pitseleh Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Just got my letter, I'm on the waitlist for OOP. GPA: About 4.0 on Manitoba's scale. MCAT: 36P (11.5) ECs: Most of the usual stuff. Hopefully the waitlist moves as much as it has in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xylem29 Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Found out that I'm getting a letter 2nd round - which means I'm rejected b/c I've already completed my degree two years ago. MCAT: 11.5 AGPA: 4.32 ECs: Standard stuff Interview went bad - I knew it. Damn, my positive vibe thread didn't work Edit: Received email today, June.4 at 6pm ET. Rejection confirmed, so for all those wondering if they WL everyone since the OOP interview pool is so small, don't worry, if you get WLed it's a good thing, b/c those at the very bottom such as myself get rejected. FCK MY LIFE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roycer Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 I'm shaking as I'm typing this... ACCEPTED!!!! :) 3 year B.Sc. in Biochemistry/Biology MCAT: 31Q - 12 PS / 8 VR / 11 BS / Q AGPA: 4.34 EC's: 1) Hospital volunteer - ER, ICU, Pre-Op, Dialysis, Children's Hospital 2) Adult education tutor at Job Works 3) Program coach for the Special Olympics 4) Participant in the Rural MB Medical Mentorship 5) Sports: Tennis, badminton, basketball 6) Clinical lab tech at Hill Top Research Oh yeah, and I'm of course IP. I thought my interview went OK, not spectacular. I can't believe it yet. I thought I was waiting for the June letters when I got nothing in the mail yesterday. I guess all you need is persistence. I am so lucky that I got in another MCAT before applying this year or else I would be applying with another low MCAT. YAHHHHHH!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillerTime Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 OOP waitlist here. MCAT - 38Q (12.25) GPA - 4.0ish/4.5 ECs - nothing too special, coaching, student gov., travelling, etc. Edit: Offered a spot off the OOP waitlist on July 14/08. Was a bit of a surprise as I wasn't expecting anything to come this late, but either way, I will be declining as I've already accepted an offer from another school.

keith_015 Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 According to last year's waitlisted letter, "Typically, 13-18 applicants are admitted from the waitlist. In the past 5 years (I guess 2001-2006), this has varied from 10 to 22 positions.". So under the 1st third, 2nd third and bottom half system (1/3 + 1/3 + 1/2 = 1?), you are best off not being in the bottom half. "1st third of waitlist High probability of being offered a position. 2nd third of waitlist Very unpredictable as to whether a position will be available. Bottom half of waitlist Low probability of being offered a position . We will not provide additional information about your ranking on the waitlist."

Kailun Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 I got an email today offering acceptance. I was waitlisted on may 15 (OOP). So I don't know if they made a mistake sending it to me or if they are already moving through the waiting list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 Thought I'd contribute to this thread cos it's helped me out a lot. So, here are my stats for those who like to analyze OOP AGPA: 4.12 MCAT: 11.5 Interview: it went okay I guess, certainly not the best Extra currics: nothing special: piano, TKD, newsletter editor, volunteer at hospital oh yeah.. first time applicant, Manitoba was my first (um.. and only) choice. So.. I'm hitting the books for another MCAT sitting. Hopefully I'll reapply with stronger stats and a better application. oh.. btw.. I'm pretty pleased that Manitoba offers feedback (via email.. as in you email them questions, i think) so hopefully I'll know where to improve next time. Good luck to the rest of you waiting.

longshot Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 Waitlisted Bottom 3rd Mcat: 10 (30p) AGPA: 3.95 EC: Lots of stuff. Volunteer at hospital and St John Ambulance. TKD, Guitar, Voice Lessons, Choir etc. Interview went better than I thought it would. There was definitively a couple stations that weren't so good and one that I just bombed on. I plan on writing the MCAT again this year in sept and hopefully improve my score a bit. Probably go back to school and finnish my 4 year and hopefully do some travelling.

its_a_conspiracy Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 Let's say I wasn't surprised, seeing as my MMI wasn't stellar. The rejection email (I'm out of country) smarted quite a bit, but I really want this, so its definitely on to another year of applying. Nothing to do other than go back and improve my PAS and rethink/practice my MMI answering. =) OOP MCAT: 35P aGPA: not sure, didn't calc. but pretty close to cutoff I'd think Extracurriculars: research in genetics (juvenile onset parkinsons), orthopedic surgery clinical research, hospital volunteering, YWCA Vancouver eastside, Cultural society group youth coordinator, TKD, Vancouver children's festival, shadowing orthopedic surgeon, certificate 3D animation, triathlon team, premed club etc. similar to most others here Good luck to all those who got in this year!
