Chances of Interview/Admission?


Recommended Posts

Hi! 

I am an in province student (BC), currently at McGill University. I am in my third year here, majoring in Anatomy & Cell Biology. 

I applied to UBC medical school this summer, for the 2017/2018 cycle (submitted Sept. 15th)

 4.0 GPA, by UBC's translation 92%

521 on the MCAT (132 Phys/Chem, 131 Bio, 129 in Psych and CARS)
 

My extracurriculars include a long term restaurant job (Since 2013), moving up from hostessing/head hostessing to serving this summer.

I have been on two overseas volunteer trips (childcare in Costa Rica and home building in Mexico)

I have been a mentor/homework helper in a mentorship program with elementary school children for one year (and continuing)

I job shadowed a physician for 3 months this summer

I played soccer for 4 years throughout high school until I suffered an injury. 

I have received one award, for achieving grades in the top 5% of our Science Faculty.


I'm wondering if anyone could give me insight on what my chances are of 1. receiving an interview, and 2. getting an admissions offer.

I know my extracurriculars are a bit weak, and I have since taken on an executive position and done some more volunteering, which will not count for this cycle, but will aid my NAQ if I must apply again next year.

I am also wondering, since I am applying in third year, are my chances lower?

 

Thanks in advance :)
