Guest Ian Wong Posted February 26, 2001 Report Share Posted February 26, 2001 Hi everyone, As with the last message board, I'm attempting to summarise information from each medical school on it's own thread. If you have any new information for this school, please post it here so we all can benefit. As this information is taken from previous threads, don't take everything you hear as gospel. U of Western Ontario: Invitations for interviews will be given at the end of February. Approximately 350 people met the interview cut-offs (I assume the GPA and MCAT cut-offs), and all will be interviewed. These cut-offs can be accessed somewhere on the UWO web-site. At least some rejection letters have already been sent. Ian Can, MS2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bo Posted March 2, 2001 Report Share Posted March 2, 2001 so, does anyone know if Western is actually interviewing everyone who made the cutoffs?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Random Posted March 2, 2001 Report Share Posted March 2, 2001 If you make the academic cutoffs: 3.60 2-year average (best full year & last year) 8 across the board on the MCAT, P on writing VR+WS = 21 PS+BS = 18 You will receive an interview. Western is very formulaic - no essay, no sketch, nothing. Just numbers. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jeniah Posted March 5, 2001 Report Share Posted March 5, 2001 i just looked at the link to the meds 2004 webpage for the western interview weekend. on the first page there was a note that said letters were going to be mailed by monday feb 26/01. that was a week ago.... has anyone heard anything? j Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Random Posted March 5, 2001 Report Share Posted March 5, 2001 I called UWO as well and they said they sent out interveiw invitations last Monday (Feb 26) but it doesn't look like anyone I know has received anything yet. I guess we'll all have to wait and see what happens. I did notice, on one of the links to UWO, that the dates for the interviews have been set. Best of luck to all.

Guest bo Posted March 6, 2001 Report Share Posted March 6, 2001 Just to let everyone know that I got my UWO letter (in Kitchener, Ontario -- one hour east of London) only yesterday. So it may take a day or two more to get to other parts of the country. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jeniah Posted March 6, 2001 Report Share Posted March 6, 2001 yes, i received my letter yesterday at my parents house which is in the kitchener area. enough stressing! j Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Random Posted March 6, 2001 Report Share Posted March 6, 2001 Just wondering if UWO mentioned how many people they will be interviewing for the 103 spots available. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kate Posted March 6, 2001 Report Share Posted March 6, 2001 I heard that only 350 people met the UWO cutoffs...I believe that they are interviewing all 350 of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jeniah Posted March 9, 2001 Report Share Posted March 9, 2001 i just called this morning to confirm my interview and the woman was VERY helpful. she asked if my time was OK and then said i could switch it if i wanted so now i'm going a day earlier. for no reason other than i want to go out saturday night and drink. a lot. so if you have a conflict with the western weekend, a switch should be no problem! j Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Random Posted March 12, 2001 Report Share Posted March 12, 2001 Anyone out there interviewing on Mar 31/Apr 1 weekend. If so, I'd love to share thoughts - I hear this interview is like no other. Best of luck to all UWO interviewees this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Random Posted April 11, 2001 Report Share Posted April 11, 2001 Anyone out there know if Western selects its candidates in two separate batches i.e. 1st interview weekend people and then 2nd, or do they put them all together in the end and rank them? It's an unnecessary question but there's just so much waiting time. Can't help but wonder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WESTERNMEDS2005 Posted December 19, 2001 Report Share Posted December 19, 2001 Not 100% positive, but I'm pretty sure they group all interviewees together before ranking them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
