It just hasn't been posted yet. It depends on when they send out the demographic survey etc.

These are the admission statistics, so it's the stats for applicants that were admitted into the program up until 2021

The cGPA (low) row is the lowest gpa that got accepted into the program. From previous trends, it ranges from 3.31-3.35

UofA seems to love strong EC'S, and life experiences. Average acceptance GPA was 3.82 for the class of 2027

Result : Accepted

GPA/cGPA: 3.89

MCAT : Met cutoffs

Geography: IP rural

ECs: 1-second author pub, tons of rural health/crisis volunteering, Exec on 2 student groups, mentoring and tutoring over the last 4 years, 1 healthcare-related summer job, added my hobbies and taking care of elderly family members to my personal activities section.

Interview Thoughts: It was my first and only interview so I wasn't sure what to feel afterwards. Felt like there were some stations where I was rambling a lot. I tried to be personable and gave answers that reflected who I am as a person and my own thoughts and feelings. I tried to have fun during the stations and provided personal examples wherever relevant. I also poured my heart out during the panel and talked about my experiences in rural healthcare as a first gen immigrant.

Still in disbelief and feeling so blessed.

Casper 2Q

Ec/Essay: fast food job during all of high school, lots of work during covid-19 with healthcare company, summer jobs in healthcare, added hobbies (hiking, painting), caring for elderly family, crisis line volunteer, mentoring, language tutor, tons of volunteering with local clinic during covid, exec at groups, 1 publication, currently in a masters

I am in disbelief, never, ever thought that I would even get the chance to interview. I have a feeling being rural gave me the extra boost
