QasinCucumber Posted February 19, 2021 Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 Received an MD invite at 9:54 AM EST! Edit to include stats for reference: GPA: 4.00 wGPA MCAT: just met cut-offs ECs: balanced across the OMSAS categories, range of short to long-term activities I think, personally didn't have a particular focus and dabbled in different areas/areas I was interested in. For research, had one co-author pub, an abstract book "pub", a co-author paper in submission, NSERC-USRA, local and national conference presentations and co-author on an international conference presentation. Essays: wrote them day before and morning of OMSAS deadline. So.. I was not particularly confident in them and this is a pleasant surprise! I made sure to include one essay on research in my BPEs and in my ABS statements (not sure if that is significant or not). Made sure to convey my experiences as profound as possible while touching on UofT's clusters References: only know one was great and I don't know about the other two but likely net positive Year: 4th year undergrad Time to get on that 2 weeks of prep! silverlinden, MDMD2021, jgdiff and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p12345lu Posted February 19, 2021 Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 Invite for March 7th. See other post for stats. first time getting an invite in 3 years. My essays were complete garbage the two years prior but this year they are so much better. I actually couldn't believe what I wrote the first 2 cycles I applied and at those moments in time, I actually thought they were good lmao.

I believe they have previously stated that interview is worth 50% and pre-interview score is worth the other 50% when it comes to admission decisions.
