You can PM me for specifics but I don't want to be tied to this account. I don't think they're that amazing because they're all within the last few years (didn't know I wanted med until 2nd year, had a lot of mental health issues, etc.). Casper: Got an interview at Mac, so must have been OK. I thought it was pretty average. Answered honestly and I'm a fast typer, but I don't think it was spectacular.

Anderfishy Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 Does anyone know how to check whether or not they applied via the bilingual stream? I am bilingual but I genuinely cannot remember whether or not I applied through that stream or the pure English stream. I want to know if I need to brush up on my french!

Curious as to whether there's a difference between the rejection letter and the invite. From my invite-email last year, it mentioned "Congratulations" status of application in the subject line. Good luck to everyone, from the class of 2022! SnowmanTheSWOMEN 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ecdcsc Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 The invite says if you "voluntarily declared bilingualism (English and French)" you will be tested at the interview. What does this entail? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ecdcsc Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 Just now, whyudodistome said: When you apply on OMSAS, they ask you if you want to apply to the French or English streams. You already did that months ago, back in October or whenever you applied. Whatever language you pick is the language you interview in, and the language you are taught in if you make it. Does the personal information section where you select whether you can speak both languages or not affect how they will interview you? For example, if the French stream is picked but you clicked that you can speak both languages, will that be tested at the interview? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
