lulu95 Posted May 13, 2017 Report Share Posted May 13, 2017 Result: Accepted to unspecified campus Timestamp: 12:11pm May 9 wGPA: Not sure how they count the conditional final year, interview invite was based on one year with 3.9 MCAT: 130/129/130/130 (519) ECs: Some research, hospital/first-aid volunteering, shadowing Interview: Felt that it went well, interviewers seemed really interested in discussing my research, and I was able to bring up a very good experience from shadowing. So many pauses during one of the questions though, interviewers had to prompt me to go on...

Aceso Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Result: Accepted wGPA: 3.97 MCAT: 130/128/131/128 (517) ECs: I did things I enjoy. 9 years with one organization, worked part-time all throughout undergrad, dabbled in clinical and basic science research (various poster publications, no manuscripts atm), involved with my local cultural community In may opinion, my ECs were less 'competitive' than what I've heard from others applying to med. I never really had the money to go abroad or volunteer a lot because I had to work most of the time. I also do not have any special talents, no musical skills, no dancing, no sports...nothing. My activities, except for one were also not extensively long-term. To those applying, don't feel pressured to do things to become a more competitive applicant. Just be who you are, and hopefully your character shines through to the admission committee and interviewers. Interview: Being from London, I felt Western was my best interview! At one point talking about my decision to go to Western brought tears to my eyes - looking back I think this spoke to how special it would be for me to stay here. I did mess up on a few questions, for one I went on a tangent, told them I was on a tangent and then proceeded to answer the question. Mess-ups happen, they understand you're dealing with A LOT of nerves. Year: 4th year UG Will be accepting to be a Schulich Med!!

Sauna Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 Result: High wait list wGPA: 3.95 MCAT: 128/129/130/128 Interview: I thought the panel was super friendly and we had a lot of laughs throughout the interview, but I was very disappointed in the quality of my answers. I felt like I was charismatic, but what came out of my mouth was pure garbage. Kind of like when you see a really attractive person, but then they start talking and it turns out they're dumb af. Year: 4th year Geography: non-SWOMEN Will be removing myself from the wait list and going to Queen's, hopefully someone on here from the normal wait list will get this spot! It's been a pleasure posting you with you guys My boy SunAndMoon, I'm still rooting for you!

Yuritime Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 Result: Accepted to London Campus (off High Waitlist) wGPA: 3.91 MCAT: 11/9/12 ECs: Quite a bit of research (some pubs and posters), A lot of leadership roles in clubs as well as long term commitment in my community working with the intellectually disabled. Interview: I walked out of interview feeling terrible, and thinking I could've given better answers but I tried my best to be a fun person (at one point I went off on a tangent about Netflix hahah). I also felt like one of the interviewers was playing bad cop with me. Year: gap yearGeography: SWOMEN This is my third time applying and it feels so good to finally get in. To those still on the waitlist, there is still hope! Good luck to everyone else! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunAndMoon Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 You mean high WL? A significant number of High WL applicants have not gotten a call, so it is surprising that you somehow got off the Normal WL before anyone else reported getting off any WL at all. applicant111 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SunAndMoon Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 Was that an accident? I don't want to doubt you, but I want to highlight that you (a) mentioned being on the normal waitlist and (b ) expressing surprise that you got off the normal waitlist and got accepted to the London campus. It may very well be true that it was an error, but something to think about for waitlisted people given that no one else has reported anything. Apologies if I am wrong, and best of luck to all.

Felt both good and bad at the same time. Year: 4thGeography: SWOMAN Does anyone know how likely it is that I'll get moved to the London campus? I'm a bit freaking out choosing between Mac (Hamilton) and Western now that I'm not guaranteed the London campus. Pleeeeeeease if anyone has any info at all let me know or message me!

An offer to Windsor is to that campus specifically, so I would not expect to get moved to London. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmorelan Posted May 27, 2017 Report Share Posted May 27, 2017 Yeah at this point the campuses numbers are pretty set so there is no way normally to transfer. The offer would be campus specific as ralk is saying. It also gives us an idea of the spots left - it is some fraction of the Windsor class size.

futuredoc28 Posted May 27, 2017 Report Share Posted May 27, 2017 Is it just me, or does the waitlist seem to be moving extremely slowly? (or are people who got accepted off the waitlist just not posting as much :S:S:S:S) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
