lachicab Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 I just got an invitation for an interview via email. It says a package will be sent out in the mail today with the info as to the date etc... None of that was included in the email. I'm from Toronto - born and raised, so it was definitely a surprise. I do qualify as a francophone, but that's the only thing that helped me. Good luck guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
temp_degoo Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 what qualifies as a francophone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amixofmisfit Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 Yay!! I got a interview as well. I was raised in rural NL, thought I wouldn't get a invitation as I'm not from Northern Ontario. So, I guess it doesn't matter if your not from Norther Ontario Good luck to everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lth Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 Rejections are going out too, I got one in my e-mail. It was funny, though, 'cause I REALLY wasn't expecting an interview from NOSM, so it kind of threw me off to see an e-mail from them in my inbox, but the world made sense again when I saw that it was a rejection.

lachicab Posted February 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 This is from the NOSM site and I fulfilled the secondary school requirement. Anyone choosing the designation of Francophone, for the purposes of the admissions process, on the application form must be fluent in spoken and written French. Applicants must meet one of the following criteria: One parent is Francophone and applicant attended at least 6 years of French school (not immersion). Applicant has a diploma from a French secondary school. Applicant can demonstrate use of French in daily activities and/or a connection to a Francophone community. Those applicants who have chosen the designation of Francophone on the application form and who are offered an interview will be interviewed in English in the same interview process that all candidates will undergo. In addition to this interview process, Francophone candidates will be required to attend an assessment of their French language skills at the interview site.

AMmd Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 can you guys post your stats that would be nice to see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asdf Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 I also got an interview invite today. My stats: GPA: 3.7 Probably average or slightly better ECs, research, volunteer etc. than most. From rural (but southern) Ontario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lachicab Posted February 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 - Born and raised in TO, never lived elsewhere - I'm a francophone, but that is the lowest of helpful categories, aboriginal and rural communities are more important. It seems like being a francophone is just a plus from the info on the site. - wGPA - 3.95 - 4th year student - Lots of ECs, research, international volunteer experiences, student government, etc... Hope that helps you guys who are waiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vector Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 rejected.... from rural ontario, but not northern. although I did get a sick twisted pleasure when I saw that the title was NOMS instead of NOSM.... Hilarious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X-Ray Girl Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 It must have only been the rejection letters that had NOMS in the title. My e-mail did not have NOMS anywhere on it...only NOSM!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eise Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 rejected.... from rural ontario, but not northern. although I did get a sick twisted pleasure when I saw that the title was NOMS instead of NOSM.... K, so irrelevant (especially with a rejection), but just kinda interested.....the email address was NOMS.Admissions@.......Is it NOMS or NOSM? I call it NOMS cause it's easier to say but I though it was NOSM. Anyone know (or care)? *hayley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
