vick001 Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 Accepted Graduated GPA: 3.90 MCAT: 34 EC: I think I scored around at average Interview: My strongest part. I interviewed last year and did pretty bad (rejected). I prepped hard for two months with a friend and did amazing this year. Literally every station went really REALLLY well. If you prep properly you can definitely do extremeley well on the MMI. plane 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yvette Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 Rejected 4th Yr IP GPA: 3.97 MCAT: 32 (8VR-12-12) EC: probably average low-ish Interview: It was my very first interview and U of A is the only school i applied this year. I felt like i did well on half of the stations, but bombed the other half. I Will definitely be applying next year and take a year off to build upon my EC. Also, any suggestions as to whether i should retake my MCAT this year? or perhaps my time will be better spent doing extracurricular things? __________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michelleg Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 I should update this - Accepted off waitlist! Dream come true. IP - BA, BSc (after degree) GPA - 3.76 MCAT - 31 EC - Slightly above average, medical and non-traditional Interview - Felt pretty good, way better than last year at least. Past result - waitlisted. Very much hoping the list moves enough for me this year. Congrats to everyone accepted so far! Good luck to my fellow waitlisters, and better luck next year to those rejected.

Sinclink Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 Accepted IP, 1 year after graduating with a BSc GPA 3.86 MCAT 35 ECs: Was given a below average score for last year, so I would imagine only slightly better this time (volunteered abroad for a while) Interview: Felt really good about some stations, but there were a couple I did pretty poorly in. This was my third time going through the process, so persistence can pay off! Oh and I was also waitlisted in Calgary, even though I thought I had a better chance there.

IP GPA: 4.00 MCAT: 34Q Interview: Really enjoyed the interview, I had a lot of fun, definitely thought U of A was my best shot.

Jayden Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 Waitlisted! IP, graduated this year with BSc in Biology GPA ~3.7 MCAT 34 (13V, 12B, 9P) ECs: Not sure, but I think strong. Long term including youth group leader, piano. A lot of church involvement, living in a foreign country, some house building in poverty areas. Interview: I thought it went well but got no feedback from the interviewers, so we'll see when they release the scores. Hope I'm high on the list. Just so you all know, Calgary is probably a way better school, so you should go there if you got accepted... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

salleyye Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Accepted IP - BA 4th year GPA - 3.81 MCAT - 32 EC - Average (last year they were average, haven't changed much since then) Interview - Last year I was in the bottom 10% for the interview. I think I must have improved a great deal this year. Overall, it felt much better this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teachertodoctor Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Accepted! IP - B.Comm, B.Ed (very much non-trad. Just turned 37.) GPA - 3.64 MCAT - 36 EC - Slightly above average, if the past two years' rejection letters are anything to go by. INTERVIEW - Thought it was decent, but had really no way to gauge it. Looks like it was good enough to offset my GPA. I'm still in shock, thinking about my teaching career ending in less than two months. Looking forward to meeting everyone in the fall! I was told the average med student applies 2.7 times before getting in. Pretty much bang on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Recollections Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 Haven't seen any 2nd years on here yet... thought I might as well add my stats for anyone who's curious! Accepted 2nd Year IP GPA - 3.97 MCAT - 37 ECs - Pretty unconventional with barely anything med-related. Student governance, leadership, speech arts and drama, business and finance-related work, tutoring, and general volunteering with student groups and hospitals. No research Interview - Did well on half of the stations, the others I felt were mediocre. Utterly bombed 1 station. Good luck to everyone on the waitlist!

petite.cloud Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 Accepted on May. 15. OOP from BC GPA: 4.0 MCAT: 35+ EC's: Volunteering in healthcare, teaching, music, little research, etc... Interview: Thought it was my worst one. It was early in the morning when I interviewed and everything I read and said was a blur. My interviewers seemed extremely friendly though, so I felt very relaxed. I have just declined this offer in favour of UBC. U of A is a great school but I guess I'd rather stay closer to home. Hope someone on the waitlist will be very happy with my decision! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
