Leon Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 I turned mine in today what can I help you with:) Trying to compile a realistic list of schools, lol. Is it true that most MD/PhD programs in the States do not require tuition at all? It seems like quite the catch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tee88 Posted June 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 Trying to compile a realistic list of schools, lol. Is it true that most MD/PhD programs in the States do not require tuition at all? It seems like quite the catch whaaaaaat that's news to me... if that's true that would explain why there are so few MD/PhD individuals and why the stream is so small... but as far as I know that's not the case (I think there is some sort of break in the tuition but not a freeride) Have you bought an MSAR booked/just checked one out at Chapters? I have the old 2010-2011 one but it's pretty great for making a realistic list of schools! Also the message boards on here are pretty accurate in terms of schools taking Canadian students Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 I don't know if that's the case either, but I do know that if you are accepted at Case Western in the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College (I laugh every time I read that, though I know it's named after a donor, I always think of the centre for kids who can't read good lol..) it's free - pretty sweet deal, free school + rotations at cleveland clinic + PBL style program. I've lost all hope in Mac. Just waiting for the email to drop....I'm predicting tomorrow or Friday ...oh well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
margiethemoo Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 Hi guys, So I took a shot and e-mailed Wendy about when we might be hearing that the class is full, this is what she sent me: "We are still waiting on a few accepts (offers that were made after deferrals were granted). I expect these to be received soon. Once they are, and assuming there is no other changes, I will be sending out an email to those on the wait-list to let them know. We don’t officially collapse the wait-list until classes start in case anyone who has accepted, withdraws their acceptance (rare, but it has happened)…but if you prefer at that point to come off the wait-list you can let me know Take care Wendy" yep.. so.. soon! lol.. it's been fun guys.

Leon Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 yep.. so.. soon! lol.. it's been fun guys. Thanks for e-mailing! I was going to do the same so I can get some closure. Yea, it's been insane but also fun in a weird and sadistic kind of way. The one thing I got out of this is a bunch of new friends, haha. Let's make a thread in FB for AMCAS so we keep each other updated on the next round of applications. All of us will get in somewhere next year for sure. Best of luck !

I was really hoping you, margie, andy, and leon would join us!!! You guys are amazing and I am sure I will see you next year. I can't imagine how agonizing it must have been the last couple of weeks, since one week was enough to drive me nuts. That being said, it will all be worth it next year when you get in. Thanks again for keeping me sane! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I read Wendy's email to margie I was like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFy2K_jo-Kk&feature=fvwp (minus the baldness - the rest was all there) About this class full business, I have this to say: No more sadness in this thread! You're ALL winners and you're all amazing And there are bigger and better things waiting for all of you, and you need to inbox me your facebook IDs right now! And finally, I demand you dance to celebrate your combined awesomeness, without regard for people staring at you as though you're nuts.

I already anticipated this. I'm sure everything happens for a reason. Maybe I'll meet the love of my life in my year off, haha. I hope I'm lucky enough to get an interview next year and hope to see you guys in March! Adios amigos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anj88 Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 any thoughts on re-applying with the same stats? i'm unsure if that would be a 'throw away year' or if you can chaulk it up to the uncertainty of the rest of the pool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
job Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 any thoughts on re-applying with the same stats? i'm unsure if that would be a 'throw away year' or if you can chaulk it up to the uncertainty of the rest of the pool If your GPA is even mildly competitive (3.75ish) and VR is 10+, it will come down to really how well you perform on CASPER. Seeing as how the formula post-interview isn't changing (as far as I know), and the interview is still worth 70%, then applying with the same stats will just most likely get you an interview again and it'll be up to you to perform better (or get luckier) in your MMI circuit. I wouldn't consider it a waste of a year if you do something you enjoy and really re-explore why you want to get into medicine so you can come back to Hamilton in 7 months and really impress. If you're thinking about other school's however, it may be worth it to pursue a MSc or even just do a victory lap in another bachelor degree, or find a research job, or travel! All those things will always help an application but only if they affect you positively and if you view them positively. Good luck next cycle!
