Summary of Application Experience
1st try Canada - 2007-2008 cycle I cannot believe that I got an interview at Queen's, it's absolutely a miracle that it happened. I'm in my 3rd year... My cGPA seems low, but really it's due to one bad mark... without which, it's ~3.8, but apparently even with that grade I made the MCAT and mark cutoffs. The rejection from McMaster was expected, but this interview from Queen's is definitely a shocker for me.
2nd try Canada - 2008-2009 Cycle Anticipating rejection everywhere because of verbal fluke.
