Waitlisted

Last two years: 3.79

cGPA: 3.54

 

MCAT: PS- 12 VR- 12 BS- 14

 

ECs: Lots of long term leadership in athletics (founded a non-profit league/association, lots of coaching and training), dancing (competitive and leisurely), leadership/founding positions for various clubs, tutoring, peer mentoring, hospital volunteering, a lot of work with children and some research with 1 abstract and 1 publication

 

Interview: Panel was great, very casual and friendly. The MMI had some great stations and some that I felt, after much contemplation, I could have said more for. Felt great coming out... but maybe not?

 

Good luck to everyone waiting and congrats on those accepted!

[tinatat]

Can't believe I'm posting this.. Took me a while to get around to it since I'm in total celebration mode. May 13 was honestly the best day of my entire life.

 

RESULT: Accepted!!!

 

GPA:

Last two years: Not entirely sure.. Only one course with an A-, the rest were higher.

cGPA: 3.54 (same as poster above, lol). Got an F and a D in first semester.

 

MCAT: PS- 13 VR- 13 BS- 12

 

ECs: Typical hospital ones (few years), itsy bitsy amount of research, and lots of work experience. Graduated last year and have just been working.

 

Interview: I felt pretty bad about the MMI. Even though I held it together, the stations weren't what I was expecting. The panel did go well though with lots of laughter. Felt comfortable and got to talk about all my significant experiences. All I can tell you from this is your post-interview feelings are meaningless.

 

I have not officially accepted the offer yet as I'm waiting to hear what UBC says tomorrow. It could be a really tough decision for me as UBC fits better practically but I just fell in love with Queen's and Kingston.

My sis even special ordered me cupcakes in the colours of Queen's crest. lol.

 

EDIT: For the waitlisters, I will be declining my offer at Queen's to accept at UBC. I will do this probably Monday (just working on some banking issues since my bank doesn't do online interac) or basically as soon as possible.

[PovertySucks]

Result: Accepted (also accepted at Toronto, western, and Calgary)

First time applying, only applied to Calgary and Ontario since I don't meet most of the course requirements for other schools.

 

Interview Date: March 3th, 2014; Liked the panel and the MMI, although I disliked the MMI set up. There were often 2 interviewers in each room and they would talk as I was outside reading the prompt, which was distracting.

 

Program: MD

GPA: 3.96

MCAT: verbal -11, Phy -12, Bio -13

ECs: Very heavily involved with one organization I'm very passionate about. Worked in engineering jobs.

Year: UG

Geography: Alberta

 

I did an Engineering degree in Alberta, and have worked in engineering companies. I didn't decide on medicine until recently, so I didn't have much research experience nor hospital volunteer experience, but pursued other interests I'm passionate about. Looks like it worked out!
