Will_Son Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 Got my email a few weeks ago for March 31st. I was actually pretty surprised since I thought my stats were a little low for Toronto. I'm still not exactly sure how I pulled it off. OMSAS GPA: 3.70 MCAT: 36-O (14PS, 11BS, 11VR) Education: Just finished my B.Sc. in Biology at the U of C in December. Extracurriculars: Average at best, imo. A research position the summer after first year and also a bcem research course in fourth year but no publications. Spent the past summer volunteering in Peru. - Thought I wrote a decent essay to make up for my writing sample score. I consider myself a pretty good writer.. I just don't handle hand-writing very well. - I don't think I qualify for the weighted GPA because I took the last semester of my last year off. I could be wrong, though. - Everyone else's GPA here terrifies me. ________ xxELECTRAxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gimmeachance Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 For any curious grad students out there, I may be some hope for you. I got my interview invite on Feb 23 for Mar 23 interiew (I'm from Ontario, outside GTA). I rescheduled it for April 1 since I am in Africa doing a CIDA internship. OMSAS GPA: 3.71 MCAT 2004: PS12, VR 8, Q, BS 11. MCAT 2006: PS 9, VR 7, R, BS 9. Finished grad degree in August 2006. Two first author pubs (in press) and two other pubs, plus conferences, posters, etc. Lots of EC (hospital/social/community volunteer), varsity sports, grad student council, undergrad research (apart from honors work), international health/education experience, lots of awards. Rejected from all schools across Canada over the last 3 years and U of T is my first interview ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illusion Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 received mine last week. omsas gpa: 3.61, ut 3.8 mcat: 9vr/10bs/12ps R really good ec's, volunteer, student govts, hospital councils, research, etc. I'd say that in the last 4 years i've been through hell and back, and back again, and again..... School is not difficult but life sure can be. i didn't ask for any special consideration and so this was completely unexpected. I hope this gives some hope to everyone else. don't be discouraged, if this is something you want/need to do, persevere and you will get a chance. i applied so i wouldn't regret not trying. all the best to everyone =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
