Queen's Medicine Invite/Regrets 2021-2022

[MacMedHopeful110]

Hey everyone! With the interview date being earlier this year (Feb 12th rather than Feb 27th), I believe invites will come out earlier this year.

 

There is the format:

Where did you find the interview date for this year?

edit: never mind, I found it under the “How to Apply” section of their website

(Invites are not out yet, to save you the heart attack)

Heads up - the interview weekend website (https://elentra.healthsci.queensu.ca/community/mdinterviews ) has been updated for 2022 so I think we can expect invites/regrets to be out soon?

Just wanted to add that this website is student-run and not connected with the admissions office, so take any updates with a grain of salt. Hang in there though—the wait is so rough!

Gotcha, thanks for the info!! And I know, I am basically jumping at every e-mail notification I get at this point.

Any ideas of when the invites will come out for Queens? Past observations? Just really anxious

Last year interviews came out 25 days before the interview day. Extrapolating to this year puts interview release at this coming Tuesday, January 18.

Things change year to year, of course, but usually they give at least 3 weeks notice so I expect them next week or so. Take what I said with some salt, I’m just an applicant like you.

MMIs also seem to be much earlier this year than year's past so this coming week does seem likely since I'm sure they'd wanna give enough time for people to confirm their attendance, sign any forms, etc.

Took over a full course load my last two years. I know Western only considers 5 per semester for GPA calculation but maybe Queens uses all of my grades? Not sure, perhaps someone can confirm. If in fact Queens uses all my courses from my last two years than my wGPA would only be 3.63 which could have gotten me screened out. Oh well, here's to hoping for Dal and potentially an interview at Western! Congrats to those that got an interview.

Congratulations to everyone who got an interview and best of luck! 

To those that didn't, you're amazing and this is not a determinant of your worth. We're all on our own journeys and this a small blip on the wonderful life adventure you have ahead of you!!!
