Interviews?

[Guest BCgirl]

Does anyone know when interviews will be held for Queen's?

 

Thanks

[Guest DHP62]

And when invites come out?

 

Thanks!

[Guest exhumedcorpse33]

The interview dates for Queen's this year are March 1,2,22,23 and I heard that the invites come around the 2nd or 3rd week of February.

[Guest QM6]

Hey all,

 

Just to confirm the above, and to let you know info for interviews will be up at meds.queensu.ca/~meds2006/applying.html as it becomes available.

 

See you in March!

[Guest cgb2006]

Hey everyone:

 

Just to let you know, rumor here at Queen's has it that interview invites will be sent out this week. Good luck to everyone.

 

[Guest QM6]

That's right, they should be going out tomorrow - hopefully all the snow here in Kingston area won't slow the mail down...

[Guest Beth]

hey QM6.....any news that the interview invitations when out today? Thanks for all the information you have posted!!

[Guest Da Birdie]

YupYup

 

according to my classmates the invites are sent out today

 

it should take 2 (3) business days to get to places within Ontario, so expect some mails by Friday or early next week! : )

 

I think the pkg should include a billeting list, a congrats letter, and stuff regarding the interview weekend itself~

 

good luck guys! :hat

Queen's Meds2006

[Guest QM6]

Hey all,

 

As far as I know, you should be getting an official "You got an interview!" letter from the Admissions Office, a similar one from the 2006 class council (available at the 2006 class website) directions on how to get here, and contact info for the interview and billeting coordinators.

 

Basically the idea is this - once you get the official notification, there'll be a _lot_ of updates and more info (ie schedule of events, detailed map, locations of presentations, interviews and social events, etc) at meds.queensu.ca/~meds2006/applying.html , so be sure to check back regularly.

 

Sit tight, relax and see you soon!

[Guest Nightrider]

ok...so if anyone (especially someone at Queen's) could help me with this problem I would be REALLY REALLY grateful...

 

Here's my story: I have met all the Queen's interview cut-offs (I have 3.87 GPA, 12/12/14/N MCAT). The problem is that my MCAT writing sample was originally reported as an M and then raised to an N later. I found out that the MCAT people did not let OMSAS know this until this week...and U of T let me know that they only received the amendment TODAY. Which means that Queen's probably didn't know this when they were doing interview invites. My question is will I get an invite once they know about the revised MCAT score? and if I get a rejection based on my original score can I fight it based on the fact that I met all the cut-offs?

[Guest QM6]

Hey Nightrider,

 

You're asking in the wrong place... get on the phone straight away and tell the Admissions Office about it!

 

Hope everything works out, good luck!

[Guest Nightrider]

Thanks QM6!

 

I had e-mailed the Admissions office yesterday and they replied today and said that my application would be moved forward for interview...so all is well.

[Guest Raid123]

Hey, Just got my queens invite for March 1st.

 

My second time applying (interviewing) Hopefully it works out this time.

 

Will I be seeing anyone else from here on the first?

[Guest Beth]

Congratulations raid123!!!! Do you have any interview advice after your experience last year? Good luck!

[Guest Raid123]

Hey,

 

My first time applying was actually 2 yrs ago. Coming out of the interview, i knew i had made a couple of mistakes in terms of answering questions not as eloquently as I should have. At one point I was asked whether I would send my child (if i had one) to a private school or a public school (we were discussing jumping queues and private healthcare when this question was thrown at me) and I kind of sat on the fence.

 

My advice is that this one is less stressful than the one at the other schools (my personal opinion). But you have to shine in some way. Make them feel that you really really want to become a doctor. Sound excited, as you should be, at being granted the interview and about medicine in general.

 

They need to separate you somehow from the rest of the crowd considering that they inteview so many: 450+ for only 100 spots.

 

By the way, does any one know how long the waitlist is for this school and how many usually get in?

[Guest Beth]

Hey Raid123,

Thanks for sharing your interview experience. I hope that everything goes well for you this year. Good luck!

[Guest devomcd]

I just got the interview invitation on Friday (Jan 31st) . They sent it to my home address rather than my current school address.

[Guest kellyl20]

Do any of the moderators here know how many offers were sent out last year to fill those 100 seats?

[Guest Namgalsip]

Hey, Congrats to all that have received interviews. I received the good news myself on Jan 31st . I will be joining all those intviewing on March 22. Hope to see you there!

[Guest DHP62]

Me too - March 22

 

I feel so much better with having ONE interview!

[Guest Nightrider]

Got my invite this afternoon...March 23! Good luck to everyone!

[Guest BCgirl]

I got my invite today... March 2nd.

 

Congrats and good luck to everyone!

[Guest bad hombre]

Is everyone getting their invites sent to their home address?:eek my home adress is in South America... may take a while to get my invite...>:

[Guest coldspell]

Well, I guess it's that time of year where paranoia rules...I live in Toronto and haven't recieved a queen's invite yet (made the cutoffs). Anyone else in the same boat, or have most people heard already? I miss my sanity...

[Guest hammer]

I'm in the same boat as you Coldspell, but I live in Kingston. I know someone who got theirs today and they have the same last initial as I do, so where's mine?!

I'll give it another day then I'll go ask them in person
