Accepted off the High-Waitlist to the London campus

 

(Applied from the MD/BESc Program so I was only eligible for the London campus / not eligible for an unspecified offer)

Completed my 3rd year of undergrad (1st application cycle)

 

MCAT: 12/8/11/Q (SWOMEN)

(I know the verbal was low, and I already booked my time to re-write this summer, but I guess I can cancel that now :))

 

Western 2yr GPA: 3.995

(That helps to take care of the verbal score though :P)

 

Interview: Meh, thought it was okay, wasn't completely what I was expecting (a little too scripted)

 

ECs: Didn't need to bring many up in the interview

Accepted off the regular wait-list to Windsor campus

Timestamp: 12:51pm (phone call)

 

Just finished my fourth year of UG

SWOMEN: No

GPA: 3.93 (only one year over 3.7, conditional offer)

MCAT: 10P/11V/10B/Q

EC's: Lots of volunteering, research, lots of leadership experience, shadowing physicians, etc.

 

Interview: I perceive it went well... my panel was very nice and I really enjoyed answering all the questions.

 

Although I would have loved to study at UWO, I am not a big fan of Windsor and therefore will most likely be declining the offer in favor of McMaster.

Hey guy I just got accepted off the normal wait list for the WINDSOR campus.

 

-Time stamp:12:53pm

-MCAT: VR=11 / PS=12/ BS= 11/ WS= Q

-GPA: 3.63 (3rd yr) + 3.75 (4th yr) (and a better GPA for my 5th year which was part of the conditions of acceptance)

-NON-SWOMEN

-Interview: I felt it went well! The panel seemed to be quite receptive

 

I was reluctant to post anything until I had a clearer picture of where I was headed but here it is. I'm a first time applicant who did a 5th year (found it was definitely helpful). While I wasn't as keen on attending the Windsor campus, since I'm a western alumnus with friends in London, med school is med school and I am ecstatic to have the opportunity.

 

I can't wait to join the ranks!

 

P.S. I received the call today and was informed I would receive the email tomorrow (4/06/2013)
