I was accepted off the waitlist my year like 2-3 days after I found out I was waitlisted. Typically the bulk of the movement happens once people make the MUN vs Dal choice (so in the next couple weeks or so). There can be another small bump in movement when other Canadian schools results come out too.

MUN Med Matching
PulsusParadoxus replied to garceyues's topic in Medical Student General Discussions
See image below, not many sub-subspecialty training programs. That said, MUN students have been successful at matching to those programs not offered at MUN through the years. There are also always a handful of people who match to MUN programs who did medicine elsewhere. -
MUN Med Matching
PulsusParadoxus replied to garceyues's topic in Medical Student General Discussions
Hey! Current MUN Med student here, just wondering whether you mean in terms of MUN students matching outside of Newfoundland and Labrador or matching to a residency program at MUN in general from either MUN or another program! -
Hey! Current third year at MUN here. You have to option to do two week placements in NB in first, and second year. There are also a number of clerkship streams where you spend all of your time in NB. As for fourth year, you can do electives in NB through MUN if you choose to. If you’ve got any questions, you can PM me and I’d be happy to answer them for you.

Dalhousie Medical School to add 16 seats
PulsusParadoxus replied to beavertail's topic in Dalhousie University Medical School
Huh interesting, I never knew that they had those seats as supernumerary ones. Perhaps you’re right and they just didn’t have enough uptake in this category but this is a way to try and increase people with rural backgrounds in the program. Side-note, phenomenal username, I’m re-reading the series before starting clerkship. -

Chances for interview (NB category)
PulsusParadoxus replied to Maggie19's topic in Memorial University Medical School
Most likely, especially if it's sustained like that. Shows you can perform academically, even though you had a rough start. MUN can be pretty forgiving GPA-wise. The first time I applied my GPA was very mediocre, my EC's were very basic and I still received an interview as an NB resident. I never really understood how, but it happened. I guess they saw something in my application that they liked, as the website says that they take "a holistic approach" to evaluating applications. That said, nothing in life is guaranteed but death and taxes and you never quite know what the competiti
