ScientificoPolitico Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 So I'm a MB resident (non-rural) with a B.Sc in Microbiology and a 3-year B.A. AGPA: 4.3 MCAT: 32R (VR-10, PS-11, BS-11) I'm heavily involved in volunteering with human rights and social justice groups. Also, I've been involved in research the past 2.5 years. Both of these came up a number of times in my interview. This is my second year applying. I was in the second part of the waitlist last year. I have only applied to the University of Manitoba for medical school (other universities for grad school). I will most likely be accepting.

sopee Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 I am very happy as I post this. I hope you all get a chance to read 'offer of admission' on an email subject line from some school.

canucks4ever Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 Rejected IP (4th time applying), but I had to fight for it because I didn't go to high school here but I've lived and worked here for the last 6 years.

hkmedic Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 I was just offered a position at uOttawa. I will most likely be declining my position here at Manitoba. Good luck to those on the waitlist! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhoenixFlare500 Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 I guess I neglected to post about my interview. I prepared a bit more this time by taking part in mock interviews and reading up on the Canadian health care system before. For the actual interview, I felt like I did great on some stations and absolutely terrible for others. I had one station where the interviewer basically talked the whole time trying to explain what they thought the question meant, and I had another station where I had to go to the bathroom right before so I had to just walk in there without reading the question first. I guess I did really well on some of the other stations or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guitarded27 Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 Oops, almost forgot about posting this . Accepted, 4th year OOP (BC). aGPA: ~4.1 MCAT: 12BS/11VR/13PS/S Fairly average ECs. Felt confident during the interview. I had the UBC MMI a month earlier, so it helped being familiar with the format of the interview. Did not use the notepad to take notes at all, as I felt that they would actually hinder me instead of help during the stations. Struggled a bit with the writing section (10 minutes is far too limiting to write a decent composition, in my opinion). I have declined this offer in favour of a position at UBC. Good luck to those still waiting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
