Guest maximil35 Posted March 3, 2003 Report Share Posted March 3, 2003 Does Memorial give any preference to applicants who have relatives that attended Memorial? I am especially interested because my mother did her entire training there while my father completed his residency training there. I am also wondering about how often they accept out of province applicants. I am a dual citizen who is very interested in moving to Canada for personal reasons.

Guest surfette Posted March 4, 2003 Report Share Posted March 4, 2003 I hope not! I think they accept between 5 and 10 oop students. I think out of 60 seats, 40 are for Nfld, 8 for NB, 2 for PE, and the remaining 10 for international/oop students. Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm sure you can find the correct stats on another thread.

Guest clinicalchief Posted March 4, 2003 Report Share Posted March 4, 2003 As far as I know, Memorial does have a reputation for accepting people with "connections", but it is done under the table, nothing states that somebody with a parent affiliated with the school will be given priority. They used to ask about relatives on the application but in more recent years it has disappeared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MUNMED2006 Posted March 5, 2003 Report Share Posted March 5, 2003 I have never heard that one would get special treatment for knowing someone affiliated with MUN. In my class, out of 59 students, 10 are from NB, 2 from PEI and 4 from the US. The rest are from Newfoundland. This can vary a bit every year, but typically remains close to these figures.

Guest MayFlower1 Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 hey clinicalchief, How are things? Long time no hear. Did you get into med school last year? If so, where? Cheers, Peter (aka PeterHill0501) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest clinicalchief Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 Hey Peter, things are busy but the semester is winding down, so soon it will be over! I don't apply until next fall, and it will probably be just to Memorial. How are things with you? Did you apply last year? Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MayFlower1 Posted March 12, 2003 Report Share Posted March 12, 2003 Hey Mike, Yes, I applied last year...had an interview at UofO...obviously muffed my interview...was "bad waitlisted"...needless to say...I didn't get in. I regrouped...reapplied...whooo hooo...got another interview this year at UofO (only school to which I applied)...I'm much better prepared...did lots of thinking about why I didn't get in last year...am feeling well prepared (yet still not somehow :\ ) for my interview which is this friday at 8:30am ...it seems as if time is at a standstill :rolleyes ...and then after the darn interview... it's the dreaded 2.5 month wait.... :\ ...again... and that's assuming I get either a first round offer or flat out rejection... otherwise, like last year, I could be waiting throughout the summer again with that tiny eencciiee weencie glimmer of hope |I Anyway, we'll see what happens. I'm actually feeling pretty good about the interview and believe I know what I need to communicate this year... Cheers, and good luck to you in your application this fall... hopefully, I won't be joining you in that cycle! Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
