sickgirl Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 every other school has one of these threads...and when I check the U of C website it doesn't say anything about when interview invites go out...and the U of A went out today...and I just wanted to see if it was the same for Calgary...so I can stop biting my nails. so if you got an invite (and you're IP) leave a post here, wouldya? merci!

Jochi1543 Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Calgary said early February at the time we submitted the app. As far as AB sending things out...who told you so? I know there's one person who claimed they got one in the U of A forum, but that's the only one and s/he has yet to provide details, so I'm skeptical until then - especially since U of A gives you a Feb. 1 deadline for fall transcripts and claims to factor these grades into the decision, so it'd be rather illogical to send out interview before then.

fishy0118 Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Not sure about this year ... but last year we got the invite on Feb 5 ... and the interviews are just a month away, so I'd say this year it's probably the same (i.e. you should know within a week or two) ...

Kirby Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Does anyone know for sure when the invites come out? The applicant manual states Feb 1st, but the MMI section of the website states 'the week of Feb 4th'... which obviously means Feb 8th at like 4:45 PM Any thoughts?

cutiepie Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 I'm thinking is going to be late this week because the process was delayed 2 weeks (you know they gave us 2 extra weeks to re-do the application b/c of the formating issues). Of course the invites can get delayed too. That's what happened at several schools last year b/c the ad committee was behind I'm really hoping for interviews from 2 schools to broaden my chances. I *believe* I'll get one from U of C. Just not sure about the other school. Waiting for interviews isn't so bad. It's really waiting for the May 15th announcement that kills.

I bet the waitlist is THE worst part of it all. ETA: I personally don't care if the invites are delayed as long as the interview dates are also postponed. I mean, as an IP, travel is not a huge issue (I'd be driving to both U of A and U of C), but it'd be tough for OOPs or people in remote areas of Alberta to arrange travel on a short notice.

Nephets Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 Interviewers and interview times are already scheduled and it is unlikely they will be changed at this point. Short notice is part of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cutiepie Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 Interviewers and interview times are already scheduled and it is unlikely they will be changed at this point. Short notice is part of the game. If I remember correctly, Dalhousie & U of M changed their interview invite dates the week they were supposed to announce it. However, the interview dates itself weren't changed. It happens I doubt the ad com is thinking about other people's inconveniences at the time. But then Dal passes out its invites like 6 weeks before the interview so it's more time than Calgary. I'm glad U of Calgary's invites will be handed out earlier than U of A's. I *believe* I will get in this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jochi1543 Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 I *believe* I will get in this year. Did you get rejected before? It's my first time applying...I wanted to apply last year, but got overwhelmed in the summer and realized I wasn't adequately prepared for the MCAT. I'm really glad I didn't write it back then, I would've done terribly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I just looked at your post history. You seem to have a pretty good application! Did you apply outside of Alberta, too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
