I thought that this interview went ok at the time, but afterwards i became less and less sure until i had convinced myself it went horribly. My interviewers were a bit antagonistic, and i thought this was my worst interview.

 

This was my first time applying.

Wait listed at Queens and Western

Relatively few, but meaningful, ECs (didn't volunteer in 1-3rd year at all...just summers and did a few fundraisers). A few research positions but no papers. What was likely good about my app was cohesiveness...everything goes well together b/c I did what interested me!

 

I'm debating between U of T (home city) or JHU (scary city)

toronto GPA: ~3.96ish

MCAT: 12/9/12 R

EC/Vol: various initiatives on and off campus, focusing in on teaching, public speaking, and leadership. I have no volunteer experience in a hospital. Instead, I am a guest speaker in highschool and junior highschool classes about drugs, and man the crisis phonelines. I think its important to do more than follow the 'volunteer in a hospital' routine. Diversify your experience, and you'll thank yourself when it comes interview time and you're answering questions *with your life experiences*. Did other things like student government, started and led various clubs on campus, mentored, etc.

 

Not sure where I am going, but it will likely be UofA.

 

This was my second time applying. last year i was rejected post interview at UofA, and that was the only one I applied to. So apply to many universities and hopefully one will work out for you!!! goodluck!

[Footyfanatic]

This may sound kinda weird but I think I know who zfield is (friend of a friend) and his stats are correct.

[bustylegs]

for some reason, i dont believe you

 

A friend of mine got 15, 15, 13, T.... so it is very likely that we just might know a friend or a friend's friend who has such high scores...
