Ali-oop Posted January 8, 2020 Report Share Posted January 8, 2020 Has anyone heard when this year's interview invitations will be sent out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Upendy Posted January 9, 2020 Report Share Posted January 9, 2020 Hello Ali-oop, On the NOSM website it says that invitations for 2020 will go out from "mid-January to mid-February." When I asked the Recruitment Officer a few months back, I was told that, "Interview invites are usually sent out in January via email." When I checked previous invite dates on the other premed 101 forums, I saw that last year, they were sent out on Thursday January 10th. In 2018, they were sent out on Wednesday January 10th. In 2017, they were sent out on Monday January 23. So I'm thinking tomorrow at the earliest and mid-February at the latest. I get a feeling they'll be sent out this month though since that seems to be what they aim for. I feel as though they probably give themselves until mid-February as a buffer just in case there are delays, they have extra time. Hope that helps, and good luck!

I did exactly the same 'research' you did-could be as early as tomorrow starting around 9m EST it would seem... though in the previous years they seem to like to send them out mid week-ish. rather than on a Friday. Anyway, it seems no one has any inside info, so we will remain in suspense til the emails come out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Upendy Posted January 10, 2020 Report Share Posted January 10, 2020 No problem. Yeah, I don't have any inside info unfortunately, but I do feel like it will be next week. Probably mid-week like you said (Tues, Wed, Thurs). Suspense is right!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upendy Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 Hi Ali-oop, I did not get invited for an interview unfortunately. I'll be re-applying this July though. I hope your news was more prosperous than mine. At least I can stop biting my fingernails, they were starting to look pretty horrific Good luck to you both!
