Cannot believe this... still in awe; for anyone wait-listed or rejected, don't give up. This was my second go at this and I know it's an up hill battle; if you need application help or interview prep shoot me a message and I'd be more than willing to help out!

I was waitlisted at Mac, so I will definitely be accepting the offer (Western was my first choice anyways). I'm so happy that I can't stop crying. After a whole summer last year on the waitlist, this feels really good.

Accepted to unspecified campus!!!!

ECs: A bunch of random stuff, clinical & molecular research, worked at a biomedical engineering company, journalism

Interview: Thought it could have gone a lot better

 

This is my second time applying, and I am absolutely speechless!!!!!

 

Does anyone know if we have to accept the offer without knowing what campus we are assigned?? What are the chances of getting London v. Windsor?

[AlphaMagnum]

Accepted to unspecified campus.

GPA: 3.71

MCAT: 12P 15B 12V S

ECs: Volunteer, research, leadership. The "trifecta," but nothing too spectacular.

Interview: Thought it went well.

 

Like some other posters in this thread, I have a bit of a dilemma regarding campus selection. My decision to accept very much depends on whether or not I'd get into the London campus, as I strongly prefer it over the Windsor location. I called the admissions office today and they couldn't tell me anything in particular, unfortunately. Would anyone happen to know my chances, given a London preference and a first-round acceptance? I'm very grateful for the opportunity but it just strikes me as bit odd that they expect us to accept an offer of admission without knowing where we'll be studying.

 

Anyway, UWO was my top choice, so here's to hoping that things work out!

[tb123]

Accepted to London.

GPA: 3.94

MCAT: 14P 11B 12V Q

ECs: First Responder, high- level charity involvement, shadowing and coaching among others.

Interview: Thought it was my best one, talked well over time and got along well. My 2 bits of advice- interview like a person you would want to be your colleague. I got the best responses when I could show some humility and a sense of humor about myself.

 

Western is one of my final choices, will be deciding in the next week hopefully.

[worriedforherfuture]

Accepted to London campus!

 

GPA: 3.94

MCAT: P: 11, B: 11, VR: 11, Wr: Q

ECs: Volunteering at hospitals, research for two summers, lots of activities including sports and music with a lot of leadership positions, Saturday school teacher and dance teacher, written a few articles for a local newspaper

Interview: I thought it was my worst one of the lot...though I went for a full hour and my panel was really, really nice.

 

I'm probably going to be accepting the offer within the week...this was my second choice, but all day long it's been growing on me and it just feels right. I think Western is definitely the right place for me.

[hockeypenguin04]

Accepted to Windsor campus!

 

Best 2 Years GPA: 3.90

MCAT: PS: 12, BS: 12, VR: 11, WS: Q

ECs: Long term volunteer with Big Brothers Big Sisters, 2 year job in a lab, teaching Kaplan MCAT course, various leadership positions with my uni

Interview: Thought it went great!

 

Excited to meet everyone!

[nashaiy]

I thought I posted but perhaps I was mistaken:

 

GPA: 3.94

MCAT: 12PS/11VR/12BS

ECs: I didn't plan on going to med school until last year so none of my ECs have medically related experience (except for one small one). Mainly student council (president), member of some local and international executive committees (nothing saving the world, mainly professional societies), volunteering, very little research, no pubs. However, I had some decent experiences like working abroad, etc. that might have given me an edge.

Interview: Thought it went ok. Nothing spectacular but didn't screw up too much.

 

Have no idea what school I'm going to choose. Queen's was my top choice and the only one that I was waitlisted for so I might wait right to the deadline to decide. UWO and Alberta are my next top.
