Accepted/Rejected/Waitlisted??? (for current applicants)

[apt]

Accepted in UoO, Queens & Mac.......UoT was my first choice. I am forced to decide between UoO & Queens. Mac was obviously the last resort.

 

I hate UoT for rejecting me.......

[Lebowski]

hey apt, did you actually get a rejection email? or do you just mean waitlisted?

[apt]

I did not hear from UoT at all..

PS I think a facebook group is a good idea

[premed90210]

I agree, a facebook group is a great idea. I think last year the 1T0's started the facebook group for the 1T1's in May. But if anyone wants to start a group, I'm in! I am really excited to meet you all next year!

[OverMyHead]

For the information of future applicants:

 

I'm originally from Victoria, BC and just finished 4th year of my BSc in Biology at UVic. This is my first time applying to medical schools.

 

I applied at: UBC, UofC, UofT, and Queen's

I interviewed at UBC, UofC, UofT, and Queen's

I was accepted at: UBC and U of T

Waitlisted by: UofC and Queen's (EDIT: Accepted off U of C waitlist)

 

I will be accepting U of T's offer.

 

 

My Undergrad GPA (based on my first 3 years) was: 3.86 (OMSAS), not sure of my weighted GPA but it would have dropped 2 B+'s and MCAT (VR/PS/W/BS): 13/12/S/14

 

I don't really have any research experience other than a research-based course this past semester. Never done any hospital or health-based volunteering.

 

Long and wide-ranging volunteer and extracurricular history with some pretty random things (i.e. dog showing!), lots of stuff through Scouts Canada, and international travel and volunteer work. Just goes to show that there's not necessarily a "cookie-cutter" ideal applicant, I guess!

 

See everyone in a few months!

[andrewg]

looking at this thread is incredibly frightening!

you people have MONSTROUS stats!! wow...

quite a few 40+/4.0 MCAT/GPAers here

 

[zztop]

I know. All 3.9ers and above... even for the steep OMSAS GPA conversion system. Yikes

[CAS]

what's even sadder is that these people are only averaging 1-2 acceptances!

if this were the states, they'd be getting multitudes of scholarships and free rides

 

regardless, looking at this makes me think i may be screwed for UT

 

again...
