<title>Accepted/Rejected/Waitlisted??? (for current applicants)</title>

<pagetext>Hi all,

 

Here's a quick questionnaire regarding the admissions process at Calgary. We ran this questionnaire last year, and I'd like to keep it going on an annual basis so we can generate some profiles of applicants who have been accepted, rejected, or placed on a waitlist for each school. If you are applying this year, please take a few minutes to fill out the below questions.

 

Please keep all replies focussed as answers to the below; I will delete any non-answers in this thread. If you have any questions, please start a new thread so that this one stays on topic. Please check out the big thread in the General Premed Forum as well to let us know which schools accepted you, and which ones waitlisted you or rejected you: pub125.ezboard.com/fpremed101frm0.showMessage?topicID=648.topic

 

If you can copy and paste the below form, and fill it out, that'd be awesome. If you want to contribute your GPA and MCAT stats in addition, that's great too.

I'm a (Province) resident in (undergraduate or graduate) studies. My GPA was (XYZ) and my MCAT scores were:

[Guest bj]

Hi,

 

Is anyone aware of the U Calgary procedures for billeting? I am coming from out of province (Toronto) and was hoping that the crazy fees for plane fare would be my only (major) expense!

 

I am going down at the end of March. Is anyone else scheduled for the last weekend?

 

Thanks.
