[elshnig]

Accepted!

 

Honours Neuro/Psych major, Theatre Minor

 

cGPA: 4.0

MCAT: 39Q VR: 12, B: 13, P: 14

 

Extra-currix: generalist sports activities, NSERC research and other early experiences, a few publications (one first-author), student government/outreach endeavors. Also volunteering in health care both within and outside hospital settings. A few odds and ends.

 

Totally thought I fudged the interview. I thought that at some point they would take a look at my file/ABS, so didn't feel that I needed to infuse all of the big components into our conversation. In retrospect was kicking myself for omitting some info (particularly any medically related experience). BUT I guess there was merit in focusing on just a few experiences and discussing the details without trying to pack everything in. Oh, and I accidentally spilled water all over the desk at the end in my smooth, smooth exit.

I honestly don't know where I went wrong, I had a great time in the interview and felt like it was like a causal conversation. Either way, I have lost a lot of hope and wonder if I will reapply ever again
