Alysse212 10 Posted December 10, 2020 Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 This is my first year applying to Dal Med and I am not sure what their process usually is. If our verifiers have been contacted, does that mean something (good or bad)? Do they contact everyone's verifiers after the interviews? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BonJovi 1 Posted December 11, 2020 Report Share Posted December 11, 2020 Did you have your verifiers contacted already? Considering they start verifying from early December to February, this is super early! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alysse212 10 Posted December 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2020 My friend did, that's why I am surprised. I saw other forums and most got their verifiers contacted in late Jan and early Feb Quote Link to post Share on other sites
marcoyolo 3 Posted December 11, 2020 Report Share Posted December 11, 2020 I can't speak to the process used for deciding which verifiers to contact but I do not believe the fact that verifiers having been contacted means anything one way or the other. From my own experience I had only one verifier (that I know of) contacted last year and was waitlisted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Is that how your friend found out they were contacted? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But I am not sure if you can see it on the application, I have not seen her application. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CanNonTrad 6 Posted December 14, 2020 Report Share Posted December 14, 2020 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
orlandoborn 1 Posted December 14, 2020 Report Share Posted December 14, 2020 I also have had a verifier contacted this morning! I'm IP. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kinmed1234 0 Posted December 15, 2020 Report Share Posted December 15, 2020 I had a verifier contacted but I already got rejected. Anyone know why they would contact my verifier anyway? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kinmed1234 0 Posted December 15, 2020 Report Share Posted December 15, 2020 I had a verifier contacted this morning but I was already rejected from Dalhousie before interviews. Anyone know why they would be contacting my verifier now? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Do you know the exact date your verifier was contacted, was it before October 29th? Are you IP? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

squeekz07 12 Posted December 15, 2020 Report Share Posted December 15, 2020 3rd time applicant here. I would really like to urge everybody to put zero emphasis on whether or not your verifiers are being contacted. I’ve been waitlisted twice, but have had friends be both accepted and rejected, and verifiers have been contacted in each instance. All this really tells us is that they are moving along with the process. Try and stay relaxed everyone, we’ve got another 3 months or so to go! dh. and Beech 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Studenter 0 Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 Did the verifiers get contacted via email, phone, or both? Just curious as to remind my verifiers to keep an eye out for these methods. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

McCoy 1 Posted December 28, 2020 Report Share Posted December 28, 2020 I understand that we shouldn't read too much into this, but some of my verifiers got contacted, while most of the others did not. I emailed admissions to see if there was something wrong on my end, but they said everything was in order... any thoughts? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I believe they generally do email, and perhaps a phone call if they don’t respond within the allotted deadline Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's just not feasible to go through each and every activity, and read the responses of each verifier for each applicant. It could be as high at 28 verifiers for some people (assuming you have a different verifier for each activity). Better to take a random sample, or to focus on activities that hold a lot of weight on the application. For example, a one off 30 hour activity might not be worth verifying, but an activity that totals 2500 hours might be more worthwhile verifying. Not sure if this is what they do, but I'm just speculating. My activities that were verified was an old job of mine, and a major volunteer activity. jmn753, mastermucocele and WinterWasp 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
