EmilyStowe Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 Invite/Rejection: RTime Stamp: 12:42pmLocation: IPStream: EnglishcGPA: 3.89Current year: Completed BSc in 2020, currently workingECs: Diverse ECs including varsity sport, another sport at the international level, working with the disabled, working with underprivileged children, physician shadowing, 2 lab volunteer positions, some advocacy, and employment. Casper and Snapshot: My CASPer this year felt worse than previous year tbh... misread one of the prompts and realized too late without enough time to fix my responses. My mom also thought my CASPer was over and walked into the dining room and I got super distracted which messed up another one of my responses on a different question. I did snapshot in August for Dalhousie, didn't prep much for it and honestly the questions were a bit strange. Hoping it didn't hurt me... I would have prepped more for it if I had known an Ontario school would be looking at it. Was kind of expecting the R from Ottawa, I have multiple friends currently in MD programs and nobody I have ever met has received an interview with uO.... I have no idea what the heck they are looking for. Maybe my GPA is too low for uO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rosa_gabrielle Posted February 3, 2021 Report Share Posted February 3, 2021 Just got the follow up email about interview dates and times, they're mid week and mid-day, first time applicant here so I have no idea if this is normal or not but it was surprising to me!

Voldy Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 It's weird that they are doing it in the middle of the week during school, I have midterms and stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes very weird. I work (I have finished all my university studies) and will have to call in sick the morning of my interview as it's mid-week. The dates also appear to be very rigid and not very flexible to accommodate people's schedules (not to mention if their interview date conflicts with another school's date). On another note, do any of the Ottawa med students know why there is such variability in interview dates? Everyone I know who received an interview invite got their date sent to them today, and some of them are at the very beginning (like me), and at the end. Is there any logic behind this, or do they just randomly pick names out of a hat, to determine who unluckily gets their interview at the start? (or is this just a big secret) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL Yes people do I know someone (who was accepted!!) that made it off the interview waitlist last year. One thing to keep in mind is that the last cycle wasn't affected by COVID and so interviews were in-person.

It’s normal. I’ve had three Ottawa interviews (a few years ago) and 2 of them were during the week (Wednesday and Friday, one around 10am and the other around 2pm, if I remember correctly). The other one was a Saturday. rosa_gabrielle and DrOtter 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they're sending that info out in a follow up email... them saying, "When your confirmation is received, we will send you an information package with more details about your virtual interview day" makes it seem like it might be different than the typical panel interviews/they're still trying to figure it out, other wise they could just send it all out now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
