McGillMedAmbassadors Posted February 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 Is there a place where you can check-in luggage (for OOP or international students flying in)? There is a place for people to leave their coats and bags, so you should be able to leave your luggage there. If it is carry-on size (or of reasonable size), I see no problem with that.

McGillMedAmbassadors Posted February 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 Was this for McGill? I find it weird. I know for most med interviews you're normally expected to wear a suit and tie (for men) but the McGill website says that a suit is optional and a tie is not necessary. However, I also don't want to feel under-dressed. Refer to earlier about suggestions on what to wear. I think that Arztin's comment does apply for McGill. Again, suits and ties are fine, you won't feel out of place, but it is also okay to wear nice dress pants and shirts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahaha trust me, Montréal has many other wonders for you to discover. One advantage of having the campus downtown is its proximity to fun and interesting places!

Celexa Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Hi guys, can you tell me what are the evaluators looking for? I mean in each scenario, what are we being evaluated on? Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sceptical Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 From the admissions page: "Stations are designed to evaluate the various abilities and skills that form the basis of the Physicianship curriculum component." (Not super informative) The MMIs are used to assess non-academic qualities as listed here. Keep in mind that Admissions does not divulge their evaluation scheme, so we don't really know what the evaluators are "looking for".

McGillMedAmbassadors Posted February 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Hi guys, can you tell me what are the evaluators looking for? I mean in each scenario, what are we being evaluated on? Thank you! Sceptical couldn't have said it better. We as student ambassadors are unable to tell you what each scenario is "looking for" specifically, but from my experience, I have to agree that each station is designed in a way to evaluate certain qualities that one would hope to find in a physician (refer to link from Sceptical's post for more information). Hoping that you enjoyed your time with us, and best of luck! Sceptical and Celexa 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vigilante Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 On http://www.mcgill.ca/medadmissions/applying/after-youve-applied/admissions-decisions, I see this : " RefuseApplicants who are interviewed will receive final decisions or waitlist offers within about 2 weeks of the relevant interview dates. " Does it mean the refused and waitlisted will have their answer in a week or so?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omega109 Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 I think it means that at the time the page was updated, all the applicants who performed the MMI were supposed to receive their answer two weeks after their interview. They must have changed the delay without updating the webpage. MDCMapplicant2015 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SunAndMoon Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 Yeah pretty sure the page wasn't updated. The info provided at the interview is the most accurate one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MD18 Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 I don't know for any of the other interviewees, but I was really hoping and holding on to the idea the website was right hahaha!!

Celexa Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 Are they releasing the answers throughout the day on the 16th or will Minerva be updated on the 16th midnight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunAndMoon Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 hate to be a party pooper but they never actually said it would be ON march 16th...they just said it'd be the week of march 16th but that they would try as much as possible to give decisions early on in the week MDCMapplicant2015 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Faculty said that they are hoping to release the decisions on the week of March 16th. I can assure you that they are really working as hard as they can to get the decisions out as soon as possible, but the reality is that the process of reviewing candidates' performance at the MMIs is a lengthy and challenging one, and the Faculty wants to make sure that every candidate is equally considered. Hang in there though - the week of March 16th already is less than a month away! MDCMapplicant2015 and SunAndMoon 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
