Thank you! No, I didn't ask for early review, but they must be sent in waves. As for experience I have 2 years of undergrad research experience on upper limb impairment in Multiple Sclerosis, I worked as a physiotherapy aide, have been a varsity athlete for 5 years and am currently working as a high school science teacher, among other employment and volunteer experience. My degree was an Honours BSc in Human Kinetics, my cgpa is 3.92 and 4th quartile Casper. Good luck, I hope you get good news!!

Hey! Do they normally send offers in waves? Cause I feel like it's still pretty early compared to last year's first offers

I'm not sure! It does seem early, but their website does say that usually offers are sent in May or June, but that early or late nominations are perfectly normal. I'd assume more offers will go out though. I have to make a decision before April 28th

I applied to Ottawa and most of the other Ontario schools, as well as Dalhousie and UBC. I just received an acceptance to UBC and will most likely be declining my McGill offer for that

My decision is mostly based on other factors like location and sports lol, I would say they are very similar in terms of quality of program, but UBC is 2 years compared to 3 at McGill so that's another factor I considered!

I received an offer April 13! I think i submitted my application by the end of January after doing the last available Casper date. I have a bachelor of fine arts and took 6 credits in anatomy and 6 in physiology this past year at Concordia. Only applied to McGill because I don't think I would have had enough of the prerequisites for other schools

Hey congrats for getting accepted!! Do you think all of the offers came out then? Cause a few people received an acceptance, or is it more like early answers for the top applicants?

[takemal]

Congrats! Could you please share a bit more about your stats? I also have a background in arts, not related to health sciences so I'd like to get an idea of what they are looking for

Sure! I have a high GPA (can't remember the exact number, it's a bit confusing cause there's 3 different transcripts: 1 for my BFA, one for a certificate of science foundations at Concordia in order to be eligible for their anatomy and physiology, and then 1 for the anatomy and physiology....) and I scored in the 4th quartile in Casper. I don't have any work background in athletics or physio, I just shadowed and helped out with a family friend who's a physio for a few months, and I was also the primary caregiver for my grandfather at a long-term care during covid for several months, so that's probably the only relevant stuff in my CV. I've worked in service industry and currently work as a seamstress, so nothing physio related! And I had some volunteer work listed on my CV but nothing extraordinary. I'm guessing my acceptance has to do with a combination of GPA + Casper score and my video statement probably!

Did anyone get anything?
