RaptorsFan123 Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 Count me in, I had difficulties during my test and even EMAILED them during it... It was more stressful and distracting than it had to be. I think that Queen's should follow the other schools that give automatic interviews if you dont get in this cycle. medicallyricalmiracle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeoaeoaeo Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 I also had tremendous issues with the assessment and emailed them about it yesterday (respectfully of course). I say go for it! medicallyricalmiracle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same, I've been debating about whether it is even worth it or not to contact them. Has anyone gotten a response from the university about this issue? medicallyricalmiracle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UWCC Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 Am I reading the latest email correctly...?! not everyone who completed the online Kira interview will receive the chance to have a panel interview. Only the highest ranking MMI+ file review scorers are going to have the chance, plus those who are called from a “waitlist”.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a feeling they were going to do this when they said they'd split the MMI and panel, logistically it would be hard to get the panel interviewers and applicants together at a new time on short notice. At least we'll have a better idea of where we are at in terms of chances before May? UWCC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I understood, it seems like even in "normal times" they use MMI + file review to rank people and then check your panel as a formality (ie. probably just make sure you didn't say anything crazy). At least thats how I read the first half of the second paragraph. so this is essentially the same process as they usually do, they're just cutting out panels for people who they were never going to consider in the first place. Still sucks for sure but at least we will know where we stand earlier grasswedge and HighAltitudeMedicine 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighAltitudeMedicine Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 This feels like going back to square 1 and waiting for an interview invite all over again. I don't see how this can be an equitable evaluation given that all other interview dates had the opportunity to do both the MMI and the panel. Some people may perform better in a panel than an MMI which gives the previous dates an advantage. TheFlyGuy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apoptoticbleb Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 In case anyone is wondering about timelines, admissions just replied to me that they don't know yet when the notifications of first phase panel interviews will be sent out (of course) but that they will let us all know as soon as they figure it out. Best of luck to everyone! medicallyricalmiracle, vvmm, TheFlyGuy and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms1998 Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 Does anyone know what they mean by “file review”? Is that just based on ABS and reference letters, or is it going to be everything (Including GPA and MCAT)? Because normally when they determine the final offers it’s just based on interview, ABS, reference letters, so that’s really unfair if now they go back and take into account our GPA and MCAT :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard that the panel has at least some weight in interview scoring. In my opinion, it doesn't make sense to go to that length just to check for red flags. Just my thoughts though. hijkl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing is certain but my opinion is that they wouldn't drastically change the process and it's more likely this is how it was done all along. Even if they did weigh the panel in previous years, I'm sure would they would make the panel pass/fail for the in-person group of interviews this year as well in order to preserve equity between the two groups. 88rising 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
