thought i'd continue the sticky thread so the stats are easier to access.
bummer that I have to post a rejection though! GPA: 3.28 Context: Rural/remote but not N. Ontario. Fluent in french EC's: ++ in healthcare, self directed, founder of many initiatives. Interview: Thought I did very well Having a higher GPA with another degree might be the ticket, but I think it is time to move forward from this dream and embrace another, while I am still in my 40's! I just took a newly created position with the NT Gov't, to develop a strategy for Cancer for the territory, so for the first year I will be travelling to different communities to listen to the people, researching and writing. Never done policy work before but I am really excited about this opportunity. It means moving away from direct patient care, but I think it will be a good change and will open some doors for me. Good luck to everyone on your own journeys

Took 3 years but finally got accepted to NOSM! Here are my stats:
GPA: 3.71 Francophone and Aboriginal Applicant. Lived in Northwestern Ontario my whole life. Worked as an RN in a rural hospital for the past 2 years. A few ECs, mostly done during University. Interviewed: NOSM, McMaster, Calgary, Western Accepted: NOSM, McMaster, Western For those still on the waiting list or got rejected don't give up! I was number 54 in my first year and 56 in my second year of application. If this is your dream, keep trying. Determination will pay off.

I too was rejected. After three years (finished 3rd on the waitlist year 1, followed by 2 years of reserve waitlists) I will also be moving on. My future plans do not involve work in a medical or related field.

Thank you both. Often life doesn't go as planned. Just have to make the best of it.

I understand where you are coming from and others who choose to pursue other career paths after mulitple application cycles especially when you dont see progress each cycle. I wish you the best of luck in your journey and know that you will be successful no matter what you ultimately choose and what chooses you.
