Trying my hardest to be positive about this. There's a reason things happen the way they do. Going to keep trying, hopefully I'll see you lovely folks as either fellow interviewees or better yet, med 1s!

habromania Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 Time Stamp: 10:50 AM Result: Normal waitlist 2BY: ~3.9MCAT: Just above cut-offsInterview: Walked out feeling okay (i'm normally a catastrophic thinker lol), flip-flopped a little, but it was overall pretty mediocre. Didn't make that great of a connection with the panel. They were cold, but polite. Barely cracked smiles, and I'm usually pretty good at extracting a chortle or some sort of huff. Did seem impressed at some points, although I made sure to be humble, too. Received a few comments at the end about being a good fit for the school which was reassuring, but I guess they didn't mean much. Definitely stumbled on one ethics question and gave a few meh answers. Welp. Praying for Windsor. Congrats to those who got acceptances!! Also, check your junk email because that's where I found mine. I'll be joining y'all on the support thread... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lentil_bean Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 Time Stamp:10:47 AM Result: Low waitlist 2BY: 3.87MCAT: Met cutoffsInterview: This was my second time interviewing at Western, so I was a lot less nervous. I though I had good rapport with my interviewers, and made 'em laugh twice. I had high hopes walking out of there, but in the following days I replayed my interview over and over in my head, cringing at all the minor faux pas I made, and kicking myself for not mentioning this and that. Still, I thought I made a good impression overall. Feeling pretty shitty right now. Congrats to those who got / will get accepted, and best of luck to those on the normal waitlist!

aray623 Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 Result: Accepted to London campus Timestamp: 12:12 pm wGPA: 3.99 conditional (this year is 3.97) MCAT: 515 Interview: Thought it went terrible honestly. The only time I felt it went well was .02 seconds after leaving the interview room, and then it was downhill from there Year: 5th year UG Geography: SWOMEN I don't think I have ever been so excited in my life. Good luck to those on the waitlist! And if you aren't successful this year, keep trying! And just know that a bad GPA/MCAT isn't the end of the world! I really messed up my third year and my cGPA was only 3.72 this application cycle. And I wrote the MCAT 3 times. Just keep pushing if this is what you really want! cookacola, Waves, alice1020 and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olaf Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 Result: Accepted to London campus Timestamp: 12:13 pm EST 2YGPA: 3.81 MCAT: 513 (126/129/130/128) Interview: Felt fairly good afterwards but after lots of over analyzing I wasn't so sure it went well. Turns out I should've stuck with my initial gut feelings towards it! Year: Last year of MSc Geography: IP, not SWOMEN Just goes to show you that's it's not ALL about the stats. I assumed I was going into the interview near the bottom of the list due to MCAT scores that just made the cutoffs and not having a 3.9+ GPA (my cGPA is 3.69 so I just felt lucky to even get one interview at all after complete rejections last cycle and rejections everywhere else this cycle). I felt okay after my interview so I was expecting to get somewhere on the wait list, especially after seeing such high stats posted in the interview thread. Clearly, the interview is incredibly important so to anyone who will be applying in the future or didn't quite make it this year, do not feel discouraged if your stats aren't perfect. It is possible to get into medical school with a sub-3.9 GPA and decent MCAT scores.

whiskeyjack Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 Result: Low wait list (reject) Timestamp: 10:47 pm wGPA: ~3.9 MCAT: 519 ECs: Emphasis on research, though no pubs. Some volunteering, a little leadership, few awards. Interview: Definitely could have improved some answers, but felt overall left a good impression at first. On the other hand, some of my answers that I thought were good probably came off as rambling. Year: 4th year Geography: IP Non-SWOMEN Would love to kill all three of the panel interviewers.
