GPA: 3.94

MCAT: 14PS/12VR/14BS/S

[elshnig]

Honours Neuro/Psych major, Theatre Minor

 

cGPA: 4.0

MCAT: 39Q VR: 12, B: 13, P: 14

 

Extra-currix: generalist sports activities, NSERC research and other early experiences, a few publications (one first-author), student government/outreach endeavors. Also volunteering in health care both within and outside hospital settings. A few odds and ends.

 

A word to future applicants: I'm convinced that it's the quirky little things about a person's application that ultimately distinguishes it (beyond the broad-sweeping categories like research and volunteerism which are often important for first-pass looks but may not do much for differentiating between applicants). Find something particular to you, a peculiar interest, cause or pursuit and make it ring! Lead with your strengths. I spent most of this application cycle with blinders on trying not to look at what anyone else was doing because I didn't want to have to manage MORE uncertainty. I think that helped sanity-wise.

 

Good luck! Be well.
