Interview Invites are out!

[Guest melNB]

Just got my interview invite via email

[Guest Kooman]

Congrats melNM .... Are you OOP applicant? If so, would you mind telling us your academic average? Thanks!

[Guest melNB]

I believe Sask takes your best two years. Mine were probably close to 90 % or higher in my best two. Good luck everyone.

[Guest smurfette99]

Congrats Mel!!!! That's exciting!!

 

Does anyone happen to know if Sask is giving out all the emails today??

I've been refreshing my email every 2 min :\

Hopefully I get one soon!!!

[Guest Isoceles]

Hmmm..nothing for me yet... I'm OOP.

My 2 year's only 88%, but I'm hoping that'll be enough...:\

I have family in Saskatoon, so I'd really like a shot there!!

[Guest geekpunk]

Nothing here yet either

 

My 2-year average is 92.2%, I hope I hear from them.

 

I hope a requirement or course equivalency doesn't screw me over like it did at UofM :\

[Guest melNB]

Are they still only interviewing under 30 this year? I think last year was 28?

[Guest geekpunk]

Arrgh... I've got a bad feeling about this.

 

I just spoke with another person who got an OOP email invite to UofS and her 2 best year percentage is lower than mine.

 

I'm thinking course equivalency might have screwed me over again. :\

 

Unless... they're not done sending out OOP email invites?! But if there's only ~30, it's not like it would take a long time to send out ~30 emails.

 

Sigh.

[Guest smurfette99]

oh this sucks :|

[Guest EGral]

A friend of mine got the invite today...he has a 4.0GPA and is OOP...what is the cutoff for acceptance (0.76*GPA(in percentage)+Interview Score(out of 24)=)

[Guest geekpunk]

Hmm... I'm tempted to call Heather today and ask whether all OOP invites have been sent.

[Guest smurfette99]

I just called and she said they are actually being mailed out tommorrow???

 

I'm confused...

[Guest geekpunk]

Hmmm... I think she meant the actual letters via snail mail. But in previous years, OOPs invited for an interview are supposed to receive an email as well before receiving a letter in the mail.

 

------------------------------------------------------

 

Actually, just spoke with Heather. I missed the OOP cutoff by 0.15% !!!!

 

Cutoff this year is 90.45%.

 

My 2 best years are 90.30%.

 

Guess I was using the wrong conversion table that's been posted around here all along.

 

Really disappointing.

[Guest EGral]

Wow...only 1 person on this Saskatchewan forum actually received an interview...anybody else...

[Guest Air Mufasa]

I got mine by email yesterday at 1:59pm. I'm out of province in Ontario and my 2 year average was 90.6%. I was relieved since I'm getting rejected in my own province.

 

Geekpunk, sorry to hear about your close call. Believe me, I've felt the wrath of cutoffs many times (this year and last year). I understand how frustrating it can be. Important thing is to keep on grinding. Keep the fire alive!

[Guest smurfette99]

Blah. I guess I'm rejected here, too

[Guest EGral]

Anybody else get an interview...

[Guest PistonsMD]

I received an interview...

 

4.0 GPA

OOP

 

Do any of my fellow interviewees want to talk about the interview for Saskatchewan? I'll start a thread about this...

[Guest frenchfrog]

Have any in-province applicants received an invitation yet? Or, have they not been sent out?

[Guest grilledcheesetime]

I have yet to receive mine. The general letters concerning interviews will be mailed out by Feb. 15th.

[Guest Kenola]

I'm in province and just received my interview invite today!

[Guest hatewaiting]

I'm in-province living in Cgy and got my invite on Monday. I must say I'm impressed that the College is holding a reception night March 18th. This is new, eh? It'll sure be nice to relax and chat with some current med students, especially on the stressful weekend.

Anybody know how many are being interviewed this weekend? Both for in and oop's?

Good luck to all who received invites!

hatewaiting.

[Guest sab10]

IP applicant... Got my interview invite today... It was lost in the mail- What a relief to actually get it:)

[Guest bioboy2007]

geekpunk (or anyone else):

 

I was wondering how the grade conversion between GPA and percentage works for UofS. Could you give me a general idea?

 

Thanks,

 

BB

[Guest sab10]

BB:

I don't know if this is what you need, but this is the alphanumeric conversion I was given:

A = 93%

A- = 84%

B+ = 78%

B = 75%

B- = 72%

C+ = 68%

C = 65%

C- = 62%

Hope it helps!
