Justwannagetby Posted February 2, 2021 Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 Result: Regrets Time Stamp: 12:07 PM (showed up in Promotions)cGPA/wGPA: 3.69/3.73 (first degree)Year: 1st year of 2nd UG MCAT: 514 (130/127/130/127)ECs: A lot of long term volunteering, plus many different executive position in school run clubs. Co-founder of a student run organization to help students prepare for post-secondary. Also currently an employed health-care professional. CASPer: not sure how it went, felt good about it tho! Low GPA most-likely held me back, Queens was the only school I applied to this year and I knew it will be an R but it still stings. This was also my first application cycle, so hoping to learn and use my second degree with a better GPA to apply to more schools next year and hopefully hear better news. Good luck to everyone that got an interview! You guys better kill it !:) & those that did not keep your head up, keep grinding, you are all amazing and we shall hear better news in the future XD stellaella123, tea-otter and Calypsoo 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time Stamp: 11:10 AM EST wGPA: 3.75 Current year: Post grad MCAT: 130/130/125/131 ECs: Full time job in federal government (Health related field) since graduation (~3 years), many years of long term volunteering in various areas, 3 black belts, academic and work related awards. Casper and Snapshot: Thought I did horribly on Casper since I was so sleep deprived, didn't do the snapshot. Didn't get invited to interview at McMaster but honestly my GPA just isn't up to muster so I'm not surprised. I interviewed on Kira last year and was ultimately invited to the panel, so I'm pleased I have that 'edge' for this cycle. Fingers crossed that two is the charm!
