I received basically the same email (asking for more details) but for NB. Did they specifically confirm/write in the email that you were in the IP NS stream? For me it was "thank you for clarification regarding your residency status". What specifically did they ask you to provide? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BonJovi Posted November 3, 2021 Report Share Posted November 3, 2021 For those who got an invite, how many questions will there be and what is the time allotted for each question? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PEIhopeful97 Posted November 3, 2021 Report Share Posted November 3, 2021 "The virtual interview process is relatively straight forward. The asynchronous format meansthat you will have about 45-60 minutes to provide video-recorded responses to a sequentialseries of recorded questions. After reading your first question, you will have 2 minutes toreflect, and then you will have up to 7 minutes to provide your video-recorded response.This allows us to capture your candid responses. You will continue this process until youhave provided responses to all five questions." Directly from the e-mail! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mayerofcanada Posted November 3, 2021 Report Share Posted November 3, 2021 I'm confused with all the OOP rejections. Is it usually this bad? Were there more IP students applying this year due to COVID (less moving around, etc.)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They get around ~600 applicants for those 9 spots. It's always this bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep Persevering Posted November 3, 2021 Report Share Posted November 3, 2021 Dear Dalhousie OOP applicants! As an OOP from Ontario, I got my rejection today. Yes, I did not have a maritime connection but I did not force a connection either. I spoke about what appeals to me about Dalhousie Med school and tied in my personal experiences: Working with diverse populations, cultural competency, early clinical exposure, rural experience etc. Got my MC essay checked by 5 people, 4 of whom went to Dalhousie. Clearly, they were looking for something else. In my opinion, It is the MC essay that dinged most of us. My stats: cGPA: 3.97, Dalhousie GPA: 4.0, MCAT: 515, (130, 128, 131, 126). Casper: 3rd quartile. (I know OOP candidates with better stats than me have been rejected as well). For those who will get interview invites tomorrow, can you kindly provide any input for the " successful" MC essay? This will be very valuable for those of us trying to find answers and may be apply next year. I will be truly grateful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will be very valuable for those of us trying to find answers and may be apply next year. I will be truly grateful. As someone with similar stats who was rejected as an OOP as well. I wrote about the same things as you in my MC essay. The thing is, if you have a Maritimes connection you're able to uniquely use your own personal experience to write the essay. Ultimately as OOP applicants who did not grow up and live in the MTs we do not have that unique experience. I know there are people who were rejected with that unique connection, but I think that just speaks to the connectivity of their essay. EDIT: NOT TO MENTION THIS PROCESS IS ABOUT 70-80% LUCK. DO NOT THINK TOO MUCH ABOUT IT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keep Persevering Posted November 4, 2021 Report Share Posted November 4, 2021 Correct. Thanks for the support! It hurts to get rejected after paying 100% attention to every step of the application. 6 essays! It is hard to have an MC connection when there is no connection. However, last year OOP with no connections who wrote honest, genuine essays got invites. May be the application pool is too big this year and much more competitive? Did you apply to UBC? I have no hopes from UBC after this rejection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BonJovi Posted November 4, 2021 Report Share Posted November 4, 2021 What is even going on with OOP invites? I still haven't heard back and no one has posted about receiving an invite as OOP. Only invites for IP and rejections for OOP have been out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
