Neural_Ark Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 TIME STAMP: January 19 10:28 AM Interview Date: TBD Result: Invite! wGPA: 3.97 MCAT: 127 CARS ECs: Lots of varied activities (some personal) and several long-term ones for Top 10. Lots of research (although no pubs.) Year: 4th Year BSc. Geography : IP For anybody looking at these forums for advice or an idea of how to approach applications in the upcoming cycles, all I would say is for you to make sure your top 10's mean something to you. It seems like a trivial piece of advice, but I'm convinced that you must really tell the school WHY it means something to you. What skills did you gain? Did you gain any insights which will help your development as an ethical, moral, and understanding person? Goodluck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birdy21 Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 Hi everyone, late to the game here! TIME STAMP: January 19 9:14 AM MST Interview Date: February 24 Result: Invite wGPA: 3.51 (yes, really) MCAT: 128 CARS ECs: Standard research, volunteering, leadership etc. Year: 5th year BSc Geography : IP All I can say is that I've spent the last week in complete shock that I actually got an invite. I thought with my extremely low wGPA that there was no chance in the world. For anyone with low stats feeling a bit hopeless about applications - don't give up!! Do everything you can to improve your stats, and beyond that use the rest of your application to your advantage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
