SoccerFanatic Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 According to last year's application cycle: It means that if there is a need for a future interview spot, they would review my file? Basically pre-interview waitlist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hippocampus Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 Wow... My application needs further review McGill GPA 3.98 Very pleasantly surprised. My essay came from the heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thumpinJD Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 Congrats to all who made the interview cut! Good luck on your interview. I'm a rejected grad student at McGill with degGPA of 3.95. I applied to the MD/PhD program. For curiosity, does McGill send the same rejection letter to everyone to make the rejected applicant feel better (i.e. "While the Committee found strengths in your application, it was simply overtaken by others in a highly competitive pool.")?

SoccerFanatic Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 I am thinking that all applicants get the same rejection letter, but not entirely sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ephemeros Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 Received the exact same e-mail regrets, and thanks for the kind words above while today has been extremely difficult if you think about it you have a lifetime to practise medicine, whether or not you are accepted this year or the next it makes no difference. As long as you are committed to a career in medicine you will find it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAMFtastic Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 OOP 3.98 Refused Lots of ECs and, I thought, really good letters. I wouldn't take it to heart everyone. I have interviews at the 5 other schools I applied to. Sometimes you don't win them all (: Edit: I did apply for the MD/MBA program at this school.

blindsight Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 Wow. Invited! I'm actually shocked about this one!! I love the possibility of maybe being able to stay here! I got two emails from McGill, one saying to check my status on Minerva, and another giving more information about the interview, links to their website with directions to accepting the invitation, etc. The first email came at 10:15pm and the second email came at 10:37pm, in case anyone is interested! cGPA:3.96, MCAT:38Q Personal Statement: I really liked mine! I felt like I didn't have enough room to say everything I wanted, but it was honest and heartfelt. ECs: typical well-rounded activities, showing high levels of commitment in each of them (ex two summers of research, scholarships, club execs, student government, music) grades (+mcat, if applicable) are worth 70% of getting an interview, so it's hard to say too much about the other aspects.

AngelDoc Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 Has anyone here applied in the Quebec non-traditional pathway? Still at "ready for review" on Minerva. Good luck to everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaded_envy Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 Congrats to those with interviews and good luck to everyone with interviews and acceptances! I was informed I was invited for an interview back in the end of December, but I'm an international student so maybe that's why? Starting to get really nervous about the MMI, I am not very informed on the health care system in either Canada or the USA... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do not need to have any specific knowledge about the healthcare system for the MMI. You will be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiceWine Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 You do not need to have any knowledge about medicine or the healthcare system for the MMI.

samy Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 i think it's a good idea to have some knowledge about healthcare system for the MMI...... +1 Also, I would recommend to read a bit about medical ethics... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaded_envy Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 Thank you for the kind words. I have been looking over the health care systems a bit and plan on delving more into medical ethics, I just find the former pretty confusing. XP Do you mind my asking from where you're applying? Been lurking this thread to see if any other MD-INTL applicants would pop up. Congrats on the invite! I'm applying from the US, and yeah I had also been lurking to see if there were any other international students as well. StudentDoctor barely has a thread on this, the forum here is much more helpful and informative though centered around IP/OOPs (which is only to be expected.)

jaded_envy Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 I've been looking for that book, but can't seem to find it at my library and I think it's a little too expensive to be buying right now. I'm hoping to substitute http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/eppp-archive/100/201/300/cdn_medical_association/cmaj/series/bioethic.htm for it. My only interviews for this session have been for University of Hawaii and McGill, the latter being my top choice, so I'm really hoping interviews go well. I've not done an MMI before, and my MCAT was fairly low honestly, so I'm really hoping to do well on them! Good luck to you too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clover_236 Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 So today is the invite day for IPs....has anyone had a status update on Minerva yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm_Bringer44 Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 I have not, and there is no update on neither twitter nor minerva. I am getting really stressed my legs are starting to feel numb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinosaur Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 I have not, and there is no update on neither twitter nor minerva. I am getting really stressed my legs are starting to feel numb. Also, they might use today and tomorrow to release decisions. Do not stress too much! It is not in your hands anymore...

MedOrNothing Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 are some oop still receiving offers? They said they would notify when they finished releasing the oop, so I'm guessing they havnt started the IP since OOP isnt over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoccerFanatic Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 OOP is most likely done. Emails were sent out for those who were invited. I am guessing they are just updating accounts for IP over the next 2 days. Hang in there everybody and the best of luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clover_236 Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 ^nope nothing. It would be nice if they could give us at least a general update as to when to expect status changes or if there are gonna be any further delays via twitter.
