cGPA: atrocious

2YGPA: 3.92-3.93 (I can't remember)

MCAT: 128/128/128/130 (130 in soc/psych)

ECs: Currently working as a public health dietitian in Northern Ontario, experience working as an RD in ICU and surgery. Completed one year of internship, from which I got experience along the whole spectrum of healthcare.  Lots of leadership-related employment experience while I was in school, some volunteering. 1 pub.

I did a second degree. This is my first and only interview after 3 years of applications. I've been pretty removed from the premed community in the last 1.5 years because on some level I had given up, but I'm ready to put my best foot forward and convince the admissions committee that my life and work experience are worth something.

Can't believe I finally got an interview here. It feels so fuckin good to finally feel rewarded after writing the MCAT 5 times over 4 of the past 5 summers. I'm also shocked that I'm sitting here with 3 interviews after spending my past 5 years telling myself Ottawa will be the only shot that I'll get.

1231 B/B wow, that's like 101 percentile (grats, see you at the interview hopefully xD)

Going to be rewriting it for a fourth time myself, and you just gave me some hope. Ill be rooting for you!

Haha I was talking to some people in between sections of my most recent test and they said the same thing. If you believe you have what it takes and if you really want it, don't give up.
