SoraAde Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 Nobody really knows, and this is the best advice any of us can give you: give it your best shot. Always assume an uphill battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsmemario Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 Just give it your best and see how it goes. Students with great ECs get rejected all the time because they don't write up a good application. Spend time crafting your EC description and essays. When getting LORs, be clear with your referees in terms what is required. You can even send them a copy of the CANMED competencies and ask them to touch on these when possible. You need to dedicate some serious time to writing up a good app so don't procrastinate on this. There is no standard EC profile that you need to follow. Some people do tons of research and some others do nothing at all. I personally had lots of research/employment but almost nothing for volunteering/extracurriculars.

Cantus Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 Also, it's not always the quantity of ECs you have - it's what you can get out of them. Someone can volunteer or do research for 1000s of hours, but if they didn't or can't communicate what they learned/got out of it then it diminishes the value significantly.
