canadianguy7 Posted May 14, 2019 Report Share Posted May 14, 2019 Result: Rejected Timestamp: 8:44am 2YRGPA: 4.0 MCAT: 515 EC: Interesting and long term Geography: IP Interview: Felt like I didn't really answer the questions for some MMIs. For panel, the interviewers were stone-faced and asked tough questions. Overall, felt horrible. This was my first interview so I walked out right after and had to really go ham on MMI/panel prep for my other interviews. Year: Last year of masters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelchopsticks Posted May 14, 2019 Report Share Posted May 14, 2019 Result: Waitlist wGPA: 3.78 cGPA: 3.63 (Yikes) MCAT: 129/131/129/128 (517) ECs: Lots of hospital volunteering and some long term working commitments with the Life Saving Society. 3 summers with a children's grief camp. Solo skydiving enthusiast, Salsa dancing instructor and Master ranked SCUBA diver. Interview: (MMI) 2 great stations. Acting station was... traumatizing. Average on 2 other stations and then a giant blunder on the very last station. (Panel) Was an interrogation. Interviewers were very uninterested in my answers but very combative in their questions. Left the interview sure I would be flat-out rejected after that panel. Year: 4th year UG Geography: IP Here's to hoping though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My panel felt the same way a few years ago, and I also got off the waitlist. It’s a gruelling wait but just keep busy and business as usual. I ended up getting off the waitlist during a super busy shift at work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiynadoll Posted May 14, 2019 Report Share Posted May 14, 2019 Result: Rejected Timestamp: 5:44amPST 2YRGPA: 3.9 MCAT: 522 ECs: See other posts. I’ve interviewed with Queens 3 cycles with the same ECs Geography: OOP (but they don’t have a distinction. Interview: I honestly thought I rocked this interview. This was the best one I’ve had at queens over the 3 years. Some of the questions were right up my alley in terms of interests or experience. I cornered an actor because I covered all bases and he couldn’t come back with a scenario I didn’t already answer. Panel felt good too, maybe not excellent as I had more sass than I should have, but again, I felt like I covered all my bases. Queens would’ve been my other/2nd choice after UBC. I got accepted at UBC so at least I don’t have to make that decision. Year: HBSc 2017 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pandalover Posted May 14, 2019 Report Share Posted May 14, 2019 I can't believe I get to post this!!!!! So excited and grateful!!! Result: Accepted!!!!!!! Timestamp: May 14 8:43AM cGPA: 3.83, 2YRGPA: 3.89 MCAT: 509 (128/126/127/128) EC's: Long-term and diverse, several long-term and meaningful volunteer positions working with organizations and populations I really care about. Geography: IP Year: 4th year UG As this was my only interview, I will be accepting this offer. Looking forward to meeting you all in September! And best of luck to everyone on the waitlist I also want to remind future applicants and you don't always need the highest GPA or MCAT to succeed (I certainly don't have either). Even if you don't have the most competitive stats, as long as you have good EC's, it's still worth applying!

I'm extremely grateful to have an offer this cycle, but I was really looking forward to at least the chance/opportunity to go to Queens. I love the campus and the atmosphere there over UBC by far. Maybe would have second thoughts on living in Kingston vs Vancouver, but I guess life made the decision for me! sykern 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
