Has anyone been accepted from rural Nova Scotia in the past few years?


Recommended Posts

I'm determining if its worth reapplying this year. I was not offered an interview  in the 2016/2017 application cycle although my GPA and ECs were quite high. I lived in rural NS most of my life.

 I think that rural context may have been low as most towns in Nova Scotia have a stronger Metropolitan Influenced Zone (MIZ). I'm assuming NOSM uses the MIZ map/statistics provided by Statistics Canada to calculated a rural context score. 

If you are or know someone who has been accepted from Nova Scotia please let me know.

Cheers!

Statistics are overwhelmingly (89%) applicants from Northern Ontario. The other 7 applicants were all from "rural/remote" locations in Canada.    If you have Aboriginal or Bilingual / Francophone background that may assist your application.   I would guess it may depend on what you mean by rural Nova Scotia.  If you are within an hour of a larger center with a hospital I doubt that is what they are aiming at.
