elcrew Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 Wow was I the only reject?? Oh well I guess I will post for the purpose of stats Rejected Time: 8:25amGPA: 3.78CARS: 128Interview: Honestly I didn't think it went that poorly and I usually gauge my performance pretty accurately but I guess I was wrong. Looking back I think I felt kind of thrown into it and maybe it took too long for me to get into a good groove or whatever. I'm kinda shocked that I wasn't even thrown a waitlist but what can you do...IP4th year UG in 5 year program This was my only interview so I'm really bummed but there's always next year.

DelightedPreMed Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 Accepted - Hamilton Campus Time: 8:13 AM GPA: 3.75 CARS: 132 Casper: First half was great. Got cut off a couple of times during the second half. MMI: Most stations felt great, but felt that I totally bombed one IP Recently completed second undergrad For the non-traditionals out there I hope my post provides you with some hope. I went the second undergrad route and was accepted into my top 2 choices. It is definitely a bit of a gamble to go back to school, but in my case it has been 100% worth the time, effort, debt (lol) and hard work. medway12 and NewDirection 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zzz_etrigan Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 Posting for Completeness... Result: Rejected cGPA : 3.82 MCAT = 514 (129/127/130/128) Interview Date: February 28th (?) Interview Feelings: I thought it was decent actually...only second to U of T and on par with Queens. U of A and much better than my U of C interview... ECs: fairly extensive, varied and extremely applicable to medicine, pm for details Year: Graduated 2014, Non-Trad Allied healthcare professional What went wrong? I'm guessing my low CARS score and lower end GPA 3.82 and CASPER not being considered in the weighing (70% interview) just means that my interview was mediocre at best and those with similar interview schools but better stats prevailed. All in all, based on what McMaster looks for, I guess I am not their ideal candidate. This was my top choice and not seeing it pan out stung...my girlfriend lives in this city (would make Medicine and future life planning easier), I already have quite a bit of healthcare background so a 3 year accelerated program would've been nice and learning in a self-directed group manner would've been awesome.Nevertheless I am extremely grateful for my other offers and will be accepting my offer to U of T. Hope these stats help others in their quest. RichardDegrasseSagan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accepted off waitlist to Hamilton campus! Timestamp: May 25th 12:19 PM GPA: 3.82 CARS: 128 Casper: Well enough, I guess! I prepared as I would have for an interview, and I can type quickly.

IP This has been a long road (5 application cycles, 3 MCATs and first year interviewing) and I am incredibly grateful for this opportunity! I will be accepting, as this is my first choice and only offer!! Looking forward to meeting my classmates in August! And good luck to everyone still waiting!
