[2020-2021 Interview/Regrets]

Did anyone else not receive an invite or a rejection? My launchpad status still says that it is under review, odd. Anyways, congrats to everyone that got an invite!

I got an invite but my Launchpad still says "under review" - I don't think they have updated status there. The invite came to my ualberta.ca email, not through Launchpad.

the Application ID is different from the student ID, you can find it in the payment reciept email! I couldn't submit the form when I put the student ID under application ID so just for anyone else who is confused LOL 

Thank you!

[2020-2021 Interview/Regrets]

The interview response form asks for our "Application ID". In launchpad I have a "student ID" and a "reference number". Anyone know which one we're supposed to use?

I think next week is going to be a big week - seems like we'll be hearing from Sask, Alberta and Calgary!

First time applicant here , out of province, are all the invites and rejects out yet? I haven't received anything from Queens and we get this through email right ? 

Hi, I am under the impression that they sent out all invites and regrets on Tuesday. I think you should email the admissions office (after you check the junk/spam/promotions folders in your inbox)

Has anyone who had an interview last year tried checking solus? Shot in the dark idk

I am a former Queen's student so I have Solus access and can see the status of my application. It just says "pending". This has been the case for several weeks so I don't think there have been any meaningful updates through Solus so far. Screenshot attached.

[Lack of applicants over 37, or does McMaster tend to skew younger?]

Hey, fellow older non-trad here (35). I got an interview this cycle - hopefully you find that somewhat encouraging. In the end, as the poster above pointed out, this school is all about stats and interview performance, so there is little explicit reason why an older applicant would be disadvantaged. (There could be implicit reasons...for example, some older applicants may not have decided on the med school route until years after completing undergrad, and did not focus as much on obtaining a high GPA).

[Confused about GPA Calculation?]

I emailed them in November and they let me know that the cGPA displayed in Launchpad is the one with the worst year already deleted (if applicable).

Does anyone know if Dalhousie will contact you if a verifier cannot be contacted? I remember there were a few instances of that occurring previously and wanted to see if there was a known stance on that policy.

I emailed them to ask this question in December and they said that yes, if your verifier fails to respond, Dalhousie will reach out to you.

[Verifiers contacted]

I had at least one of my verifiers contacted so far (this morning). I am OOP and my last name starts with one of the first few letters of the alphabet.
