Ugh :/

time Stamp: 1:04 pm MST
Result:  Big R

GPA: 4.00 wGPA
MCAT: 510 (127/128/129/126)
Current/Past Degree: Graduating Spring 2021 B.Sc
Geography (IP/OOP):  IP
Extracurricular Activities score /16 (awards, achievements, volunteering, employment, research, etc.): Not sure about the score but nothing crazy. Lots of volunteering (hospital, summer camps, science center and through a leadership program at my school). One summer job in 2019. No research but did get an essay published in my uni's journal. Did one research class last semester so couldn;t be added to application. Long-term music hobbies. Tons of academic scholarships too.
CASPer: Not good enough for McMaster

First time applicant here so I kinda expected it from every other school but a little heartbroken cause I'm IP for AB.

Good luck to all those who got an invite!

(Also, does anyone know if U of A does Interview waitlists?)

Just out of curiosity what did the email say to people in their rejection? Mine was worded strangely...  

My guess is that everyone gets that vague statement?

"It is with great regret that we must inform you that you have not been selected to interview with the MD Program for a position in the entering class of Fall 2021. Should an interview position open up you may be contacted at that time. Otherwise, your file will be closed and a letter will be provided at a later date."

I got that too. Last year I got an email specifically saying rejected so I am not sure if this a waitlist or?

The interview response form asks for our "Application ID". In launchpad I have a "student ID" and a "reference number". Anyone know which one we're supposed to use?

I'm about to enter my student ID. They have your birthday, name, and email, so I'm sure they can figure out who you are if the system doesn't correct it.
