Jamer Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 Holy functioning site again Batman! And I won't even have to write this while drunk. Accepted on May 14. 3rd time applying to the U of C, 3rd interview, first acceptance. I have about a 3.88 cumulative, 34R, reasonably strong ECs and I was not an interview degen this year. Prepare for your interview, that's all I can say. It matters more than you think, especially at U of C when the day counts for 60% of your app. My first choice is U of A where I'm waitlisted, but I'm very, very happy with U of C too. Thanks to everyone who helped me along during the 3ish years I've been around. I love you all. Time to abuse my body now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giraffe Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 Already posted this in the U of A forum 4th Year IP 3.81 cGPA 39R (14-11-14) 2nd time applying - last year I was flat out rejected by U of A and U of C This year, I applied to: U of A, U of C, UBC, U of M Interviewed: U of A, U of C, U of M Accepted: U of A, U of C Waiting on U of M ECs: Varsity athlete, volunteering non-hospital but healthcare related, summer of research and 4th year thesis. I felt like the U of A interview was very challenging but it apparently worked out and I will be going! Good luck to those on the waitlist and to those who were not so lucky this year, don't give up. ReDOMption is sweet. I will be turning down my spot at U of C to attend U of A this fall. Calgary is a great school, but I would rather not rush my medical education. The waitlist will move!

Se7en Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 Rejected cGPA: 3.83 MCAT: (10-11-9)Q ECs: 5 years of research, hospital volunteer position, library reading program volunteer Applied to: UBC, U of A, U of C, Western, U of T, Queens, and McMaster Interview at: U of A, U of C (where I am in-province) Rejected from: U of C Accepted from: U of A Of all the schools I applied to U of A was my first choice, so I was stoked to see the acceptance email. However, I am some what flabbergasted that I was accepted at the U of A and failed to even be wait-listed at the U of C. Likely it was my poor performance on the written portion of the U of C interview that sealed my fate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
