Bonjour à tous ! Quelle journée... Mon Minerva s'affiche en français, alors je ne suis pas certaine : que signifie "décision en attente" ? 

 

Merci :)

It means waitlisted for interview! Go on this site https://www.mcgill.ca/medadmissions/fr/post-presentation/suivre-le-statut-de-votre-demande and click on les codes de minerva and then search for yours!

Congrats!!

You think this year the masters have been given a bigger weight? Like those who completed their masters? I'm wondering if people who completed a professional masters have maybe a higher chance to get accepted?

I'm really sorry for your rejection, don't loose hope ! I wish you all the best :) 

I'm scared I have similar stats and i'm also a 2nd year master student but i'm doing a professional master so I don't know if this could make a difference :(

You are all amazing, and I'm mostly left thinking about how insanely competitive and unfair this process is. Sending love and congratulations to all, no matter your outcome, for persevering and being so badass!

@ceelbe, probably a good sign RE: the checking on courses in progress. fingers crossed for you!

In Minerva, you can see checking in progress for your courses?  

Good luck, I wish you an invite!! :) 

no, it's because admissions contacted both of us on Tuesday to ask for proof that we were registered in our final prerequisite courses in order to be considered eligible to apply. we were trying to decide if this meant good news since they asked us right before interviews. we'll see!! thank you :)

I am very excited to interview for Mcgill, congratulations to everyone who got an interview. It seems as if this was a very competitive year so if you didn't get an interview keep your heads up and be proud of everything you achieved.

Oh my god I can't believe it!!! I'm crying of joy right now!!! I've decided to try for medicine back in 2017 while starting my Masters, having no science prerequisites done from secondary 5. It is my 3th year applying (2nd at McGill), knowing it was a long stretch with that low GPA. I worked on my ECs and practiced a lot for Casper and now I seem to reap the rewards of those sacrifices from the last 4 years. For those who got refused with a similar profile, don't give up it may be your turn next year!!

CONGRATS WOOOHOOO!!! Je suis tellement contente pour toi!!!

J'ai une impression que ceux qui ont reçu une invitation, ils ont soit une GPA de 3.9 au bac ou une GPA en bas de 3.9, mais on fini leur maîtrise. 

Bonne chance pour ton entrevue, je te souhaite toute la chance du monde!! :)
