Jayden Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 Accepted off the waitlist IP Bio degree just graduated GPA= ~3.75 MCAT= 34 EC= I think pretty good. Long term leadership, youth groups, volunteering, travelling, etc Interview= no idea how it went. I thought I was fairly well-thought out in my answers, but didn't seem to get any feedback from the interviewers and thought I stumbled over my words a few times. So excited! I'll see you all in the fall! Best of luck to those still on the waitlist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worstcasescenario Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 TIME STAMP: 9:05 AM - (But it just said to check the documents)GPA: 3.99MCAT: 14/11/12 (37)ECs: Not great, but not bad. Some athletic hobbies, sessional work as a musician, volunteered at a mental health organization, writing grant. Only one leadership entry :|Year: Graduated last year IP ACCEPTED. This was my second cycle. There is hope. I still have two schools to hear back from but I'm pumped. To the point that I don't really know what to do with myself so I'm kind of just sitting here. edit: Oh, right, the interview. Thought it went really well. Only two stations I don't think I was particularly proud of but I felt mostly collected, and a couple were softballs because I had a lot of personal life experience related to the question. I actually got really sick halfway through the whole thing and started sweating profusely, but it worked out, so maybe I should try that in the future as a strategy.

plane Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 Accepted! GPA: 3.9+ MCAT: 33+ ECs: Applied last year and was above average. Interview: Thought did well on most, but poorly in 2 (I was certain that I'd get rejected over these), but I guess it was good enough Year: 4th year IP The feeling is unbelievable. The pain of being waitlisted for 4 months last year was well worth this year's acceptance. Congrats everyone for making it this far and best of luck to all of you!
