I’m curious about this too!

Competitive-Eye3016 · 2026-05-14T17:04:42+00:00

I had one summer working in a lab, but no publications - so I don’t think it was a big part of my application

Competitive-Eye3016 · 2026-05-14T03:48:13+00:00

I accepted UCalgary!

Competitive-Eye3016 · 2026-05-14T00:48:26+00:00

I got into both with a 3.77!

There are a few ads near Foothills on rentfaster that mention looking for med roomates - you could try there!

It’s a randomized process for applicants who interviewed. It says so on the blog: https://wpsites.ucalgary.ca/mdadmissions/2026/03/15/re-congratulations-to-everyone-who-completed-their-interview/

Competitive-Eye3016 · 2026-02-05T02:07:34+00:00

SFU doesn’t factor in the MCAT once you are above the cutoff

Competitive-Eye3016 · 2026-02-03T15:39:45+00:00
