I think that's why I got an interview this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tooty Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 REJECTED oh well. my sister had a 3.92, amazing mcat, 1 year volunteer in africa, 4 years volunteer at foothills, volleyball etc etc and a masters and it took her 3 years to even get an interview and then only got in becuase someone dropped off of the weightlist. from my experience calgary is one of the more consistent schools in terms of judging your application holistically. if your sister's academics were legitimately 'amazing,' it could be her extracurriculars that were lacking. what has she done beyond africa, foothills and volleyball? it takes a lot more than that in the ECs imo. the 'etc etc' doesn't say much.

PCC Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 I didnt get an interview last year. The only thing I did this year was continued with my ECs from last year and got myself into a grad program. Did that make a difference? I was very close to the interview cut off last year though. So maybe I just got a tad bit luckier this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MEDDOC Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Can someone from the area suggest good hotels near the school? Thanks! These are the closest ones to the School. Closest-->Fartherst (All of these are pretty close to the school though) Econo Lodge Motel Village 2440 16th Avenue NW -- Calgary, AB T2M 0M5 Best Western Village Park Inn 1804 Crowchild Traill Northwest -- Calgary, AB T2M 3Y7 Thriftlodge Calgary North 2304 16th Avenue Northwest -- Calgary, AB T2M 0M5 Travelodge Calgary University 2227 Banff Trail -- Calgary, AB T2M 4L2 Slightly Further Quality Inn University 2359 Banff Trail NW -- Calgary, AB T2M 4L2 Comfort Inn and Suites University 2369 Banff Trail North West -- Calgary, AB T2M 4L2 I'd recommend taking a taxi from the hotel to the school. To ensure you get there on time. Or a med student, like myself, wouldn't mind driving some of you guys to the school. I know how stressful interviews can be and a little help can go a looooonggg way.

Guest MEDDOC Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 wao!!!!! ne ideas on what the cutoff would have been people..ofcourse we cant log in and see! I have no clue on what the cut off was this year. It usually changes depending on the applicant pool. Last year the cut off scores for invitation to interview at the past MMI were: Alberta: 71.05 or greater Non-Albertan: 74.13 or greater, according to the UofC website. So it's probably around there somewhere i would assume Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pantaloons Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Rejected. OOP. That's too bad; Calgary seems like a pretty cool place. Congratulations to those going to Calgary.

funkmunk Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 I'm going to stay at the Best Western Village Park Inn. It's within walking distance to the HSC (assuming its not -45 with wind chill), and its nice. Also, I like their breakfast buffet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpanishFly Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 These are the closest ones to the School. Good luck! Thank you, you are very sweet Well, I suppose it IS a bit of a distance. Well, thats not exactly what I was referring to. When I typed it into google, the first review I got back was "if you like the smell of piss and stale beer..." then I stopped reading. Are you trying to sabotage me Jochi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
