Accepted

4th year IP
GPA: 3.91
MCAT: 33
ECs: Pretty diverse. I think they were above average this cycle. Calgary liked them for most part.
Interview: It felt very "normal". Nothing bad and nothing great.

Good luck to the waitlisters. For those rejected, I know how you feel. I was rejected as a 3rd year applicant for the 2013/14 cycle; it was definitely a difficult summer. However, I truly believe that rejection makes you want it even more. Keep at it, and it will work out!

Waitlisted! 

 

 

GPA: 3.93

 

MCAT: 30

 

ECs: research, NSERC, publications, lots of volunteering (St John Ambulance, church, hospital, etc...), jobs at orthodontic clinic and Alzheimer society.

Interview: Other than the first station, felt that the rest went quite well! One of the interviewers told me that I did great (was not expecting this as they usually are quite solemn and unreadable!) 

 

Congrats to all those accepted! Hoping that third time will be my charm!

Accepted!

Graduated B.Sc.

OOP

GPA: 3.97

MCAT: 523
ECs: Pretty standard stuff. Lots of volunteering, some research, some sports.

I can't believe it! I can't stop shaking from excitement!

Result: Accepted!!!! Ahhhhh!

GPA: 3.75
MCAT: 520
ECs: I wrote em up somewhere earlier. I didn't think they were strong.

Year: 2nd year MSc

Geography: IP
Interview: My global impression was that I'd been a bit verbose, little bit of verbal diarrhea, but that I mostly held it together.

 

I have no idea which school I'm going to choose... :S This has got to be the best kind of problem to have. :)

 

Congratulations to everyone!

Result: Accepted

GPA: 3.95
MCAT: 516 (129 CARS)
ECs: A lot of very unconventional things (I did a lot of Marketing and Graphic Design work with my Undergraduate Society, and oversaw the Marketing Division's committees and budget), Autism Research for 2 summers, etc. I think the only thing that might be considered very medicine related was a volunteer trip to Nepal. Otherwise pretty unconventional I think? If you're interested in specifics, just PM me.

Year: 3rd Year UG

Geography: IP
Interview: Definitely thought I absolutely bombed at least 2 of the stations, wasn't expecting much!

 

 

Congratulations!

Result: Accepted!
GPA: 3.80
MCAT: 130/130/126/127
Year: Graduated UG 2015

ECs: NCAA D-1 athlete, engineering projects, some volunteering and summer employment, traveling

IP

Interview: I actually really enjoyed some of the prompts, they had very engaging ideas and concepts that could be controversial and exciting. I didn't feel good about 2 stations for sure, got sort of repetitive, but definitely utilized many prompts.

 

I AM SO PUMPED! Congrats to everyone!

Result: Waitlist -- Accepted May 30

Timestamp: 10:15 am EST -- 11:53 am EST

GPA: 4.00
MCAT: 515
ECs: I don't think there was anything other-worldly on my app. Lots of project management and leadership. No research and no hospital volunteering for those worried about that stuff. Some unique hobbies and interests. 

Year: Completed UG this year

Geography: OOP
Interview: Felt better about this one than Calgary, but I definitely stumbled a bit on at least one station and could have gone through more of the prompts and been a little more concise in my initial answers.
