Hi everyone, Just started M1 (@Mac) recently and I'm looking to get involved in some research, especially since our preclerkship is much shorter than other schools. Would you recommend that I start contacting PIs now or wait until I start horizontal electives/can meet potential PIs first? Thanks!

I'd imagine that even if a job (or several) opened up, newly minted grads (i.e., people entering med now) wouldn't be eligible b/c there'd be so many people ahead of you--I can only assume no matter how talented, hard-working, and brilliant you are, there's someone who has all the same traits + an extra fellowship/degree.

They gave me 10 days to respond, same with my friend who got in a couple of days before me. WL offers might go out in staggers b/c of that. -

Dr. Walker is leaving :(

Not affiliated with U of C in any way, but his pre-rejection interview letter was the kindest one I got and I think the way Dr Walker does frequent blog posts/updates on waitlists is awesome! It really shows he understands how stressful this can be and wants to minimize it however he can. Big ups -

OMSAS reference letters stopped?!
duckduckgoose18 replied to Calypsoo's topic in General Premed Discussions
It's probably going to become a pass fail thing then, since people will likely only approach profs who'd be willing to give them 4/5s. I'd imagine this won't change anything for Mac, since they don't care about LORs very much, but interesting to see how it'll shift things at U of T/other schools that normally put quite a bit of weight on the letters. -
How does the GPA calculations work?
duckduckgoose18 replied to 2confused2live's topic in McMaster University Medical School
Queen's and UWO take your best two years. U of T removes 1.0 credits/year of undergrad completed (not sure about grad school) Mac looks at all courses (but to be fair, the average GPA for matriculants is lower than other schools b/c they don't weigh your GPA) -

Yes, Mac includes everything and uses cGPA. -
