katmc Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 Result: Accepted to Windsor Campus off the Normal Waitlist Timestamp: May 29th 2016 phone call around 10:30 and email around 3 2 yr GPA: 3.89MCAT: 11 BS/11 PS/10 VR ECs/Volunteer: A couple volunteer trips to Uganda, played on a competitive Quidditch team all through university, various other long term volunteering and generally just doing ECs I was interested in/ thought were fun Interview: I remember thinking it went way better than last years, but maybe that was only because I didn't walk out of there crying this time. Hoenstly felt like I had pretty good rapport with the interviewers and thought I'd end up on the high-waitlist so I was more than a little disappointed to be on the normal one. Year: Currently finishing up a 1 yr course based Masters at Guelph Geography: SWOMEN Honestly, I'm a long time lurker of these forums. And these past 3 weeks have kind of sucked what with trying to figure out what to do next year and coming to the realization that I would have to write the new MCAT (I swear to god I booked a date in August and ordered the EK books 2 days ago). I'm so excited to be given the opportunity and I cannot wait to meet all of my new classmates. yo_yo_yo123 and Rabeprazole 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmorelan Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 Think it's over then? over? not yet likely - but for those on the normal of course that means finally they are being called. It also means once again the high waitlist to add to the history of such a thing occurring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docosiris Posted May 30, 2017 Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 I was offered a spot in the Windsor Campus this morning. I'm most likely going to decline the offer for another school, so there will be one more spot! Good luck to everyone on the waitlist.

P374 Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 Result: Accepted to Windsor campus (Normal Waitlist) Time stamp: June 6th 2017, call ~1:00 PM EST 2yr GPA: ~3.88 MCAT: 12/11/12 ECs: tried to do things I was interested in Interview: This was my second time interviewing here (was also waitlisted last year), and I didn't feel much better about it compared to last year so I was pretty bummed afterwards. Geography: non-SWOMEN (IP) Year: Graduated 2016 (working since grad) Just wanted to update this thread with some waitlist movement. Feels unreal to be posting this as I've been legit studying for 8+ hours a day for the MCAT (already registered for the exam in July + bought a bunch of books and resources). Will be accepting as it's my only offer. cookacola, Futur3, flow345 and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastermeow Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 Result: Accepted to Windsor campus (Normal Waitlist) Time stamp: June 6th 2017, not sure what time the call came as it went to my dad... I'm currently out of the country! 2yr GPA: 3.97 MCAT: 129/130/130/129 ECs: A variety of activities that I am passionate about that... Most centered around advocacy and leadership. Interview: I'm really not sure. I felt great about it afterwards, but my other interviews didn't go so well. Geography: non-SWOMEN (OOP) Year: Just graduated from B.Eng. Had a long discussion with my partner today about what we were going to do for the next year. Then we came across wifi and I had numerous messages from my parents and a very surprising email in my inbox. I cried and cried and cried. I'm incredibly thrilled and feel so very lucky. Can't wait to meet the rest of the class! Those who are still waiting or planning for next year, do not give up! If it's what you want you will make it happen.

Doctorofmydreams Posted May 8, 2018 Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 (edited) Result: Accepted (London!!!!) Timestamp: 10:31 am EST May 8th 2018 2yr GPA: 3.9ish MCAT: Above non-SWOMEN cut-offs ECs: A bit above average, diverse. Definitely framed them in a certain way so that they fit the mould of the student Western was looking for, or at least I think so. Interview: Excellent. Laughed a lot, got a few follow-ups, felt as if they were genuinely interested in what I had to say and my experiences. I felt very comfortable and wished we had more time to chat at the end of it. I think it really helped to have a strong narrative and then connect every answer to that overarching theme. Year: MSc, working Geography: Non-SWOMEN, IP So relieved and excited!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait to meet everyone. Edited May 11, 2018 by Doctorofmydreams cheese Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guillaume Pelletier Posted May 8, 2018 Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 Result: Waitlisted... "In recent years, applicants in your position on the Wait List have not received an offer of admission." Timestamp: 11:43 am UTC-4:00 (Atlantic) GPA (converted to OMSAS system): 3.82 MCAT: CPFBS 130 / CARS 132 / BBFLS 130 / PSBSB 126 (Total 518 / 97th percentile) ECs: insane amount, more than 80 hours a week of stuff, ACTIVE president of almost everything and active member of almost everything else, photography business owner, computer programmer, a ton of interesting life experiences and unique initiatives, master's student with 1 publication + 1 more on its way... Interview: I feel it could have gone better, but it didn't go badly. Year: 3rd year MSc (graduating this year) Geography: New Brunswick I've been trying to get into med school in Canada since 2010, as this was always my lifelong dream. I was just offered the only full-tuition scholarship they give out at Saint James School of Medicine in Anguilla, and I declined it a few days ago (otherwise I could not have completed the MSc requirements for an offer from Schulich). I'm devastated and considering this religion / praying thing right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
