAT: No ECs: MPH, extensive public health work Year: Graduated from MPH 3 years ago, working full time, CDC internship in South America, lots of community service, underserved pop oriented activities. Felt ECs were good and written well IP/OOP/International: IP Letter of EC: No Knew my GPA was low but still had hope. But it's ok since I have 2 MD acceptances in USA.

Applicant95 Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 TIME STAMP: 11:58 Result: Invite! cGPA: 3.84 MCAT: 524 ECs: Below average I think. Lots of diverse experiences (have written a novel, made a short film, budget/solo travelling, volunteering) but little research. Year: MSc Casper: I *thought* it went below average, but I ended up getting interviews to Mac, Manitoba, and McGill despite my GPA being a bit lower than average so it must have went well. I didn't prepare for CASPer at all, but I am luckily a fast typer so I guess that helped IP/OOP/International: OOP (Ontario) Letter of EC: Yes Honestly was not expecting this at all, so I'm feeling very fortunate. For those who were rejected, I honestly feel that med school in Canada is sooooo competitive and that so much of it is luck of the draw. Hang in there! Still 6ish schools to hear back from!

They're going to email you tonight or tomorrow @Actto and there will be a link to fill in a form for them to send your ranking, which will likely only actually be sent to you by email in mid-June. You shouldn't say the result was expected! Anything is possible with 3.70 and up provided you do well enough on the Casper and have a strong enough CV. Good luck in the future!
