In the main forum, there is so much activity regarding acceptances, interviews and all that.

Being from Ontario, I submitted everything in one shot on Oct1, and now must wait for MONTHS before hearing anything.
What are you canadians (ontarians) upto!
 
Be patient oh virgin applicant (jj :laugh: ). With marks like that in your mdapplicant file ... someone will bite for at least an interview!

You only applied to Ontario anyway - why do that? Kinda risky knowing the evidence to show how hard it is to get into Ontario let alone Canadian medical schools😕
 
Yea, but the out of province applicant pool is a joke. McGill for example accepts 6 or so out of province. So chances are much reduced.
I wanted to apply to more places in the States, but the costs, deadlines etc. were discouraging.

Yea, patience is a virtue.

Don't you also count as Quebecois, you said (born here)? If so, you can apply to McGill until January 15th.

I applied to Ontario last year too. It's a crazy-making, long, miserable wait. I would advise you to stay busy and not think about it, but I know firsthand how ridiculous that advice is.

I have a feeling you'll be fine though. You'll have your pick with those stats. 🙂
 
Sorry. Yes, its true I'm considered Quebecois, so I have no out of province status anywhere I applied.
I meant to use it as an example, since I don't know exactly how many Dalhousie or Alberta accept, for example. I have a friend who applied everywhere in Canada, and North Eastern US.. that may have been more prudent.
 
I am also playing the waiting game. However, I think my only chance is at Ottawa unless UofT seems something miraculous in my application. 🙄
 
akinf: your very strong essay might help you a lot. I'm sure everything you submitted was well written, and schools may realize that your verbal score was a fluke.
I know some people who matriculated UofT with a 7 in VR btw.
Good luck.
