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

[Inspired17]

I was waitlisted & I have already pulled myself off of the waitlist. Good luck to those of you on the waitlist, there's one less person there now

Hi everyone .

 

I'm accepted! Congrats to everyone else who is in. For those still waiting - I really wish you all the best and hope things work out for you. I know how difficult it is to wait.

 

In case it's helpful to know, here are my stats:

 

2 years OMSAS GPA: 3.85

MCAT: 10 VR, 9 PS, 11 BS, R writing sample.

I had a range of extracurricular activities/volunteering/research... hospital, crisis centre, 1 publication, I worked a lot since high school.

 

I had felt the interview went well (mostly because the interviewers were sooo nice).

[A-Stark]

Waitlisted (and at Mac); going to wait a bit to see whether the Ontario option pans out.

[beastort]

I have a Honours BSc and an MSc in pharmaceutical science, 2 peer reviewed journal publications, 11 peer reviewed online publications, professional management experience, and tons of medical research experience. Pretty wide range of extracurricular, no volunteer.

 

GPA: 3.5

MCAT: 10 - phys, 10 - bio, 11- verb, R

 

Applied to: Queen's, UoT, Western, Mac, Calgary, Dalhousie

Rejected pre-interview: UoT, Western, Mac, Calgary, Dalhousie

Waitlisted for Queen's

 

I'm gearing up to apply again, new MCATs, the works. Does anyone know how many people get waitlisted? Is it everyone who had an interview but didn't get an offer -- 300 people? Does anyone who had an interview get declined?

[nutritional_lee]

Can everyone please post their stats as well? Including cGPA and last 2.

 

My OMSAS overall GPA was 3.5-ish (including two years of engineering courses); 3.78 for my most recent degree, and probably mid-3.8s for my best two years.

 

PS 11 / VR 11 / BS 13 / WS S

 

Extracurricular activities: Interprofessional health student group, student government, intramural sports, volunteer @ fair-trade store, summer NSERC research, and lots of first-hand experience in hospitals and the community thanks to my undergrad and recent work experience as an RD.

 

I was accepted, but will be declining my spot to take advantage of McGill's cheaper tuition

[webshy]

I'm an Ontario resident who completed by Bachelor of Health Administration in Health Services Management at Ryerson University in 2004. I also have a Diploma in Emergency Health Services Management from Dalhousie University (2004). I have been working as a paramedic with Toronto EMS since 1999.

 

My overall GPA was ~2.0. My GPA from my most recent two years was 3.78. I wrote the MCAT three times in 2004-5, scoring between 26 and 28. In March 2007, I wrote the MCAT again scoring 32R.

 

Physical Sciences: (12)

Verbal: (10)

Biological Sciences: (10)

Written Sample: ®

 

I was accepted by Queens. This is my first time applying to this school since earning a competitive MCAT mark. I have been waitlisted at Dalhousie (23 on the non-maritime list), and was accepted by Western.

 

I will be attending Queen's in September.

[Alyzee]

I'm an OOP in 4th year CMMB (done now) at the UofC. My GPA was 3.85 for four years and 3.97 for the best two, and my MCAT scores were:

 

Physical Sciences: 11

Verbal: 10

Biological Sciences: 13

Written Sample: R

 

I was accepted by Calgary, Alberta and Queens, just waiting for the missing Western email. This is my third (DONT GIVE UP!!) time applying to this school.

 

I applied to UBC, UofC, UofA, Western, Queens, UofT, Mac and Ottawa.

 

I was interviewed at UofC, UofA, Western and Queens.

 

Interviews went well, I thought, except UofA.

 

Of all the schools I applied to, I have NO idea where I want to go to school! Good luck to all on the waitlist!

[Alyzee]

wait this was my first time applying to queens never mind...copy paste isnt my friend

[PhoenixFlare500]

I got waitlisted.

[Jochi1543]

I got waitlisted. I had a bad interview, so I had no doubts I'd be waitlisted, and I'm not expecting to get in off the waitlist...unless we're talking last minute.

 

Now if only U of A got back to me!

[diablo]

I got waitlisted for Queens, however I got accepted to U of C (my 1st choice).

 

Same thing as others who got waitlisted at Queens - I had a good but not overwhelming interview. I really didn't take very well to the questions that they were asking - they all kinda seemed to be asking the same thing. My whole interview involved the "describe a time when . . . . and how did you feel about it" type of question - at the end I felt like I had just been psychoanalyzed. I knew when I walked out the door that it didn't go well enough to get in.

 

Congrats to those who got into Queen's - perhaps we'll meet and swap stories at a medical mixer one day!

[missD]

I got accepted to Queens, which is my first choice.

 

2 year GPA was 3.86

 

MCAT - PS (11) V (9) BS (12) WS ®

 

I felt that the interviewers were super friendly & that I was well received.

I have a wide range of ECs (hospital volunteering, community events, music), and I have worked in hospital management for a few years now.
