Summary of Application Experience
I'm applying after my 3rd year of undergrad at Dal, I wrote the MCAT after 2nd year, got a 35N, the writing sample disappointed me because I took an MCAT course and I consistently got in the R-T range, but oh well
I applied to Dal, Queens, Western and Toronto
I got an interview at Dal and Toronto, rejected at Queens and Western for 'Not meeting academic requirements', where I believe it's because my writing sample didn't surpass the cutoff required
I had my interview for Dal in 02/2008, and it was the MMI format, the first station sucked because I started out on a break, and my first station didn't go well, as I was kind of nervous and couldn't get out what I wanted to say, but then the other 9 stations went well, so I'm just waiting to hear back from them in terms of acceptance/rejection
I just learned on Mar. 3/08 that I got an interview at U of T for April 13th, so hopefully that goes well!
Just got my acceptance letter today, Mar. 28/08, for Dalhousie.
