cowens Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 anyone hear about interviews for march yet? I'm out of the country now and requested [if i got an interview] to have it in the beginning of march]. i know there's been some that have invites for interviews, but those are the beginning of february. and here's a question - the newfoundlander interviews go on for at least a few weeks. how do they decide who gets interviews first? do they interview the best applications first and then move down the list until they are out of interview slots? or is it completely random? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuciLu Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 I am a Newfoundlander and I found out this week that I have an interview on Feb 22. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singerin Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Hey I'm a Newfoundlander living in Chicago and I got a call about a week ago at 6:30 am (I guess they didn't realize there was a time difference...) and I was told that I have an interview Feb. 22nd, but I have a huge conflict and I'm out of the country, so my interview is March 7th now. Has anyone with an interview received more info yet? Mail is sometimes a little slow getting down here, but I kind of need to make plans... thanks!

cowens Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 i had an interview last year. the 'more info' that they send you isn't really much. they give you the time of the interview and tell you if you have your tour of the school in the morning or the afternoon. there's usually a meet and greet lunch with other med students in the student lounge. i think they also gave the emails of a few students to contact with questions if you had any. and a reminder to check in with a photo id at the undergrad admissions office. if memory serves, that was about all of the info that they gave. maybe some sample questions. my question is - i actually requested an interview date of march 7th [if granted one]. i figure if i was getting an interview on that date, then i'd get a call or email this week coming [usually about 3 weeks before]. but i'm getting ansey. i'm living in the middle east right now and i need to know sonner rather than later. think i could call, explain the situation and ask if i have been selected? don't want to seem like a pain in the ass there [i called last week to add an additional contact number - but really to see if they would say anything about an interview - they didn't mention anything and i didn't ask]. is it pushing it to call and ask, or should i just wait until the end of next week?

eraserad Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 as far as I can tell there is no direct correlation between the quality of your application and your interview day unless of course there are some complicated day-by-day differences. Last year I had an interview in the beginning of February and this year I have it on Feb 29th. Overall quality of my application improved but not all that much compared to last year. NL resident.

KennethToronto Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 I guess there are a very few out of province (non-NFL/non-maritime) applicants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiscoDoc Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 I guess there are a very few out of province (non-NFL/non-maritime) applicants I doubt that. My guess is there are several hundred OOP applications for the 9 or so non-Maritime seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NLengr Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 I doubt that. My guess is there are several hundred OOP applications for the 9 or so non-Maritime seats. There are about 520 applications for the 8 International/Non-NL/NB/PEI seats. NL is not a maritime province by the way. Maritime provinces = NS, NB, PEI. Newfoundland and Labrador is grouped as an Atlantic Prov normally (NL, NS, NB, PEI). Don't call NL a maritime prov. during a MUN interview. That would almost be as bad as calling AB an Eastern or Central province at a UofA or UofC interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennethToronto Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 I doubt that. My guess is there are several hundred OOP applications for the 9 or so non-Maritime seats. Haha, that's so crazy. I checked some older threads..it seems OOP invites go out mid February. It's a ridiculous long-shot but you never know!

cowens Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 This year's interviews are weird - at least in timing. From what I can remember, they used to do the OOP interviews [definately the PEI, NB] before they did the NL interviews. And I think that last year. the NL interviews started mid Feb and continued to mid March [my NL interview last year was almost the end of March]. There are NL interviewees this year with invites for the first of February. [And I know that they are continuing until at leat the 2nd week of March]Seems like the NL interviews are going on a bit longer this year - more applications? or cuz they opened up a few extra seats?

DiscoDoc Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Maybe it's possible that they sent out the OOP invites already and these few dozen people (50-70?) just don't use PM101. Hopefully not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sickgirl Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 I am OOP (Prairies) and am still waiting patiently...hopefully for an interview, and if not, for a rejection so that I can stop waiting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowens Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 So this waiting is killing me.... Has anybody been invited for a March 7th interview yet? I know there have been some who have re-scheduled for March 7th, but has anyone been offered a March 7th yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobey Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 if you don't mind me asking, what are your stats (OOP people who recieved interviews)? And when did you get a call? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jwells Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Does anyone have an idea of how many rounds of interviews MUN typically goes through? It seems as if MUN has already offered a round to the maritime residents and two round to NL residents. March 7 seems to be scheduled for OOP residents. This late in the game do you expect there to be other rounds of interviews for maritime or NL residents or is it a safe to assume only OOP residents will be hearing back for interviews from her on?

DiscoDoc Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Since MUN has only 8 OOP seats looks like they have their pick of the nation's best. Sadly it looks 4.0 GPA / 40 MCAT is what they want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly it looks 4.0 GPA / 40 MCAT is what they want. Not necessarily I received an interview (OOP) I have a 3.89/4 gpa according to omsas (i go to u of Manitoba so here its a 4.24/4.5) and have a 34 P Mcat the 2nd time i wrote. I did not do as well the first time but they do look at both scores and compare improvement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
