kozmik Posted January 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 congratulations!!! what were your stats like? mcgill doesn't post anything My cGPA is 3.9 OMSAS converted. and my DAT scores were not overly competitive (but I guess competitive enough ) RC = 22 BIO = 21 CHEM = 18 AA = 20 PAT = 22 carving = 23 I think the trick for McGill is to have a great autobiography and great references. So I took my time to make careful decisions on who should be my references and sat down with them to explain my decision for dental school and discuss the strengths/experiences I have that pertain to the field. I also wrote multiple drafts of my autobiogrpahy and had close friends help me edit it. I hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutEast Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Hey, I got notice by email yesterday. I have read before that McGill bases interview invites on marks and then gives you a score on everything (including interview) and gives the most competitive applicants an acceptance offer. Anybody know how many OOP interviews/acceptances they give? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sloken Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 From the website: "Interviews are conducted in the Faculty Offices in Montreal between mid-January and the end of February for U.S., International and Canadian applicants, late February for Québec residents applying to the D.M.D. program, mid-March for Québec residents applying to the Dent-P program. We will do our best to give you two weeks notice." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arnie Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Damn. I wish I applied to McGill. I'm from Ontario so I was like what are the chances that they'll interview me. After I told her my DAT score, I told my mom that I didn't apply to McGill... she tried to slap me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
