Wrote them out superrr last minute! But used little stories to start some of them (that were less interesting by themselves!). Tried hard to explicitly address all the questions/points that they'd mentioned for each prompt though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IP/OOP: IP SWOMEN (Y/N): No 2YGPA: 3.97 MCAT (CHEM/CARS/BIO/PSYCH): 131/129/132/130 (lol... I rewrote my MCAT cuz I had 127 cars the first time, can't believe they lowered it!) Essays (X/8): I wrote 5 originally . Then the day before OMSAS was due I found out that you should write 8, so I last-minute wrote 3 more. My "About You" was really personal and genuine. (I'm sorry to see a lot of people with stats similar to me rejected! My ECs aren't that strong - I was rejected from UBC OOP and UOttawa. I'm a pretty good writer and I did a decent job talking about what I learned from my ECs and how they relate to medicine - I feel like that was what saved me).

Moonlight2 Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 Does anyone know how many interview invites Schulich sends out each year and what percentage get admitted? (I believe their class size is 171?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I believe their class size is 171?) https://www.schulich.uwo.ca/med_dent_admissions/docs/AdmissionsStatistics_Medicine_Classof2023.pdf Last year 454 were invited for interviews and our class size is 171! Not sure how the ACCESS pathway might change things, or if it will at all. Post-interview acceptance is higher for SWOMEN but the most updated statistics that specify are a few years old now... redbeanbun 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmorelan Posted January 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 congrats for those with interviews - more to come I am sure we will try to keep discussion to other threads to keep this one clean (the tradition continues) - things can change every year but recently it has been 171 and usually roughly 450 interviews. Percentage that gets admitted is complicated by SWOMEN vs NONSWOMEN but that can be gone over in the other threads lakeshore 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a mistake on my part, will improve on that next year. congrats to those who got it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quicknickel Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 Time Stamp: Jan 30 10:46am EST Invite/reject: fat reject IP/OOP: IP SWOMEN (Y/N): No 2YGPA: 3.96 MCAT (CHEM/CARS/BIO/PSYCH): 131/127/130/131 Essays (X/8): I wrote these the night before using some of my other med school essays a templates and using those themes... Having been rejected from DAL, Northern and Uottawa I guess my ABS and essay writing is no good apparently. I was really hoping that if I could make the CARS cutoff it would secure an interview without any worries thanks to my GPA and MCAT. Apparently not... Been rejected from all the other schools in Ontario (waiting to hear from Queens and UofT) and got a reject from DAL. Evidently the people screening for interviews don't like me.

PopShoppe Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 Invite/reject: Reject IP/OOP: IP SWOMEN (Y/N): N 2YGPA: 3.81 MCAT (CHEM/CARS/BIO/PSYCH): 130/127/130/131 Essays (X/8): 8/8 I'm shocked by the reduction in the CARS cutoff. I applied and fully expected to get rejected. However, knowing that I was rejected based on my ECs, which I have forever considered the strongest part of my application, makes this sting so much more. Guess I'll need to re-evaluate. After applying for 4 years in a row, I don't know what to do anymore. This process is very close to succeeding at weeding me out of applying to Canadian schools altogether.

If I don't get in this year, I will find ways to redo my essays I guess lol I wanted to go to UWO because London is my hometown... I guess I gotta be thankful for the interviews I do have LOL.
