still_tryin88 Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Invite Date Stamp: Jan 28, 2016 1:38pmLocation: IPStream: EnglishwGPA: 3.98Current year: Masters complete, working for past yearECs: Hospital volunteering (lots of patient contact), student government (relatively small stuff), a few nifty clubs I liked (some health related, others not), research (a couple 2nd author pubs, 2 first authors in the works, no grants or anything), a few awards for academic performance/leadership The Friendly Ghost (CASPer): I always think I do brutal on these things. Not an awesome speed typer, and never feel like 5 min is enough to discuss both sides of a complex issue. I sucked in 1st and 2nd year GPA-wise, did much better in 3rd and 4th, then did a MSc. Went back to do some more undergrad courses to boost my GPA, graduated and have been working for a year in that field. Don't give up hope if you were an immature student (like me) when you were 18 - it is possible to overcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
