Way back at the begining of the school year, I posted something telling you all that I was applying to med school. I had hoped that this post would be written under different circumstances, and that I would be warning you all that I would be in Hamilton interviewing at McMaster come March... but... alas, my application did not stand out in the crowd of some 5000 + people applying for 140 spots.
So... I didn't make it :(
But... I will be re-applying next year. By then I will have the masters degree under my belt and hopefully some bigger and brighter life experiences.
Just thought I would keep you updated :)

I'm going to finish my masters (which I would have had to drop out of if I got accepted). I'm doing a joint masters in biophysical science and cognitive/behavioural neuroscience.
Once that's done, and if I still don't get in, I'll go ahead and do my PhD in either motor control or something to do with neurotoxins... I'm not sure yet.
It's kind of disappointing (really disappointing actually)... but 'tis life. If med doesn't work out, I'll find something else.

Same thing happened to my sister way back. Now she is a 'scientist' down in San Francisco with Nektar Therapeutics, making tonnes of cash, and loving everything about it. Funny how life works out. Best of luck. I guess Quenn's is even more picky?

Sorry to hear they didn't accept you yet. Just keep in mind that things happen for a reason, maybe something phenomenal will happen for you this year that you would have missed out on if they'd accepted you to start this year. Keep working at it and I'm sure you will succeed.

Sorry to hear that you got turned down, but look on the up side, you can finish the schooling that you're currently in and it looks even better when you apply next time.

As said, stick with it and I'm sure it will all work out in your favour. You seem to have a very flexible attitude about it, so no doubt you will end up with a career you'll love!
