preprepremed Posted February 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 @Med&Coffee Congrats to you as well! I'm seeing the same thing as you, only a decline button is present. I need to wait until the end of the work day to read through everything anyway, so I'm hoping it's resolved by then, or someone has found a workaround and posted here!

Nik- Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 Result: R GPA: 4.00 MCAT: 127/128/129/129 ECs: extensive volunteering and employment since 17, worked in front-line healthcare since 2015 in a variety of settings (home care, acute care in hospitals ranging from emerg to internal med, public health), healthcare administrator since 2021 where I'm leading the COVID vaccine rollout to a community of 110,000 people. All references verified my activities. I've received above average scores on my ECs in past cycles (8-9) and only had even more significant activities to add this cycle to replace lower quality entries.

It was becoming hard to believe I would ever get a chance at U of A. For those that did not receive an interview, please do not try to take it to heart. I know this has been repeated ad nauseum, but the sheer competitiveness of this process due to both the caliber of applicants and the scarcity of spots makes this a brutal process. Keep your head up and take some time to decompress. If anyone wants advice or help, I'm always more than willing to do what I can - Just reach out Catsandstuff, DrKing and SadBoi 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
