Edit** Forgot to wish you some luck! I think you also applied to the social accountability stream? I hope it works out in your favor Unfortunately I just got rejected as well: RejectionTime Stamp: 1:16 pmLocation: IPStream: EnglishwGPA: 3.89Current year: Undergrad complete 2018 Casper: Not sureECs: good enough for Queen's and Western last year Drats, I had my hopes on the social accountability stream. Though you did make the cutoff, which was 3.85 for English IP. Guess GPA post-cutoff is still highly competitive.

DrOtter Posted January 22, 2020 Report Share Posted January 22, 2020 Invite/Rejection: INVITE !!!!!!!! - I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS!!!!!Time Stamp: Jan 22, 2020 at 12:59 PMLocation: IP (I think... I have only been in Ontario for 1.5f years)Stream: EnglishwGPA: 3.98Current year: 5th year UGECs: I feel like it's diverse but pretty average. Almost 4 years of research (mostly paid through employment or awards, Honours thesis) - 2 posters and 2 presentations but no journal pubs yet. Lots of academic awards and scholarship money from high school and uni. Hospital volunteer (1 year, ongoing). Various short-term volunteering (4-6 month) in teaching underrepresented students, student cultural committee, public health campaigns. Part-time employment outside the lab (5 years). Casper: I felt quite confident during, but then got rejected from McMaster with a high CARS as an OOP so I wasn't feeling so hopeful about Ottawa. Guess it wasn't that bad.

TheDiabeticDentist Posted January 22, 2020 Report Share Posted January 22, 2020 RejectionTime Stamp: 1:15 PMLocation: IPStream: EnglishwGPA: 3.94/4.00Current year: UG CompleteECs: To be honest, I was expecting a rejection and medical school was a spontaneous decision for me as I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in April 2019. My goal is dentistry (father is dentist and have done many things in the field of dentistry)..I have received an invite to UoT dental and expecting UWO as well. I thought overall my EC's were above average but not a lot of "medical" experiences. Was a teaching assistant for 10 courses, ran a charity that tutors underprivileged students, volunteered in an exercise program to help those undergoing chemotherapy, receptionist in a dental clinic for the homeless, ran Pre-Dental club at the University I did my undergrad at, NSERC URSA, few others. Unfortunately, I could not put my clinical research position at a company called Sernova (regenerative medicine company to treat chronic diseases) since I received a job offer after the app was due, as well as an non-profit organization I have created for Type 1 diabetics that is about fitness/nutrition and normalizing blood sugars. Around 4300 applied, so I am sure it is super competitive but its worth it to apply and see if you have a chance! Good luck to all applicants and keep chasing your goals. Casper: I thought it was fine, fast typer and used tons of personal experiences. No red flags, thats for sure.

Some scholarships. Short + long-term volunteering (Canada + abroad). 2 years of research but no publications. Several leadership positions in areas I was really passionate in. Included a lot of random hobbies and sports I did. Casper: I was able to answer almost all of the questions (spent a couple weeks trying to get my typing speed up), but that doesn't necessarily mean the quality was good.
