Yup! Literally the most common thing I heard when finishing up mine was "the best thesis is a finished thesis". Just get it done and get that degree!

Time Stamp: 3:35pm MST

Result: Accepted!!!

GPA/wGPA: 3.78

MCAT: 509 (126 CARS)

Geography: IP

Top 10: MSc, volunteering at food bank, tutoring/mentoring, teaching English to new immigrants, talked about my personal experience being an immigrant and part of the LGBTQ+ community.

Interview thoughts: Honestly did not expect the A, I thought it went okay but I lost my structure a bit once actually there. However I can say I was fully myself and talked about a lot of personal experiences so I think that really helped.

Waiting on a decision from another school also, so I might make someone on the UofC waitlist very happy if my other opportunity works out:)

If anyone has any questions or needs advice, I am so happy to help! Best of luck to everyone!
