TIME STAMP: 12:36PM

Result: Invite

wGPA: 3.8

MCAT: PS 14/ VR11/ BS12

ECs: well below average (hospital stuff in high school, volunteering tutor/mentor with at-risk youth 3 yrs, some lab research/thesis no-pubs, no ECs/clubs etc., couple tiny gpa related awards)

Year: finished undergrad, gap year

 

I will be honest - I realize I am not such a competitive applicant in terms of ECs/med experience etc (compared to what ppl post on premed), so I am pretty sure I am ranked pretty low on the interview invite list, got to work really hard for the interview - to get a shot at acceptance, especially since queen's has lowest post-interview chance :(

 

scared about it, but grateful for a chance.
