Applicant type: MD TIME STAMP: 11:24AM EST (Thurs Feb 24) Interview Date: March 13 1pm EST Result: Interview Invite GPA: cGPA: 3.94, UofT wGPA: 3.96 (I think) MCAT: Meets cutoffs but pretty bad lol (504: 125/125/126/128) ECs: filled all 32 ABS entries with a variety of things, lots of student government, board member and committee chair on a couple of non-profits, large focus on equity & inclusion (working with Indigenous peoples and non-binary + female youth in particular). One research entry for summer research position + scholarship + poster presentation + 2nd author pub on the way (but not published yet), a few random interesting things in Other (occasional writer for newspapers, features on the radio, organized rally for affordable education).

OMSAS did not update for me at midnight (for UofT). It didn't update until later in the morning. I got the acceptance e-mail first, and then OMSAS updated. Best of luck everyone.
