Would you recommend I contact admissions as well to make them aware of my specific case? As long as you're able to send your documents through Minerva I think it's okay, and they probably would have fix the problem by now for further email communications. But it won't hurt to contact them either if it makes you feel safer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coherence123 Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 TtIME STAMP: 10:05 for the email Result: Invite wGPA: 3.90 undergrad, currently doing a 1year course-based masters but no marks included MCAT: 518 ECs: family caregiving, some jobs at the bank, come tutoring, some sports etc; nothing I thought was major especially because I haven't gotten a single invite from a any ontario school in the past 3 years so... yeah not really sure what's going on here. Year: Last year of 1year masters IP/OOP/International: OOP Letter of EC: No CASPER: I think it went well, I'd done these a couple of times now so I felt like I knew an approach that worked for me and clearly it mattered but I didn't apply to mc and got rejected from Ottawa so I honestly couldn't tell you any more at this point. After 3 cycles of never getting to an interview in Ontario and just deciding to apply to McGill this year, I honestly think they had to have made a mistake for letting me interview but I also know we take those and I'm gonna try my best to ride this all the way to the bank. hope to see y'all there!

Ethicality Posted January 31, 2018 Report Share Posted January 31, 2018 Once we have submitted all three forms, is that all we have to do before showing up to the interview? Is there no verification email etc.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MedP111 Posted January 31, 2018 Report Share Posted January 31, 2018 Application statistics for the current cycle have been released: https://www.mcgill.ca/medadmissions/applying/after-youve-applied/currentapplicantstats The average GPA has shot up by quite a bit this year. Unsure this is just an outlier year or this will be a trend from now on. With only 260 invited so far, I would venture to guess that 20-30ish people will be invited to interview with the Med-P's later on, so here's some hope for the IP waitlisted folks.

Thanks for posting the link. I noticed that the number of MD/PhD invitations has increased substantially from 9 in 2017 to 19 in 2018. Would MD/PhD applicants be considered as a part of either "79 anticipated number of seats for Quebec residents" and "up to 11 anticipated number of seats for OOP Canadian citizens"?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe admitted MD/PhD applicants are indeed counted in both of these categories. 16 minutes ago, guest2017 said: sooo... better odds of getting an acceptance this year...? Number of invitations is less than last year, but remember that there are fewer seats available this year too. Plus, if they decide to go the route of inviting more IP people to interview with the Med-P's in April, then most likely the odds will actually be worse.

No, interview decisions for those of us who interview in 3 weeks will definitely be out by the end of March. Based on what happened in a number of past years (McGill sometimes inviting a few waitlisted people to interview with the Med-P's in April), however, some users have speculated that not all available seats are filled at the end of March. For instance, if there are 79 seats, only 70 offers might go out in March, with the 9 remaining ones offered to the 9 highest ranking candidates once the remaining candidates interview in April. See the waitlist discussion thread from last year to get the whole rundown! I don't really know why McGill does this. They've interviewed up to 300 IP people within 4 days in the past, so it's not like it's a problem of space. It's as though they just sometimes change their mind on how many they want to interview.

no-name Posted February 1, 2018 Report Share Posted February 1, 2018 Hey! Whether I'm accepted or no, I post this to encourage you guys to never give up : Result: Invite ! wGPA: 3.65 or 3,71 with EC MCAT: didn't submit ECs: volunteering ++, experience abroad, lots of different work experience, few research...i think I have a pretty good CV Year: UG (what year) : 2015 nutrition (Udem) honors program IP/OOP/International: IP Letter of EC: Yes I want to post this to encourage anyone out there to never give up. First year in my UG, I went to see a school advisor and he basically told me that I'd never get into MD. Despite that, I worked really hard and it's something I'm very proud of. Now getting an interview into MD and I'm confident.. feeling I really have my place even if my GPA isn't 4. It wasn't just bad experience. Even if I worked really hard at school, I also enjoyed life a lot (had jobs I was passionnate about, traveled when I could, etc.) Grades are important but not just the grades. It sounds really cheesy but the journey is important too, and all the things you learn through these years of premed. You can do it! Good luck to all of you doing the interview this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
