Guest tina Posted March 13, 2002 Report Share Posted March 13, 2002 I am really not sure... but I was wondering if you knew how many OOP students are accepted by U of A? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest yingw Posted March 13, 2002 Report Share Posted March 13, 2002 U of A accepts 15 OOPs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PeterC007 Posted March 15, 2002 Report Share Posted March 15, 2002 Yes, there will be more oop invites. This year the interview process was modified so that 2nd,3rd,4th+ applicants in-prov and oop are interviewed together. With that amount of people, some were interviewed in Feb, some will be in May, and even a few in June/July Pete U of A med 2005 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 311 Posted March 15, 2002 Report Share Posted March 15, 2002 Thanks! I was getting worried. I'm OOP and hope to go to Alberta. Thanks for your useful update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest deep Posted March 19, 2002 Report Share Posted March 19, 2002 A friend of mine who has completed his degree, OOP as well, has received a rejection letter already. Does this mean that those who have not received any notification may in fact have an interview in the next set in May? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Marker Posted March 19, 2002 Report Share Posted March 19, 2002 Hi, I just wonder when your friend received rejected letter? I am an OOP and I havent received anything yet. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BC Posted March 19, 2002 Report Share Posted March 19, 2002 I am an OOP and had my interview during Feb. I am an undergraduate. The people at UA are the friendliest ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bc guy Posted March 19, 2002 Report Share Posted March 19, 2002 Ian: what made you pick UBC over UA? Any regrets? Would graduating from certain medical schools make you a better candidate for getting 1st choice with CaRM. My heart says UA cause I heard that people there are so friendly and so sharing. Did not hear the same for UBC med students but much much better weather here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MDCY Posted March 19, 2002 Report Share Posted March 19, 2002 Sorry Ian, I don't want to steal your thunder but from what I've gleaned and what my friends who are in med school at the UofC told me, it doesn't really matter where you got your MD degree from and it has no bearings on getting your first choice with CaRM. For example, I don't think the University of Calgary med school is as prestigious as the UofT or Mac but this year at the UofC, 70 out of 71 people got their first choice with CaRM. Now back to Ian... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PeterC007 Posted March 19, 2002 Report Share Posted March 19, 2002 I'm not sure about the rejection situation but I guess your friend didn't meet the requirements for OOP. If you haven't received anything yet then don't worry. They are still going through applications and offering interviews. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bc guy Posted March 19, 2002 Report Share Posted March 19, 2002 Further, did those people who had first choices get them at Calgary.......I guess what I am trying to say is does the province where you do your medical education give preference to their own students when it is time for CaRM? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest deep Posted March 26, 2002 Report Share Posted March 26, 2002 Does anyone know what dates the May interviews will be held on? Also, as an OOP applicant, how much notice will they give me? I'm planning to spend some time with family so i'm wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MDCY Posted March 27, 2002 Report Share Posted March 27, 2002 bc guy: The answer to your question would be not necessarily because they got in all over the country. The first choice of CaRMs does not depend on your province in which you got your degree. You might have made more contacts and references within the province you have studied but this doesn't guarantee you anything. Oh btw, I learned when I went for my interview at UC that the one person who didn't get into their first choice was because they chose a very competitive field-radiology. I heard that the two most competitve fields are radiology and Emergency. Anyway, I hope this helps. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Out Of Province Posted April 15, 2002 Report Share Posted April 15, 2002 I am an OOP applicant and i have a 36Q (10-13-13) and a gpa of 3.95 on the ontario 4 scale. Anyone want to tell me my chances? JungleTom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest yingw Posted April 16, 2002 Report Share Posted April 16, 2002 Hey JungleTom, I'd say pretty good. I had an interview at U of A in Feb. My stats are 10-13-14-Q, with a GPA of 3.99 on the Ontario scale. Let me know if you get that interview invite! Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jungle Tom Posted April 20, 2002 Report Share Posted April 20, 2002 I just received an interview to U of A for end of May. I need some help.... 1. What should I do to prepare as an out-of-province student 2. HOW MANY OOP INTERVIEWS/SPOTS are there? 3. How was the interview? 4. How was the interview, with respect to any of the Ontario one's? ANYTHING ELSE WOULD BE GREAT You all ROCK Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest OOP too Posted April 20, 2002 Report Share Posted April 20, 2002 Congrats DUDE! May I ask where do you live (that you received your mail)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest yingw Posted April 20, 2002 Report Share Posted April 20, 2002 My subject heading says it all. Congrats - I had a feeling that you would get one. My responses to your queries are below: 1. I guess you're thinking that, as an OOP, they will ask you different questions. My interviewers didn't ask me anything about my province, or anything about Alberta. 2. 15 OOP spots. How many interviewed? Not sure. I believe that there is a post from last year saying that they interviewed 85 OOPs. 3 + 4. The interview was really relaxed. I remember my community member nodding encouragingly at me - that helped boost my confidence. I found it to be similar to the Ontario ones, in that it was conversational. My interviews were all based on my CV; the only thing was that each interview panel decided to focus on a different aspect. So, my advice would be to know your CV really well. Best of luck!

Guest Fun Dip Posted April 22, 2002 Report Share Posted April 22, 2002 I'm an OOP applicant but haven't received anything from U of A. Does anyone know what the process is? Are they waiting for my final transcript before they make a decision on my application? Are they keeping my application open until July in case people decide to go elsewhere? If so, why wouldn't they just choose from the people they have already interviewed to fill those spots? To sum up, anyone mind telling me what's going on?????

Guest PeterC007 Posted April 24, 2002 Report Share Posted April 24, 2002 There are 15 spots and they interviewed about 115 of us last year. Know the Masencowski (spelled wrong...sorry) report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
