Laly20 Posted January 21, 2022 Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 TIME STAMP: 11:25 Result: Invite !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! degreeGPA: 3.80/4.0 MCAT: NA ECs: quality volunteering and work experiences plus grants at school Year: M.Sc. completed in 2020 CASPER Quartile: 4th french QC residency Verified or not: QC IP Letter of EC: No 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!! MDee2B, cc11, biomedd and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
