acacna Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 Result: Rejected GPA: 3.90 MCAT: 8 VR ECs: scored slightly above average (according to U of C standards, UBC didn't think so :S) Year: 4th year Geography: IP Interview: Felt bad about a few stations. Knew I was going to get rejected as soon as I walked out of interview. Hard to accept, but its what it is. Interview can make you or break you at this school..

So.Chesterman Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Grateful for an acceptance. GPA: 3.84- Masters MCAT: 9 verbal, low overall Geography: IP EC's. Very non-trad. I have lots of grey hair. Hospital Social Worker for almost 10 years in mental health, palliative and ER medicine, volunteer therapist, Canada World Youth, forest fire fighting, lots of other volunteer gigs. Never led my life with medicine in mind until 3 years ago, but dedicated to the field of human service and medicine is a fit!! Second time applying, first time interviewing. The MMI compliments what I do in my work and was the least stressful part of this process. Also interviewed at UBC this year. Calgary sells the program so well, but made a commitment to my family that we would stay in BC if that was ever an option. We will see. Guys, its worth it, hang in there. nick and LeBronto2019 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1919 Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Result: Accepted GPA: 3.87 (finished UG) MCAT: P 10 V11 B11 Geography: OOP Interview: Walked out really unsure. When people asked I always said if they told me it was horrible I'd believe them but if they told me it was awesome I'd also believe them, wasn't sure what they wanted but I guess it went well. Good luck to everyone, it was my second time applying and I know I'm lucky to only need two tries. Keep on trying! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anon456 Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Result: Rejected GPA: 3.95MCAT: 12/9/12ECs: nothing unique, all very average stuff, some long term commitments, work, research (no publications). Year: 4th year UG Geography: IP Interview: Walked out knowing that my answers were all pretty sub-par and that I would be rejected. This was my first time applying and I didn't expect an interview at all. Only had two weeks of interview practice, which was reflected in my low (but surprising!) MMI score. Grateful to have even gotten an interview in the first place though! Congratulations to all those accepted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newanon Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Result: Rejected GPA: 3.74 MCAT: V 10 ECs: Okay, pretty average Year: Graduated master's Geography: IP Interview: I got a lot of help this year and thought I did much better than last year but it turns out, I had a 35 percent drop to a terrible percentile! I am wondering whether I got flagged, or whether they accidentally mixed up my interview with the person behind me (she said she absolutely blanked after the first station and failed the whole thing). Anyways, nothing I can do about it. After years of applying, I can no longer afford to play this lottery. Time to move on. :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fly Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Result: AcceptedwGPA: 3.83MCAT: 10/10/10ECs: Non-trad with work experience in healthcare, volunteer/work experience in human rights, advocacy work, hospital volunteering, a few poster presentations (not many). Year: Masters/out of school and working Geography : IP Interview: I felt good about over half of them, so-so about a few, and absolutely horrible about one or two. I hope this gives hope to other non-trads and for those that did not get in..... keep trying. I am proof that it can happen, and that it is meant to happen for different people at different points in their lives. Thanks to the premed101 community.....you have kept me sane throughout this long and difficult process....even when I was silently lurking you were there for me! I will pay it forward as much as possible. Morinphen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freewheeler Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 No email...but Ucan says: Offered Admission Kinda surreal EDIT: Result: Accepted Timestamp: 5:25 pm EST GPA: 4.00MCAT: 131 CARSECs: I don't think there was anything other-worldly on my app. Lots of project management and leadership. No research and no hospital volunteering for those worried about that stuff. Some unique hobbies and interests. Year: Completed UG this year Geography: OOPInterview: Felt mixed about it, was my first med school interview ever and wasn't feeling my best, but I was very honest with my answers, pretty unfiltered and did my best to "see through the prompts" and understand what the questions were really getting at. There were also some awkward moments during my interview, thought I didn't do so hot at a few stations and took extra time reading prompts/thinking outside of the room a few times for those worried about that as well. johnmccrae, UWOMedSci16, GH0ST and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lexiiiluther Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Result: Accepted GPA: 3.96MCAT: 516 (129 CARS)ECs: A lot of very unconventional things (I did a lot of Marketing and Graphic Design work with my Undergraduate Society, and oversaw the Marketing Division's committees and budget), Autism Research for 2 summers, etc. I think the only thing that might be considered very medicine related was a volunteer trip to Nepal. Otherwise pretty unconventional I think? If you're interested in specifics, just PM me. Year: 3rd Year UG Geography: IPInterview: Thought it went pretty well, but I didn't practice with a diverse group of individuals so I'm not really sure how I measure up.
