Hey,

 

MCAT 11-physics, 10-verbal, 12-bio, R

cumulative GPA for 3 years (my calculated OMSAS value) - 3.91

 

Applied to all Ontario schools except NOSM

Interviewed at Western, Queen's and MAC

Waitlisted at all 3

Excepted May 29th at MAC, June 3rd at Queen's

Provisionally accepted Queen's recently.

 

 

Also, I made a point of doing no hospital volunteering (though if the question "how did you know medicine was for you" came up, hospital volunteering probably could have been helpful, but as you can see, every person on this forum does it so while it's good for personal growth, it doesn't set you apart). I worked with habitat for humanity which was more fun than anything else and great for communication skills, teamwork, etc. I built that up pretty hard and really advocate it to anyone. No house-building experience needed! A friend of mine asked me to tutor for his charity and I did that for two years, just an hour a week. I worked for a biotech. company in R&D doing ELISAs and worked with Hybridoma cells (truthfully boring stuff most of the time), and some other jobs, overnight camps. I did not go to Africa and save the world. I did not climb Mt. Everest. I did things I enjoyed doing (guitar, hockey, nutrition...) and would have been happy doing even if I never got into medical school after 1001 application cycles. That's my advice, so take it or leave it. GOODLUCK

32S (12,10,10)

 

EC's fairly usual. Lots of sports and travel, a little research but with no pubs, and lots of stuff with the Cancer Society.

 

Applied: Ottawa, Queen's, UWO, Dal, NOSM

Interviewed: Ottawa Queen's

Waitlisted: Queen's

Accepted and Attending: Ottawa!

 

I really liked Kingston and the vibe given off by the med school. They should have a beautiful new building for 2012.... However, I'm absolutely thrilled to be going to Ottawa and the program they have there.

 

Will obviously be removing myself from the waitlist. I hope I was high enough on the waitlist to move it along for someone. Hang tough. I was waitlisted and Queen's last summer and never got off it. It's a rough process... try to find something to distract yourself and get thinking about what you can do to make yourself better for next year. Easier said than done I'm aware.

 

Congrats to everyone accepted, and best of luck to the wait listed!
