Slippi Posted January 16, 2021 Report Share Posted January 16, 2021 Time stamp: Jan14, 2:10CST Program: MD Result: Rejection OMSAS GPA: 3.88 CARS: 127 IP/OOP: OOP CASPer: I thought it went alright, but I don't think I would've came off as a super strong applicant. Probably could've prepped more, but I'm not super heartbroken about this because 1) it was expected, and 2) I'm banking on getting into my home province med school. Congrats to everyone who got invites! PS: anyone know how OOP and IP affects acceptance for McMaster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prepped for a few days, just kinda went with my intuition and tried to write as much as possible in 5 mins lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
premed1508 Posted January 18, 2021 Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 Time stamp: Jan 14 Program: MD Result: Rejected OMSAS GPA: 4.0 CARS: 129 IP/OOP: IP CASPer: I thought it went well, but maybe not? I read Doing Right and practiced for about 3 weeks. I didn't get cut off on any questions, and tried to write thoughtful and complete answers for each one. However, this was my first time writing the CASPer. For those who are familiar with the Canadian medical school application process, do you know if being a third year is counted against you? This is my first time applying, so I was curious if being a third year affects admission decisions. Congrats to everyone offered an interview, and good luck on the rest of the application cycle!

This is my first time applying, so I was curious if being a third year affects admission decisions As bearded frog mentioned, definitely not for mac (their interview invites are completely formulaic and stats-based), definitely not for Ottawa (tons of people in our class got in out of third year), Queen's and u of T I'm not sure but I know people who got interviews and/or acceptances at both out of third year so they definitely take third years, but I'm not sure if it affects you in the admissions process (although I doubt it). What I've generally heard is that being a third year can hurt you in the sense that you have one or more fewer years of experience/ECs, but they look at all applications equally and don't care what year you're in. This wouldn't make any difference for mac though, since they only look at stats DrOtter and sevenless 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check your spam/junk folder first and then email ASAP. As far as I know everyone, including those waitlisted for an email heard back last week. poorpremed and PrayingMantis 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Responded to all prompts on test day. My goodness, how much I regret majoring in math in undergrad sometimes. Clearly, my GPA (and CARS for that matter) did no favours for my application. Hard to say how my CASPER turned out. Time to plan ahead for next year. Best wishes to all who applied this year PreMed#219099 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I got mine ~3-4 days after emailing it to them. Depending on when you sent it in, you should expect to receive a confirmation soon.

Heartbreaker Posted February 2, 2021 Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 Sorry I'm super late to post, but this is for future applicant reference: Program: MD Result: Rejection Timestamp: 2:38PM EST OMSAS GPA: 3.90 CARS: 128 IP/OOP: IP Casper: Felt good about my CASPer practice and did a lot of it. Not the fastest typer but I practiced almost everyday doing typing games and practice CASPer with my university career support. Clearly I may not have done too well on it because the rejection says it all Heartbroken but I guess I'll have to work harder to make myself a better applicant. This is my first application to med school.. not going so well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
