Dragonite Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 According to u of t admin page “MD Applicants: We still have some interview spaces left. We will be sending out the majority of our interview invitations and letters of regret by the end of this week/early next week.” So the latest that most of us are going to hear back from them is Tuesday I think. The wait is tough but hang on everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FifthCycle Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 Y'all are being too pessimistic about this whole situation. Think of this as a Schrödinger's cat type situation: until we hear back we are both invited AND rejected. Pretty good news for everyone who, like me, has never been invited for an interview before. Just my 2c ps. PsychSoc was my highest MCAT section which may also subtly indicate why I am still/was only hopeful for UofT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FifthCycle Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 Just for clarification Schrödinger's cat = PsychSoc High PsychSoc ~ I had a personally low verbal score [I realize this implication was poorly communicated. I apologize. I realize communication is also a CanMEDs role so tisk tisk] Low verbal score = UofT is my only hope UofTease is my only hope = Sad. Sad = Acceptmenextcyclehowbowdah.

You're going to have to give us some deets for good answers. But in general: do ECs that you enjoy, think why you enjoy them, and then relate those aspects to medicine. Let's say you like music and you taught yourself how to play guitar. That shows you can be independent, self-sufficient, and dedicated - all great characteristics of a doctor. Lets say you play recreational team soccer through your city sports program. Eventhough this isnt intramural level sports, you've probably still developed quite a few teamwork skills, again very important for doctors. In general, it's not just what you do, it's how you sell it. As for the essays, make them as personal as you can and juice 'em up with canmed. Hope this helped.
