Accepted/Rejected/Waitlisted??? (for current applicants)

[kaitieg]

Sorry for the late post, I have been traveling for 2 months now.

Here are the results:

Accepted: U of T, UBC, U of A, U of C.

Waitlisted: Queens.

Was REALLY hard to choose between UBC and U of T, but in the end I chose U of T because they gave me more information about their program and they have so many affiliated hospitals right on site.

Hope this shortens the Queens waitlist for someone!

Stats: I first author pub in high impact journal, 3.85 U of C GPA, 3.80 OMSAS GPA, 33R MCAT, 2 years working as an MOA in medical clinic, 2 summers research, lots of life experience.

Yay!!
Accepted today off the waitlist.

OMSAS GPA: 3.6 (Yep, I blame my Waterloo undergrad, which I loved though, haha), last two years: 3.85
Im also in grad school, so I think that might've helped.

MCAT: 11P, 11V, 12B, S
Applied: Western, Toronto, McMaster, Queens, Ottawa
Interviewed: Western, Queens
Accepted off waitlist: Western, Queen's
Interview: I was pretty nervous and therefore I think I was a bit goofy, but I actually had a really good chat with my interviewers at the end and felt the whole experience was pretty good!

Almost definitely taking Western, mainly for family/friends reasons, as they are both amazing schools so hope this helps someone out!!!!
GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE!!

What were your EC's like?

I have just under a year of research experience working on an undergraduate thesis, I've volunteered in a cancer center, a soup kitchen, a senior's day program, with various community-based programs, organized fundraisers for olympic athletes, and was on an intramural basketball team for 3 years during my undergrad. This past summer I volunteered for a few weeks in Costa Rica in a live-in facility for individuals with HIV/AIDS.

Overall I'd say that my EC's have been diverse, but as a tradeoff only a few of the activities have been for a long duration. Perhaps that was something that worked against me...
