Excited for y'all who got good news! Ottawa is awesome! Hope that makes it easier for those on the waitlist :D

Interview: I felt that I answered all of the ethical questions well, but didn't feel that they got a good sense of who I am as a person so I was honestly doubting that I would be admitted...I guess it worked out just fine in the end! Panel was friendly. Beyond excited.  :) Congrats all!

Interview: Did not answer some questions as well as I would have liked to.. may have completely bombed one question actually.. but at least I knew I was able to give them a good sense of my personality just by way of using non-verbal cues (how I spoke, sat, used my hands, etc.)

Does anyone know how we can know our ranking on the waitlist? Can we ask them?

 

They said as candidates become accepted off the waitlist, your ranking will change, don't ask us for this reason. But can we ask our original ranking?

wGPA: 3.97

Interview: Felt really confident, thought it went well! I had a pretty interactive and friendly panel. Like any interview though, I wondered after if maybe I rambled too much on some questions but I guess that didn't make a difference!

Time stamp: May 12, 7 something AM

Result: Bad waitlisted

Location: Ontario

wGPA: 3.90+

Stream: English (bilingual)

ECs: Nothing too extraordinary and I doubt reading my ECs will help future applicants. As cliched as it sounds, I think it helps to pursue long-term activities that you are passionate about, while also exposing yourself to the clinical professions and scientific research. More important than anything is being able to convey really well the skills you learned/displayed through your ECs in your autobiographical sketch. I highly encourage future applicants to check out the CanMeds competencies. They were my bread and butter for this application cycle. Be sure to show how you displayed the CanMeds roles through the acitivites that you list on your sketch - it definitely made a difference in the number of interviews I got compared to last cycle.

Interview: Panel felt cold and abrupt, but I stayed enthusiastic throughout.

Current year: Final year of Masters
