Fresh fry Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 hey thanks for letting us know jyl.I guess there is some movement. I'm getting very discouraged now though,,,because I thought I had a pretty good chance. just wondering does anyone know if they only take certain number of MSc grad at U of A? There is no cut off for MSc grads. There is no separate pool for people with MSc's. You are either considered 1) IP 2) OOP and you are ranked accordingly. The only impact your MSc has on your entire application is that it gives you a single solitary additional point out of a score of 100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 As far as I know, within each of IP and OOP there are 2 further groups: 2/3 years and 4th year/MSc/PhD. Alberta is an amazing school and was beyond impressed by the facility, the history and the student body during interview day. Great school to study at and I know I would have been confident in its education and curriculum in providing me the best of experiences. Even though U of A is further away, I have a tough decision make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComeOn!! Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 just got accepted off the IP waitlist! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelayedMedapplicant Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 Congrats to all those so far accepted off their respective waitlists. It's looking like there is very little movement for IP rural waitlist. I am not surprised as there are only 10 seats and as with all of us I have no idea where I am on that list. Here is hoping something miraculous happens for me as I have a few friends already accepted it would be great to finally start my MD this year at 34.

AMS Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 DelayedMedapplicant you're still in the 4th year IP pool too if I'm not mistaken. So even if the rural pool doesn't move there's hope for the other pool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelayedMedapplicant Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 Thanks everyone for the words of encouragement. It means a lot right now! Hopefully you're correct about being included in the fourth year IP as well as the Rural IP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kardia123 Posted June 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Hey guys, I was accepted off the waitlist last Thursday (June 13th) morning, and my deadline to respond is on June 20th (exactly 1 week). I will be taking this offer because it is the only school that is willing to take me out of a total of 7 schools that I applied to. I totally understand the frustration of being on the waitlist and I really hope to see more of you guys next year. I am sure that we are all equally qualified but are limited simply due to the number of seats. Sorry for the late update on this and I hope the best of luck for everyone who are still on the list, I am rooting for all of you!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arryn Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 what are people's plans if they do don't hear back? i've started looking for a job already. will be applying again next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelayedMedapplicant Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 I plan to rewrite the MCAT to improve my chances for next year. I feel like if my score was a few points higher maybe I would have been accepted out right or ranked higher on the waitlist. I will continue in my current job that I have been in for the last 4 years, research technician at the UofA. It would be nice if the UofA gave us some indication if the class is now complete though.
