muchdutch Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 You have to call and make an appointment for file review with Marlene. Last year they wouldn't let anybody book for review until after the rejection letters were out - so after May 15. I think this is a bit ridiculous because, if you didn't get an interview, it's pretty obvious that you've been rejected, so why not allow students to see what area they were judged as 'lacking' as early as possible to allow for as much time for improvement as possible? But anyway, unless they changed their policy this year, that's how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redheadninja Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Hey guys, I think the reason they do it this way is because of past experiences they've had, where they ended up going through the entire waiting list, and ended up calling people who hadn't even had interviews, to be interviewed in May/June. SO, it's kind of a positive, if only a little one, they do this in case they need to call you up for a last minute interview, or at least thats my spin on the whole thing.

Togon Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Just wondering, did anyone get reply when sending confirmation email to Mila? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redheadninja Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Nope.... nothing. I suppose you can always phone and check, or if you're in Edmonton go into the office and make sure it got through, but as long as you saved a draft in the "sent mail" folder, it should get through (ie, so that you have proof you actually did send it when you did).

My guess is that the waitlist will not move as much this year due to double cohort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muchdutch Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 My guess is that the waitlist will not move as much this year due to double cohort I know that the double cohort will have a ripple effect lasting a few years, but wasn't the major effect last year? I don't think the waitlists will move that much either - I mean, not through the whole list. I think that year was a fluke year, and that was also when they routinely had interviews in February and in May, which may have made some kind of difference for some reason. As far as I know, they had never had that heppen before, and will probably never have it happen again (though for the rejectees sake, myself included, I sure hope it does!)

tallguy408 Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 double cohort=double-sized high school grad class from ontario due to elimination of OAC grade 13 in ontario Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heathcliff Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 just to add to that... Ontario graduated both grade 12 and grade 13 in 2003. So in 2003, it was very competitive to get into Ontario's universities. Applications skyrocketed. Ontario applicants diffused their applications throughout the rest of Canada, so everyone's numbers went up a little bit. Flash to now, when the larger classes of 2003 are graduating from University in 2007. These larger classes are expected to increase application numbers in those areas that typically get a lot of applicants from people after their degrees. Jobs, professional schools, etc. The effect this year is likely to be spread out a little bit. In the double cohort, the greatest increase in enrolment was in 2003, but this was spread out to some degree over the year before and the years after. So that is expected to play out similarly when it comes to professional schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jixe Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Well, it hit last year since the double-cohorts were in 3rd year and were able to apply early to some schools. I think there would be a full effect this year though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tallguy408 Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Keep in mind though, that the double cohort will only have a limited impact here due to IP/OOP limits on admission. OOP's have it tough, but IP's will notice modest or no change. Where the difference is greatest is at Ontario schools, particularly those with no IP/OOP divide.

heathcliff Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 I received my interview package in the mail today. In in Ontario, so they must have sent it last week.

heathcliff Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 Nope, sorry 600AD. My interview's on Tuesday, and I'm heading to Calgary that night. I will be going to Hudson's on Monday night, though, if I can find the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tallguy408 Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 Hudson's is about 200m from the hospital complex. The northeast corner of the hospital complex is the new diabetes institute (under construction) and is on the corner of 112St and 87Ave. If you head east down 87Ave literally 200m, you are there!
