daffodil Posted May 11, 2021 Report Share Posted May 11, 2021 Result: Accepted Timestamp: 8:46 EST 4YRS GPA/2YRS GPA: 3.95+, honestly I didn't look that much into calculating it LOL MCAT: 522 (131/129/132/130) MMI and Panel Interview Thoughts: MMI was half decent. I was a bit nervous that I dropped a few red flags but I guess not! The panel was quite nice, really connected with the interviewers. Panel Date (Saturday March 27th or Sunday March 28th): Sat Mar 27 ECs: 2 years of undergrad research, a few pubs (one second author), some university societies. My non-academic score was pretty low at other schools I applied to and didn't get accepted/interviewed at so I'm surprised! Year: 4th Geography: OOP edit: I will probably not be accepting as I was also accepted to Mac! eekinterviewsnextweek, DrOtter and MD2B 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first half I thought I was on top of, but I remember not feeling great about how I handled the second half. The panel, on the other hand, I thought was amazing. I felt that I really connected well with my interviewers and it was like having a conversation over drinks at a bar lol. Panel Date (Saturday March 27th or Sunday March 28th): Sat Mar 27 ECs: A lot. Been working in research for almost 3 years, a medical clinic for one, lots of volunteer activities/extracurriculars I've been involved with, particularly around mentorship and global health. Also had a number of activities/hobbies listed. Happy to share details for those interested Year: 2 years post-Master's Geography: IP I'm completely numb. Also posted in another thread, but I find myself in the crazy position of having more than one offer. After 4 years straight of pre-interview rejections, I never dreamed to find myself in this position. My sole focus was trying to get in anywhere lol. I think I'll probably have to spend the full two weeks deciding where I'll go. Excited at the thought of having some of you as colleagues in the near future!

tea-otter Posted May 11, 2021 Report Share Posted May 11, 2021 Result: Accepted! Timestamp: 8:46 AM 4YRS GPA/2YRS GPA: 3.52/3.75 MCAT: 125/130/130/131 MMI and Panel Interview Thoughts: I thought the MMI went well, and I had made it to panel last year too. Last year's panel I think I fully botched. This one went better, but it seemed a bit cold and there were some technical blips. That said, I've been told by mentors that my interview skills are very strong, so maybe my self-assessment was too harsh here. Panel Date (Saturday March 27th or Sunday March 28th): Saturday in the afternoon. ECs: Numerous (I filled it out completely), diverse, long term. Very little research experience. PM me for details. Year: Post grad, currently working full time. Geography: IP After the sting of last year's rejection and the dreaded certainty that I was going to get another this year, along with the fact that I'm a non trad applicant... I'm ecstatic. And also still pinching myself. Is this real life? I can't wait to meet my Qmed family! Congrats to everyone who got in, and for those of you who didn't get the news you were hoping for today: don't give up. Keep trying. Med school isn't going anywhere and "not this year" doesn't meant "never". rinzler, MD2B, SquirtleMD and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDWoman Posted May 12, 2021 Report Share Posted May 12, 2021 Result: Accepted Timestamp: 8:46am EST 4YRS GPA/2YRS GPA: 3.69 / 3.69 (Yeah I was as surprised at you to get an interview with a sub 3.7 GPA) MCAT: 518 (130/130/128/130) MMI and Panel Interview Thoughts: Messed up one station on the MMI by misinterpreting part of the prompt and only realized it afterwards when I was mulling over my answers. Panel went really well and felt like I connected with both panelists while being able to convey everything I wanted Panel Date: Sat March 27 Year: 4th year UG Geography: IP As parting words I would like to say that although it is incredibly hard to see the positive for those on the WL or those who were R, everything happens for a reason. Last year I was WL at McMaster as part of the lottery cohort, however, by not being accepted off the WL last year, I got to enjoy my final year of UG with my friends and colleagues. I will now get to hopefully have a "normal" medical school experience as COVID cases continue to decline over the next few months, while those accepted last year basically did Zoom Med School. Someone once told me a quote that I'll never forget and I hope you find some peace in it just like I did: Everything works out in the end, and if everything hasn't worked out yet, then it's not the end! For those of you on the WL, I will likely be rejecting my offer in favour of McMaster. Good luck!

Timestamp: 8:46 EST 4YRS GPA: 3.85 MCAT: 526 (132/131/132/131) MMI and Panel Interview Thoughts: MMI felt pretty average, panel felt amazing. The interviewers were extremely warm and we had a great conversation. Panel Date (Saturday March 27th or Sunday March 28th): Saturday, Mar 27th ECs: Varied. A few years of research with one publication, teaching assistant, residence advisor, childcare instructor, hostess, security guard, ice cream maker (lol). Lots of extracurriculars including leadership positions in research club + music club, founder of a research-based student event at UBC, volunteer at yoga studio, pianist in a band, etc. Year: Graduated from undergrad in May 2020, been doing psychiatry research for one year. Geography: OOP I am thrilled to have received an offer, but will (hopefully) be declining if I get into UBC. Fingers crossed I will be able to give my spot to somebody on the waitlist!
