Accepted/Rejected/Waitlisted??? (for current applicants)


Guest Ian Wong

Recommended Posts

Wow was I the only reject?? Oh well I guess I will post for the purpose of stats 

 

Rejected :(
Time: 8:25am
GPA: 3.78
CARS: 128
Interview: 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...

This was my only interview so I'm really bummed but there's always next year.

Waitlisted  :unsure:

Time: 8:22AM

GPA: 3.79

CARS: 131

CASPer: Felt OK, wasn't stressful or anything

Interview: Actually really enjoyed it, lots of topics I'm naturally interested in and felt good coming out of it minus one or two stations.

Out of province (BC)

Graduated BSc Psych in 2012

 

Fingers crossed!

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

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.

GPA: 3.45 (!!! in case anyone is feeling hopeless with a low cgpa)
CARS: 131
Casper: Think it went fine, it's a bit of a blur because I wrote it several times, once in English then twice in French because of the system crashing.
MMI: Thought the questions were good ones and interesting to answer, generally had a good time despite the anxiety!

Accepted - Hamilton Campus (1st choice)

Time: 8:13 am

GPA: 3.84

VR: 10

Casper: didn't prep for it as much as I did last year, had no idea how I did but was able to complete all questions confidently.

 

MMI: spent a few weeks prepping prior, had a framework to answering each questions. Thought I did horrible on 2-3 stations, good on 3 and the rest average.

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.

Casper: I thought I bombed it. Was not expecting an interview AT ALL

Long-time lurker so wanted to contribute to this forum which has gotten us all through this crazy ride!

 

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.

Interview: Felt like it went really well. I was myself and tried to relax into it. About 2 stations were a little rough, 1 was ok, and the rest were solid.

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!
