Official McMaster 2011-2012 Interview Acceptance/Regrets Thread


Recommended Posts

Well.. Seeing as I started the thread, I might as well start the list of rejections.. It has been 40 minutes since any emails, so I am going to assume the obvious at this point.

 

1. Regrets

2. Ottawa

3. 3rd year

4. 3.90 GPA

5. 11 VR

6. Other Comments: Thought my Casper answers were decent, but a bit unbalanced.. Long paragraph for first answer, but then only a few sentences for next couple of answers for a given scenario. Only school I applied to this year so big bummer for me not even getting an interview =( I was hoping for it with my GPA and Verbal.

Assumed Rejection

Geographical Status: Ontario (Toronto)

Category: 3th year undergraduate

cGPA: 3.96

Verbal: 11

Other Comments: It is hard to tell how well I did on Casper as even though I thought it went well, I have no comparison point. Congrats to everyone who got an interview and for those who didn't, there's always next year.

1. Invited/Regrets : Invite

2. Geographical Status: Ontario

3. Category: BMSc Grad '11

4. GPA : ~3.9

5. Verbal: 10

 

I didn't get invites to Queens (which I thought I would get) or Ottawa (ABS wasn't up to par for them), I had basically written off Mac because I wasn't pleased with my CASPer performance...so I'm still in absolute shock. Is this real?! I keep thinking about last year's Queens mishap for some of my friends and remain skeptically ecstatic lol

 

:D

Hey all,

 

I'm a current McMaster MD student and I just wanted to put the correct information out there for all of those on here wondering and worrying. Packages (for those invited to interview) and letters (for those who are not invited to interview) left McMaster, by mail, yesterday. Those who are receiving an invitation package also received an email from Wendy today. She is not emailing the others – their personalized letter should reach them in the next few days.

 

Take care, and good luck.

1. Invite

2. In province, GTA

3. 3rd year

4. 3.62 GPA (3.37 1st year, 3.87 second year)

5. 10 VR

6. Other Comments: Totally and utterly surprised! Considering my stats and the fact that I thought I did well on CASPer (but not well enough to make up for my stats), I was expecting the rejection and braced myself for it mentally. So you can imagine how elated I am about this right now. This was supposed to be a trial run just so I can get used to the application process and I was not expecting to get this far at all! Good luck to everyone else!

 

Time stamped 3:05 and from Wendy.

1. Regret - Officially received my letter in the mail on Feb. 6

2. Ontario

3. Completed BSc, Completed MSc, currently doing 2nd UG

4. cGPA: 3.28 (I know :( )

5. VR: 9

6. I didn't received an email today, so I assume I'm on the list of rejections. Although I am a little disappointed, I can't say I'm surprised with my stats. I'm 0/3 so far this year...c'mon UofT!!!

 

Congrats to everyone who received an invite. Best of luck with the interviews. I spent 6 years at McMaster (UG and MSc) and can honestly say it's a great school.
