Hi guys,

I am what you would call a non-traditional applicant to the 6 years program, since I am 29 years old, already graduated from law school and business school and operate my own business.

I recently got my scores to the standardized tests:
SAT: 1640
Reading: 610
Writing: 530
Maths: 510

TOEFL: 107 / 122
Listening : 29/30
Speaking : 26/30
Writing : 28/30
Reading: 24/30

I didn't get the results to my A Levels exams I took in january yet, but I had 4 weeks to go through the whole program of Maths, Biology and Chemistry so, we'll see haha.

I will also shadow a surgeon for a couple of weeks, hopefully it will enhance my application.

There was no topics about WCMC-Q recently so I thought I'd start one !

Anybody else applying this year ?

Hi @twonao I'm applying directly to Cornell Qatar 4 year medical program. I recently graduated from college here in NYC. Are you applying to 2017 cycle?

hey @CityEr just wondering how is your application for WCMC-Q going? did you get an interview yet? I also applied to the 4 year program and still waiting for a response from them

Sure !

Also anyone you know who has an idea about how Skype interviews usually go?

Yay congrats! Good luck! I have a quick question, doesn't the interview only take place at their campus, or have they started doing it online? Thanks! 🙂
