Accepted applicants don’t receive any scores on their letters unfortunately.

@PrimaryCareful congrats on your acceptance! Wondering how did you approach the maritimes connections essay given you do not have a connection?

I approached it as a metaphorical connection; how my experiences and upbringing had similar issues to those faced in maritime communities and how that informed my decision to pursue medicine, specifically at Dalhousie.

Interesting. When I spoke with admissions they told me I could not do this, even after I completed my first degree. 

I think they are referring to Master/PhD programs where your dropping out affects the work and research of your supervisor.  I know this is not allowed but I think other undergrad degrees are ok.  Not sure specifically about pharmacy but I'd imagine it's the same as long as they had a degree beforehand. 

[Malk]

Accepted (IP, NS)

MCAT: 518

GPA: 4.0

Finishing MSc, a number of grad scholarships and USRAs in undergrad. Hospital volunteering since 2nd year undergrad. A couple of publications (one accepted and one submitted at the time of submission). Other ECs, music, gardening, etc... Regular person stuff.

I can't wait to meet you all in the fall! 

Edit: second time applying. First was an R in 2019. Needed to interview better.

[DalMedWaiting]

Rejection (IP, NS)

Score of 69.86: GPA 3.9/ MCAT 503.

MSc and lots of hospital research experience, publications (including first authors), many presentations locally/internationally and various volunteer (in/out of hospitals). ECs mostly normal but was a high level athlete so lots of sports/athletics. 

Pretty bummed but looks like I'll need to work on the supplemental for next year. Good luck all! 

[abcd1288]

Rejected (OOP)

Disappointed, but I am not surprised. Was wary that being in the OOP cohort means lots of competition and my ECs were not that amazing.

[MedDalQuestion1]

Accepted (IP, NB)

MCAT: 515

GPA: 4.0

Currently working as a research coordinator at the Regional Hospital here, volunteering and research heavy.

GPA 3.7

Pretty disappointed as my score went up from last year but did not even garner a wait list spot this year. Interview is what did me in so I will need to reflect on that for next year.

 

Congrats to those that were accepted.
