2020 Interview/Invite Thread

[fluffybunnyyyyy 31]

For those who got an interview, what will the online MMI look like? Could someone share some details, i'm genuinely very curious! 

[Whatitdobaby 1]

OOP reject 1:04 PM EST

GPA: 4.0 

MCAT: 515

Maritime connection: related it to my work experience in the province

Tbh im really suspicious. Nothing on my app was verified. I hope applicants aren't getting rejected bc of admin errors - especially due to covid and the high influx of apps for this cycle

Just received an interview invite. 
IP.

507.

3.9

Good luck everyone

Also interesting to note that they said there was a "significant" increase in the number of applications received this cycle. This is I think what most people predicted, and I think all OOP applications for Med schools this year will be more competitive this year, probably because interviews are online and the hassle of booking a flight/hotel is no longer a deterrent.

I would consider emailing them because I am pretty sure that IP interviews are guaranteed as long as you met the GPA/MCAT/Casper cutoffs. I believe people who did not meet the Casper cutoffs received an email earlier in September.

Felt very confident with respect to the caspr, thought i did fantastic, never received an email. Scored over 125 in each mcat section. Full courseload and lowest grade was A- in both senior years.

just got my rejection, 4.0 and 521 

half of my family is from Halifax. dal was my top choice

Wow that's a hell of a Maritimes connection.

Seeing as a 250 word essay is basically the only factor that determines if you get an interview if OOP,  I can't believe that this isn't enough (and ditto to some of the others I've seen on this page).

I had to submit information on where I lived but no hard requirements such as an ID.

Interview is a 35-40 minute virtual asynchronous MMI. Similar to in-person interviews, you have a few minutes to read the question and then up to five minutes to give your answer. Your recordings are then saved for interviewers to review.
