Hello, extremely late to the party but I would love to participate

Also still says being screened for consideration of full file review for me

You have already submitted so just wait and see what happens, there is literally no good reason to withdraw your application at this point unless you are having second thoughts on med in general. I know people that got into calgary last year with a 124 CARS score

Congrats on the admission, you should be proud! I know that I will have to work on my interview if I am lucky enough to get one again, but I feel like my entire profile as an applicant needs work lol. Honestly, I am interested in the subject material of my degree, but I would be lying if I didn't say that I'm having a really bad time. I feel overwhelmed, the profs and program staff are very "old school" for lack of a better word and don't seem to care about us whatsoever. It's been a pretty bad experience so far. Even if I wasn't applying to med, the thought of failing a course is on my m

Losing the job offer and not getting an interview or acceptance yet again is a very real possibility. I'm not worried about my GPA dropping slightly; I genuinely think this program could drop me to a ~3.5-3.6 wGPA from my 3.87 wPGA (hence a third of the cohort literally getting Fs on their transcript). Even getting an interview involves a huge amount of luck, but I can't help but feel that my GPA dropping would basically be the nail in the coffin. You almost need to meet a certain threshold to even have luck be a factor if that makes sense. Perhaps the experience I get from my new job and duri

Hey all, I am in a precarious situation and I'm in desperate need of advice. Long story short, I am currently entering my third application cycle having only received one interview invite during my second cycle to U of C. Having been waitlisted last cycle without receiving an offer in the end, I started a 1 year course based masters degree. My impetus for pursuing this graduate degree was twofold: I needed to establish a career for myself, and the subject matter of my graduate degree really interested me. I spent a gap year (last year) working and making not much above minimum wage, so th

As pessimistic as this is going to sound, grade inflation (if it does in fact occur) will certainly have repercussions. The process is just too competitive and saturated for it to not matter. Significant inflation would almost certainly result in some people not getting interview invites that otherwise would have. I wish this wasn't the case, but I can't see it not having an impact

Interested!

Hello all, I am a three time reapplicant looking for some feedback on my application. This process has been grueling to say the least and I want to put my best foot forward going into this cycle. If anyone is willing to look over my app or wants to exchange apps with me, please don't hesitate to reach out!

Been wondering this as well, I don't think the blog has mentioned anything

Wow that GPA and MCAT spike is brutal...
