Got an interview at Queen's and my cGPA isn't great, so I assume this went well. Didn't really prepare for it beyond the practice exam offered on CASPer's website.MMI interview thoughts: I actually felt that this MMI went a lot worse than Queen's, but I guess it was enough! Made sure to include my relevant experiences wherever possible to try and enhance my answers. Year: finishing up my Masters program this summerGeography: IP Guaranteed interview from last year: No Waitlisted at Queen's, going to hold out for a few more days before accepting my offer to Mac!

RD2MD Posted May 11, 2021 Report Share Posted May 11, 2021 Result: Accepted (Hamilton) Timestamp: 8:36 am EST cGPA: 3.97 CARS: 131 CASPer: I can't even remember that far back but I think I felt it went okay. I practiced for about 4-6 weeks using practice questions and PrepMatch (not at all involved with this website, I just found it helpful). MMI interview thoughts: Felt just okay about it. I had plenty to say for each prompt and felt like I organized my answers well. But I definitely had a cringe moment in one station and felt like I forgot to include some important points in other stations. I practiced for about 2 months 2-3x per week with others. The real interview prompts were nothing like the questions I practiced, but I think it was still helpful to really get in the habit of structuring answers well, looking at both sides of issues, and always considering the perspectives of others. Year: Graduated and working for several years Geography: IP Guaranteed interview from last year: No Pretty sure I will be accepting this offer! Good luck to everyone on the WL. I've heard Mac's moves quite a lot, so I'm sure many of you will be getting good news in the next few days to weeks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDWoman Posted May 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2021 Result: Accepted (Hamilton Campus) Timestamp: 8:37 am cGPA: 3.69 CARS: 130 CASPer: I had a guaranteed interview from last cycle so I did not have to write CASPer this year for McMaster. However, I'm assuming CASPer has gone well for me for the past two years because I received an interview last year at McMaster with an even lower cGPA and this year I received another interview at Queens who incorporated CASPer into their pre-interview evaluation. MMI interview thoughts: I felt my preparation for the MMI prepared me well for the kinds of questions that were asked in the MMI. Also only completed my interview asynchronously so I did not have a baseline of comparison for the live interviews. Year: 4th year undergrad Geography: IP Guaranteed interview from last year: Yes was on the waitlist last year because of the lottery. The wait was absolutely BRUTAL. Will likely be accepting the offer although not 100% decided between McMaster and Queens. As parting words I would like to say that although it is incredibly hard to see the positive for those on the WL or those who were R, everything happens for a reason. By not being accepted off the WL last year, I got to enjoy my final year of UG with my friends and colleagues. I will now get to hopefully have a "normal" medical school experience as COVID cases continue to decline over the next few months, while those accepted last year basically did Zoom Med School. Someone once told me a quote that I'll never forget and I hope you find some peace in it just like I did: Everything works out in the end, and if everything hasn't worked out yet, then it's not the end! snapesnapeseverussnape, 5th time the charm, justamom and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rinzler Posted May 12, 2021 Report Share Posted May 12, 2021 Result: Accepted (KW first choice) Timestamp: 8:39 cGPA: 3.68 CARS: 128 CASPer: must have went well, got invited to Mun (OOP), Dal (OOP), Queen's, Mac, and Alberta (OOP). MMI interview thoughts: My Masters and subsequent career in that field provided a strong foundation to answer the MMI questions. I felt that my answers were very strong and had a great feeling afterwards. Year: Completed Masters (2018) Geography: IP Guaranteed interview from last year: Yep, did not win the lottery. The wait was awful. I am writing this for fellow lower GPA applicants. This is my 5th cycle in 8 years, what kept me going was seeing fellow re-applicants and low gpa applicants persevere and eventually get accepted somewhere. There is hope if this is what you truly want. Prior to decision day, I knew despite the very real possibility that I may never make it, I would do it all over again and was ready to apply again next cycle.

Ss123toy Posted May 12, 2021 Report Share Posted May 12, 2021 Result: R cGPA: 3.65 CARS: 129 CASPer: Must have been really good to get an OOP interview with my GPA MMI interview thoughts: Felt really great about it tbh and I generally have a good gauge of my performance (e.g. got UofA and MUN acceptances and felt amazing about both interviews, got Queen's/Western WL and felt meh about both of them) which is why not even getting WL stings but guess it wasn't good enough to outweigh my horrible GPA and average CARS (for OOP), I think CASPer not being included in final selection probably worked against me also.

CareBear123 Posted May 14, 2021 Report Share Posted May 14, 2021 Excited to be able to post this! Thank you to this community for all the help through all this entire process. Result: Accepted (Hamilton) Timestamp: 8:37 AM cGPA: 3.87 CARS: 131 CASPer: I prepared pretty hard and felt decently after. MMI interview thoughts: I had to interview twice. The first time had so many technical issues - I even missed an entire station. The second time was hard to gauge, but it felt neither spectacular nor terrible. I tried to use as many personal examples as I could, but at times also felt unstructured and like I rambled.

eekinterviewsnextweek Posted May 14, 2021 Report Share Posted May 14, 2021 Result: Accepted (Hamilton) Timestamp: OMSAS @ midnight, email at 8:38AM EST cGPA: 3.99 CARS: 128 CASPer: Spent a lot of time practicing questions and going over experiences + stories, so I felt very good about it. MMI interview thoughts: To be honest, I wasn't nervous at all because I was so pissed that Mac scrapped the first interview (which I felt really good about). The questions were reasonable and I felt alright about my answers, but it was definitely more challenging without feedback from the interviewees. A few issues with timing (didn't quite finish my thoughts, or finished a few awkward seconds too early) but no deal-breakers or red flags. Year: Just finished 3rd year undergrad Geography: IP Guaranteed interview from last year: No Got an offer to Queens as well, so now I have a tough choice to make. I'll update if I give up my spot. Congrats to everyone who received offers, and good luck to everyone on the waitlist!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
