uOttawa Interview Invite/Rejection 2021
pinkneuron replied to sally1999's topic in University of Ottawa Medical School
Yes people do I know someone (who was accepted!!) that made it off the interview waitlist last year. One thing to keep in mind is that the last cycle wasn't affected by COVID and so interviews were in-person. -

To Med or Not to Med
pinkneuron replied to Elha Q's topic in Non-Traditional Applicants/Grad Students
I can only speak from the Ontario perspective and I think you should definitely look into Queen's and Western! They look at your best/last two years for GPA, so your 1st and 2nd year grades would literally be irrelevant. Your two year GPA+strong MCAT+ECs would make you a competitive applicant for both schools. Queen's admissions is a bit of a blackbox but Western's MCAT cut-off for the previous cycle was BB 126, CP 127, CARS 127 (they didn't look at PS) and GPA cut-off was 3.7. FYI you wouldn't be disadvantaged at Queen's and Western for being from Alberta, they do not have a q -

What is each med school "known for"?
pinkneuron replied to James kingston's topic in Medical Student General Discussions
What do you mean by Western is big on surgery? Like a lot of their grads match into surgery? Or that their surgery residencies are good programs? -

I got it a bit after 11:47! It seems to be rolling, I hope this helps

Got off the waitlist guys! My gpa is 3.95 and my waitlist email was created at 7:39 am. This thread has been so instrumental in keeping me sane, I cannot believe the amount of support we have provided for each other through the interwebz. I love you guys T_T I hope you all get in <3

Us waitlisters in this thread:

I think it's a continuation as well because if it was a new bin then 7:39 am people should have 4.0 GPAs but people seem to be around 3.95 GPAs, which makes sense because the people at 7:37 am have 3.97-3.96 GPAs.

If med doesn't work out then y'all should work for the FBI. Neuroticism does amazing things sometimes
-
Your references will most certainly not hate you The fact that you got an interview is an amazing accomplishment on its own, and I am sure they will support you because you're SO close! You even got good waitlisted! And you never know about this year either, it's way too early to tell... don't give up!

They might not be admins but just members in the group? I’m not sure as I’m not in the group but this could be a possibility (and have our hopes up a little bit more)

Another point that might impact waitlist this year: Ottawa was the only school that was able to complete its interviews. This means it was the only school that interviewees were able to actually go on a tour & orientation for, talk to the current med students face to face and have their questions answered. Therefore more people might choose Ottawa over other schools because they were able to get a feel for the school whereas they wouldn’t be able to do that for schools where the interview was either cancelled or online. Sorry if I’m freaking other waitlisters out
