frenchfrog Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 It's hearsay in the College that the number of admissions for the Aug 2007 incoming class will be increased to 72 spots (hopes of eventually reaching 90 seats). This is good news for any anxious premed applicant out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zuckman Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 Hey FrenchFrog, Do you by any chance no if this change increases number of OOP spots? Zuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frenchfrog Posted January 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 Hey Zuckman, I'm sorry, I don't know. I'll ask around for you, but we may just have to wait till the information is posted on the UofS Medicine webpage to know for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snplow Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 I've heard about that rumour too, but I'm not going to get my hopes up too high yet until its official from the College of Medicine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UofS2010 Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 Hi guys, i have also heard from a pretty reliable source that the enrolment numbers of 72 this application cycle has been pretty much confirmed. Hopefully it will be made official in the website soon. In addition there are talks about possibly expanding the medical program into a sister campus also, ie The University of Regina, so there is definitely some exciting news to look forward to!

frenchfrog Posted January 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Hey FrenchFrog,Do you by any chance no if this change increases number of OOP spots? Zuck I asked for you, and according to the SMSS President, who discussed this news with the Dean, the new number of OOP spots isn't confirmed, but will most likely remain at 10% of the total class number. So, I guess that means there will now be 7 OOP spots, or 7.2, but I don't know what 0.2 of a spot would look like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frenchfrog Posted January 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 News from the SMSS: "The increase in students for next year isn't official yet. Pending $." Here's to hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momo Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 Just wondering if there is any movement in terms of the increase in medical school seats? I know this doesn't affect me too much as an OOP but I am curious? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UofS2010 Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 hi momo, this week is reading break for us so things will be going slower, but i will ask around for you next week when we're back in school! PS how was vegas!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momo Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 Hi!! Thanks! I am STILL IN vegas LOL... leaving tomorrow afternoon, sigh. A balmy 25C today, blue skies, beautiful. I actually don't gamble LOL but I kind of like the craziness and lights and 24-hour availability of chocolate covered strawberries and some of the most interesting people I've ever met...LOL mind you, I can stand about 3 days of it max but it's nice to get away. So you guys actually get time off? LOL... I love this school:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UofS2010 Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 hehe u must be talking about that hotel that starts with a B and has a world famous water fountain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momo Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 I forgot to ask... I know that there doesn't seem to be an official tour, but I am wondering if there will be any opportunity at all for a quick tour of the facilites, or the campus, or anything interesting that would make or break my decision to go to UofS. Are any interested med students allowed to maybe give us a bit of an impromptu tour at all? I am flying in Fri night (late) and staying till Sunday late (cheaper flights) so I woudl have time after my interview to see stuff...I am coming to the reception of course, and looking forward to it immensely.

momo Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 LOL...well the "B" does have the best poker room in the city LOL...but I wouldn't know anything about that:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UofS2010 Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 Hey momo, I believe there is a tour (optional) that you can sign up for where med students show you around...I think the details will be in the snail mail package. Also there is gonna be billeting service for those of you who need a place to stay for the night at one of the med students place.

Cloudcube Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 Am I correct in assuming that interviews are held in one sitting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frenchfrog Posted February 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 I'm not sure what you mean by one sitting... It's MMI, so there are many stations, but you, as an interviewee, only have to go through the stations once. The interviews are held over one weekend, two days (March 24 and 25). Can you clarify what you are asking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloudcube Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 just wanted to doublecheck that interview is held on one of the days and not on both. i'm pretty sure that's the case, but wanted to make sure. thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frenchfrog Posted February 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 Oh, I see. I'm sorry. Yes, you're right, you will only be interviewed either on March 24 or March 25, not both days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
