Congrats to those who received interviews! For those who did not, don’t give up!! If medicine is your calling you will get here (some of my smartest classmates took the “scenic route” to med school and their background as paramedics, nurses, physios really help them!) Just to add onto the great advise mentioned above here are some things I did that worked for me! (Disclaimer it may not work for everyone so do what’s best for you!) 1.

The admissions committee looks at many applications, add some personal touches that’ll make yours unique/ standout hope this helps!

I was an NB applicant with a 504 MCAT and 3.8 GPA. I think my wait list score was around the mid/high 60s? Sorry I can’t be more help there but it went to an email I don’t use anymore and can’t remember the password!

Also, once the other schools across Canada send out letters you should see another “wave” of movement I’m not sure how many people get off the waitlist each year but you could probably take a look at waitlist polls from previous years if you wanted to get a rough idea! I was waitlisted last year and got in once the Ontario schools sent out letters! Just keep busy and be kind to yourself~you are so cl
