Sergie Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Reviewed - decision pending All necessary documents have been received and your application has been reviewed but a decision cannot be made at this time. Most decisions will be made by the decision release deadline posted on our website. For CEGEP students only: We are unable to make a decision until courses in progress have been completed. Please see your decision letter for further details. This is from HELP section. So, don't worry yet. cross your fingers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p0795195 Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 I'm sorry but at this time of year its not a good sign. if a desision is made on your file it is way too early for an acceptance. Good luck with your other applications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iDreamOfMed Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Yiikes, I guess that they are starting to decide who not to call in! How dreadful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joiningtherace Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 mine still says ready for review but yeh u IP/OOP pre/post interview? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vihsadas Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Wow, I guess they started soon! Are you guys IP/OOP or other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justletmein Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 I assume from the OP's previous posts that he is OOP. The IP invites haven't gone out yet. If you weren't granted an interview and your status changed to "decision made" then sorry to tell you but you been rejected. I got that last year... If you did interview, then it can mean anything (accept, WL, reject) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p0795195 Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 By the way, if you get an interwiew your status should change to "further review required". At least it did in the past Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dany Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 Haha...so I guess that's the poetic way of saying: "You're rejected" Just be frank, I got the same message last year, and...and...and I am not at McGill now. Good luck anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choco7 Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 I got a reviewed-decision pending as well and i emailed them to ask about it. This is their answer: There are no final decisions made yet as to your application. We are presently interviewing candidates and should we need to interview more once the process has been finished, it will only be done then. So i'm not sure of what this means.. but i know that those who got completely rejected already got their answer... so maybe there is still hope? anyone?

choco7 Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Do you have any idea as to why? what was ur position when u got that? my grades are good (3.8/4) and 30Q mcat, its my first time applying... i didnt get an interview... could they still open up some days for new interviews?

shawnkarls Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 They wont open up new interview spots...its basically the same thing as the waiting list, but to get an interview. So only if someone backs out of their interview (in advance) would you maybe (depending on your position on the waitlist) get a call/email.

Rework your letter for next year, beef up you EC's, volunteering etc and you should have a good shot. As for the interviews (I am assuming that you are IP), the chances of an Quebec resident giving up their interview spot is slim to none.. so I wouldn't bank on getting a late interview. Last year I didnt get an interview... I had that message until after the interview period was over, when I got my rejection letter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vihsadas Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Unfortunately in past years, this message is basically a rejection. The people that are interviewed for IP generally don't back out of their interviews; the attendance level is near 100%. Let's just try to do whatever we can to make our applications better for next year and hope that they take notice. Don't be discouraged! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choco7 Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 I'm very curious to see what are the stats of the people that got that message... just to be able to compare in terms of grades. Put aside the extracurricular, because i believe ppl who apply are involved in many activities. im a 3.8/4, MCAT 30Q Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vihsadas Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 I don't mind posting mine (although it's already on MDapps). 3.3/4 40S (15PS 11VR 14BS WSS) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put aside the extracurricular, because i believe ppl who apply are involved in many activities.im a 3.8/4, MCAT 30Q Don't underestimate the weight of ECs and the Autobiographical essay. Last year, I got no interview. I did not rewrite the MCAT. I didn't do a postbac. I didn't go to Africa to save babies. I simply rewrote my autobio completely so that it highlighted my activities and strengths, but most importantly clearly explained my reasons for wanting to become a doctor. So bottom line, my numbers stayed the same from year to year, and this year I got an interview.... p.s. I have an MCAT of 32 and 2 friends with a 28 and similar GPA got interviews last year and one of them got in. So it's not all in the numbers...

justletmein Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 do they have really really high GPA's? one of them did but they both had amazing leadership/ECs. I'm not saying anyone with a 28 can get in, but if you have a very strong app then they are willing to look past the numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
