sykern Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 I am shocked. Didn't think I'd get any Canadian love at all. Time Stamp: 15:57 Invite 2 Yr GPA - 3.87 MCAT: 128/126/130/129 but I'm not sure if they used my last Mcat where my cars was 127. EC: non trad applicant working in healthcare. I've been a guest speaker at a few conferences for mental health, have a few abstract pubs, and just genuinely tried to sound like a human being on my ABS. PM if you want details. Honestly don't give up. I was down and out last year and thought I'd have to go south of the border. I still might, but damn.. what an opportunity. zatb5, mkd, spotsanddots and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wsljoan Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 FREAKING OUT HERE! FIRST INVITE AFTER TONS OF REJECTS! Timestamp: 4:09pmInviteIP Currently in my last year of my second undergrad (previously completed a H.B Sc... messed up the first 2.5 years of my GPA pretty badly which is why any school that does cGPA rejected me)3.9+ (last 2 years... thank the med gods that Queens overlooks the bad GPAs I got in my early uni days) 512: phys/chem: 127; CARS 126 (the internet disconnected and everyone in my sitting including me lost 3-5 min); Bio: 129; Psych/soc: 130ECs: couple of research (but all in psych, which prob isn't "med" enough for other schools), 1 pub that was being reviewed at the time of application (now in press), 1 conference poster presentation, exec in student club but not very recent, some other EC like music etc, but no shadowing or volunteer abroad (seriously I was working 2 part-time jobs to support my finances... can't afford to pay $$$$ to volunteer in south america can I....) This is my first time applying to med and since this is likely the ONLY invite I'll get, I'm nervous as heck that I may screw it up. If anyone wants to drop some advice for me (or just a virtual pat-on-back to calm my nerves), it'd be much appreciated =) MultiQuote kol26, sykern, BioF and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackGoat Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 Result: Regrets Time Stamp: 5:10pm EST wGPA: 3.78 Year: Currently 5th year UG MCAT: 517 (132 CARS, 130 B/B, 130 P/S, 125 C/P) EC's: Nothing too impressive. Working/volunteering in a bunch of labs (no publications or presentations), some hospital volunteering, involvement in a few campus groups. That GPA might have been a tad bit low. My ECs are also nothing special. Pretty sure that is what did me in. That low C/P score might also have played a part if that was below some sort of cutoff.
