keinjuan Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Regrets 5th year IP. (Pharmacy degree) cGPA as per UA - 3.84, 34Q Weakish EC - research awards, tutoring, diverse work experience, student organizations involvements, but few volunteer hours Interview - 4 stations went awesome, and the other four were dreadful. First time applying. Hopefully I can improve for next year's application (Got straight A+ for 31 credits this year so it should boost my gpa a bit). Meanwhile, I'll be practicing pharmacy. Congratz to those who got in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chojo Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Wow... I'm speechless. I don't know how I got in. I have the lowest credentials of any 3rd year who applied, I'm pretty sure!!! ACCEPTED 3rd Year IP GPA: 3.73 <-- way below average for a 3rd year MCAT: 33Q <-- a bit below average for a 3rd year ECs: Hospital volunteering, hospice volunteer, Vice President of a University Club, 5 years of summer research, singer/songwriter with 13,000 subscribers and millions of views on YouTube and TV show appearance <-- I think the last one might've set me apart from other applicants? I'm still shocked. Wow. I would never have thought I would get in, cause I was rejected from University of Calgary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuzzybunny Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Accepted GPA 4.0 MCAT 32 (12/9/11) R Lots of diverse and long term extracurrics (national/international athlete, long term coaching/mentoring, long term hospital volunteering, 2 years of research, 5 yrs of tutoring, personal trainer, lifeguard) Thought the interview went awesome, only one station where i felt like i was blabbering on about nothing. Made 2 of the interviewers laugh, and felt at home during the entire day. U of A is an awesome school, and they really go out of their way to make the applicants feel welcome. Got into my first choice (UofT) as well yesterday, so I will be declining my offer to the U of A. It was a tough decision, but I'm going back home! Good luck to everyone in the class of 2016!

Lezesh Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 I guess I can post my stats, although they aren't really relevant for this year's pool, but since I'm in the class anyways! 4yr IP GPA 3.94 MCAT: 35R ECs: A wide variety of them, with long term and leadership positions Interview: Went really well This was my acceptance from last year for the class of 2015. I started school with them, but due to failing health, I had to take a medical leave of absence to get treatment. I'm returning from my leave to start year I over again with the class of 2016. Can't wait to meet you all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabucknasty Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Pretty neat actually I convocated today. Got to start it off with a phone call telling me I got an offer of admission. Anyways stats which I believe I posted earlier... GPA:3.82 MCAT: 12/11/12 ECs: Well UBC ranked them slightly below average but UofC thought they were unbelievably good (like 99th percentile good in some cases) so who knows. Interview: I thought this was the worst of the three but apparently was the best. Am definitely accepting and I am looking forward to it.

Slipstream Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 Offers are out! Accepted! Two year GPA: 4.00 MCAT: 14/12/14/S (40S, UofA score 13.33S) ECs: lots of long term activities in leadership, research, and volunteering that I enjoyed and was able to excel in (full details posted previously) Interview: I thought the UofA interview was very well structured and I think it was one of my best. I got along well with the interviewers and just felt great in general. This was my UofA experience, but I also felt horrible about Queen's and was accepted there, so don't go off of your feeling! UofA is a great school, but I will be declining my offer to accept McGill. Good luck waitlisters! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
