MD Brace Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 Hi guys and gals! This is Matt, your 'Ask A Med Student' rep here at dal. I was in the admissions office today and asked when the emails are going out. Here's the scoop, the final selections were made today, the emails should be out late tomorrow evening or thursday at the latest. I feel for you guys, I went through the exact same thing last year and I ended up being the last person to get in off the OOP wait-list this year at the end of August. I know that waiting is excruciating but try not to stress out too much. Good luck to everyone! Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MD Brace Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 that should read 'late tomorrow afternoon', sorry for the typo Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hisname Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Thanks for the info Matt. I remember reading your posts in late August last year after you were informed (while traveling in Thailand, if I recall correctly) that Dal had one last OOP waitlist spot for you. I remember this particularly well because you were number 16 on the OOP list…and I was # 17! (laughs). And so it was I had the dubious honour of being the next person on the list when admissions were officially closed. Anyway, I'm dusted off and ready for battle once again…wish me better luck this year!! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MD Brace Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 That's right Mike, that was me, in Thailand for a total of 24 hours exactly when I got the call to come home because I got into to Dal off the waitlist. Anyway, best of luck this year, you're doing the right thing by re-applying, it took me 4 years of waitlists before I got here. Hopefully you don't have to go through that agony though! Best advice I can give, even though it sounds corny, is just be yourself. The years before, when I didn't get in, I went to interviews with the idea that I had to act like 'a med student' and be convincing that I was super-smart and super-motivated and the all around perfect candidate. Truth is they just want to meet you, just be yourself, be prepared to answer questions about yourself truthfully and don't worry that 'the real you' is not what they are looking for. I am amazed at all the different personalities and types of people in our class, it truly is a huge mix. There are some people who, when I first met them, didn't strike me as 'med student' types, but they are, because med students and doctors are just regular people. I'm not suggesting that you weren't yourself at the interviews, but if you, or anyone else reading this, fell into that same trap as me in previous years, please, just come as yourself. There's nothing better that you can do! Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curious P Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Still no word, eh? Last year I believe they sent out the acceptances before the rejections. Seeing as the work day is almost over, I'm getting anxious about the lack of any emails in my inbox! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

md3 Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Their admissions site has been updated with information that starts as "...attention interviewees..." and with some file update information-that has got me thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curious P Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Who thinks the emails will come out today? I think this one is going to go right down to the wire - Friday at 4pm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mdhopefully Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 maybe all the oops are extremly competitive and there having problems cutting people? they should just interview us all eh!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MD Brace Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 I don't want to discourage anyone, but in terms of # of OOP applicants, they had over 400 this year. As of tuesday, the admissions office had the list of selected interviewees finalized so I am not sure what is taking them so long. If you guys don't here by 10am tomorrow I'll go in to the office and find out for you. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
