magicschoolbusdropout Posted March 25, 2022 Report Share Posted March 25, 2022 This still doesn't feel real! Accepted IP NB GPA 4.0 MCAT 506 Casper 2nd quartile I am a graduate student (masters) and it's my second year applying. I was waitlisted last year. My ECs improved quite a bit with publications, research, scholarships, etc. But already had a lot of work and volunteer experiences. My big weakness was my interview so I spent a lot more time practicing this year. I can't wait to start! When will this start to feel real? I keeping waiting to get an "oops we made a mistake" email. I have read my acceptance letter to the point of memorizing it... premeditation, Ketchup97, PEIhopeful97 and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PEI30 Posted March 26, 2022 Report Share Posted March 26, 2022 Accepted IP (PEI) - 3rd cycle MCAT: 504 GPA: 3.6 CASPer: 4th Quartile What a journey! I was waitlisted the past two years and wrote the MCAT 4 times. I worked on improving my supplemental and interview over the last year to make up for my lower academic score. I never thought this day would come, so if anyone is feeling discouraged, know you can do it! justtryingtosqueezeby, McCoy, Bambi and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Next Meredith Grey Posted May 15, 2022 Report Share Posted May 15, 2022 Is anyone on the waitlist from rural Nova Scotia? I heard about the announcement of the pilot program between CBU and Dalhousie picking 5 students from rural NS from the waitlist. I was wondering when they will be picking those 5 students, or if anyone has heard anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know if my experience is more inspirational or cautionary. • 3.34cGPA, 4.2 Masters GPA • 506 MCAT • Career in health administration from Masters degree • Plenty of ECs over the 14 years since I decided to pursue medicine This was the last year my MCAT was valid, and probably the last year I would ever get an interview based on Dal’s new criteria for interview selection. This was my sixth application cycle since 2014. I’m 32 now. When I was waitlisted for the fourth time last March, I decided to act on a plan B: I wrote the LSAT, applied to Dal Law, was accepted and then was offered a full scholarship. I was singularly focussed on med from 2008 until 2021, but I’m now finding myself in a rare dilemma after finally reaching my goal. Law has gotten under my skin and the scholarship can’t be ignored. The last two years in a pandemic have made me reevaluate a few things, as has becoming a father during that time. I have a lot of thinking to do. This is truly an inspirational story. The amount of resilience you have is admirable. I'm less than a year away from becoming an attending and it's been a long and arduous road. I really recommending going with your gut - the law school and scholarship is a remarkable achievement. Priorities also shift when you start a family and med school/residency will be very demanding, but I'm sure so will law school. PM me if you want practical advice about a career in medicine (med school, residency, etc.). Wish you luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
