hmmmm Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 I don't think it is essential (although I didn't have it and got rejected post interview last year ). But if your stats are stellar you should get accepted (my VR was 8 which may have contributed to the rejection) ------> By the way AWESOME username Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maadaputtar Posted September 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 Oh, so sorry to hear that you didn't go past the interview stage. I am a graduate student, so hopefully that can help me a little. -----> I am surprised someone actually made sense of my username. It tells me what your background is I don't think it is essential (although I didn't have it and got rejected post interview last year ).

hmmmm Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 I think that would be very advantageous, especially at U of T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOC_Ma Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 out of my curiosity what does your username mean? And to my understanding it is not essential. Friend of mine got in after 3rd year, with 4.0 GPA 4xfirst author publications + TONS of other stuff. I know that he didn't go overseas. Other 4 friends in med school all went overseas but got into different med schools, none got accepted at uoft. This is not stats but I hope it still helps a little . I went overseas but I doubt it will be any significant in the overall process Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbrugby Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 i never volunteered overseas. i never even volunteered in a hospital having valuable experiences and being able to market the experiences you do have and why they are valuable to yourself/medicine is way more important than the exact experience there's no magic formula whatsoever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just go work in a soup-kitchen! (Seriously, there's lots of stuff to do right at home that they will love you for). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest viscous Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 haha, literally it means Son of a Mother. But intended meaning would be to represent the dignity and one's readiness to aggressively protect the semi-holy relationship between him, as a son, and his mother from being criticized or disgraced. I speak Shahpuri punjabi, so it might have some other intended meanings in Doaabi or Pwadhi punjabi (Gurmukhi) variants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmmmm Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Usually the intended meaning is Mama's Boy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maadaputtar Posted September 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 you both are actually right, but my intention was more like what viscous said. but i am a mama's boy as well, so i guess hmmmm is rite too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
