anyone hear about interviews?


Recommended Posts

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!

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.

yeah...the MMI link on the site says the week of Feb 4th...so i called today and the lady was very nice and told me invites would go out 'the first week of february' ... so unless she really meant to say 'the week containing the first day in february' it will probably be next week haha

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 :rolleyes:

 

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.

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 :cool: 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.

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.

 

Oh yes, I got rejected before. I've always been interviewed but never accepted. Hoping it's my year now hehehe.
