lloyder34 Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Accected UTSG 4th year applicant GPA: 3.94 MCAT: 14PS/12VR/14BS/S EC: mix of long and short, personal interest and medical. Do things you enjoy, there is no secret formula. Interview: went well, was 2pm time slot so interviewers seemed a bit tired from a long day. conversational, relaxed UofT is my top choice so will likely be accepting the offer soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elshnig Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Honours Neuro/Psych major, Theatre Minor cGPA: 4.0 MCAT: 39Q VR: 12, B: 13, P: 14 Extra-currix: generalist sports activities, NSERC research and other early experiences, a few publications (one first-author), student government/outreach endeavors. Also volunteering in health care both within and outside hospital settings. A few odds and ends. A word to future applicants: I'm convinced that it's the quirky little things about a person's application that ultimately distinguishes it (beyond the broad-sweeping categories like research and volunteerism which are often important for first-pass looks but may not do much for differentiating between applicants). Find something particular to you, a peculiar interest, cause or pursuit and make it ring! Lead with your strengths. I spent most of this application cycle with blinders on trying not to look at what anyone else was doing because I didn't want to have to manage MORE uncertainty. I think that helped sanity-wise. Good luck! Be well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Fresh_Underwear Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Accepted UTSG PhD applicant wGPA: 3.85 MCAT: flagged with a 7 in verbal but rest of the sections were all in the 97+ percentile (wrote this so many times I've lost count).

Numerous awards both at local and national levels. LOR: Everyone who wrote it knows me for 3+ years and I used all 6 letters, they varied in background, with some in research and clinical practice.
