Congrats to those of you who have been accepted! Have some fun this summer because you're in for a busy upcoming year! For those of you waitlisted good luck! and for those of you who weren't as lucky, try again next year! Most of us at NOSM didn't get in on our first try ;)

I seriously thought I had zero chance. Decent gpa and context/application/ECs but I thought my interview was crap.

 

Congrats to everyone!

Accepted!! T-Bay

Time stamp:8:51

cGPA: 3.83

Context: lived in a small town in MB until 7 then Wpg until 5 years ago when I moved to Petawawa. Although some rural living, no Northern Ontario and high school in Wpg so probably not a great context score I'm sure which may offer hope to others.

Interview: I thought it went well.

 

I will be declining this offer in favour of Mac. It's a really tough choice but logistically Mac works better for my family. Good luck to all those on the wait list!

Offer: Waitlisted #6

Definitely accept offer if and when it comes around as it was my only application. Have no interest in pursuing medicine down south.

If accept, what campus? I would prefer Sudbury, as I am living in Sudbury

GPA: 3.67, Health promo grad, finishing master thesis this summer (biomechanics).

Context: Lived in multiple places up north as a kid, parents currently live in Moonbeam. EC's: lots of sports (hockey and baseball especially), volunteer tutor, shadowed family doc, work with First Nations activity centre....

Comments: Felt awesome coming out of the interview... I felt like I bombed one question, did ok on two but the felt great about the rest of the questions. I came out feeling extremely good about my performance, but as days went by I doubted my performance. All in all, I'm assuming there is one declined so far, which means I should be down to #5... hope to see an acceptance letter!

Accepted!!! Thunder Bay

 

4th year applicant

cGPA: 3.82

ECs: First Responder, high- level charity involvement, shadowing and coaching among others.

Context: Thunder Bay born and raised, went to S ON for university but came back each summer and many of my most impactful ECs are here.

Interview: Thought it was very weird, but not awful. Regardless it must have been fine :D

 

I will likely turn down NOSM, but plan on just enjoying the moment for now and making a decision next week. I will make sure to let those on the waitlist know as soon as I come to a decision.
