My understanding is a set number of seats can be given to OOP applicants (15%?), and if OOP applicants interviewed better than IP applicants as a whole they would still only be able to make up that set percentage of the incoming class. I think we would need to know how many OOP applicants received interview invites to gauge the competitiveness however.

Interview invites expected date?
ballsortahard replied to Raisin Bran's topic in University of Alberta Medical School
I got mine at 11:15 am last year -
Just out of curiosity where did you find that UofA stat? All I could find was a mean age of 25.5.

What schools have a separate pool for MD/PhD applicants?
ballsortahard replied to Canadian123's topic in Research Discussions
Maybe this is a ridiculous question but how good does your french need to be? I would assume the interview is in french? -
Uofc med school admission
ballsortahard replied to Drifter's topic in University of Calgary Medical School
might hurt your "overall academic merit" section a little but all in all if you're GPA is decent (and you have all the there stuff) you should be fine. -

Just as a follow up, I've shadowed 15 ophthalmologists over this summer and a couple of them seem to have an appreciation for handblown glass. I've been looking into getting into glass blowing to help with CARMS but would appreciate any suggestions. Would it be enough to take lessons maybe once a week for the next 3 years or should I invest in a home setup so I can practice more (~$5k to $25k which ofc I would put on my LOC). Alternatively are there similar hobbies I could try instead? I have a real fear of heat/fire but if necessary this is something I am willing to take on.

Just out of curiosity where are you living where you can but a house for 100k? -
Using Youtube for medical education..
ballsortahard replied to medicine200000's topic in Medical Student General Discussions
Any channels or websites in particular you would recommend? I always kinda assumed most of the resources online were more aimed at an american curriculum. -

Seems like a good idea, theres a chance they might not even notice it OP. -

Leaving career for med
ballsortahard replied to petitmonstre111's topic in Non-Traditional Applicants/Grad Students
Say I loved my part time job, do you have a ball park of how many hours a week I could commit to putting into it while in first year med school? or would it be to variable to guess. -
Keep us posted on what you end up doing

Msc. (thesis based) Courses GPA
ballsortahard replied to jphogenbach267's topic in University of Alberta Medical School
Last year I believed it was weighted as a individual course, this is based on how little my GPA went down (the calculated one that appears on the secondary application in the fall after you submit) having 2 A- at the time for my MSc.
