mhl Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 TIME STAMP: 2:15pm Mountain Result: Invite cGPA: 3.66 MCAT: 519 ECs: Varied. Long-term sport and instrument, volunteering, clubs (personal interest, not catered towards med), leadership (small groups), long-term continuous research but across multiple positions. Year: 1st year Masters Geography: IP Interesting, seems like they really did tone down the weighting for cGPA. Did not expect this at all, 1st interview ever in 4 cycles of applications . The essay must have helped a lot too since imo my ECs are average at best, if not subpar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's fair to say that MD admissions committees have annihilated my passion to pursue this career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
