Probably in 3 weeks. I’m an OOP applicant and Dalhousie is my top choice. Definitely my chances are slim, but I’m still hopeful!

You do not receive your application score when they send out interview invites. The only time you see your score is if you end up being waitlisted or rejected when decision letters come out.

Thank you! I graduated this past year and my job is temporarily remote so I was like eh why not, I have the time to fill out all these applications and my references didn't mind either haha

Anyone know what day we're going to hear back? Will it be delayed this year?

[justamom 71]

I'm OOP , Dal tbh not my first choice ( unless you're part of the admissions team then please excuse that typo) I struggled with the why dal essay in terms of showing connections with the region - for the simple reason that I don't have any - but then neither do the OOP I know who got in . I've heard they are looking for people who have ties /connections to the area ..think that's true?

Usually on the 18th or 26th or sometime near then – if past cycle invites are any indication

From what I have seen in past cycles, there are people with times and those with zero ties who get an interview

I do agree, however, that having ties will make your application much, much stronger because past application cycles people have mentioned that the maritime connection essay plays the strongest role for interview invites – I would take this information with a grain of salt because you never know how things work internally

I hope this helps!

I kid you not, I'm creeping this thread a ridiculous time every day because I'm NOT ready to know my fate LOL. 

Do y'all think COVID will push things back or will invites still be sent near the end-ish of Oct?
