Eosinophil Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 Does anyone know the answer to this: Do I have to study at the new site if I get accepted via the early interview or I can choose to study at the main campus? thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrick83 Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 My understanding is that the only people studying at the UNB campus will be New Brunswick applicants, and that there is not "choice". All NB applicants will have to study at the UNB campus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-Stark Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 That's correct. I suppose that might change in the future, but that looks to be the case for the class of 2014 at the very least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc2B Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Correct. There is no way for a NB applicant to study at the Halifax campus and no other applicants can study at the NB campus. Anyone can do their interview at other campuses though (this year). I believe next year, it will likely be that the interviews in Saint John will only be for NBers but I don't have all the details on that at this time. I do know that in future years they will be happening on the same date so there won't be an earlier and later one next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJDakoo Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 sorry, I'm confused...so if I apply for the early interview date (oct14) and get in, then I will automatically be placed at the saint john, NB site?! Is that right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w8kg6 Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 You'll automatically be placed at the SJ site if you're from NB, regardless of when you interview. If you're not from NB, you can't go to the SJ site, and can only go to Hali. I think you can interview whenever, regardless of where you're from.

DJDakoo Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 oh ok...well im from toronto and planning on going for the early interview date but was just a bit confused So if you apply to hali campus, can you still get placed in saint john, NB? (not that I would care..just wondering tho lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w8kg6 Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 ... read my last post. I don't think I could have been any clearer. If you're not from NB, you can't go to the SJ site, and can only go to Hali. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eosinophil Posted October 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 One more question: Let's say I don't get an interview for the early date, will my file be thrown out or I will be considered for the late interview as well? If many people apply for the early interview and if the files are thrown out then I will have a better chance if I apply later since there will be less applicants to compete with compared to last year. BTW i'm OOP as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If many people apply for the early interview and if the files are thrown out then I will have a better chance if I apply later since there will be less applicants to compete with compared to last year. BTW i'm OOP as well That's actually a good question. From what I've seen in recent years, there isn't necessarily a set number of people they interview from OOP. Like, they don't take the top 50 or whatever, and then that's it. I think that you would be held to the same standard for the first round as you would in the second (like, the same cutoffs and whatever), so if you were rejected first time around, you would likely have been rejected for the late interviews as well.... but keep in mind this is pure speculation on my part. As far as we know, it's may only be NB people who are invited to the early interview, so you don't have anything to worry about in the first place. For your question though, I'd expect that you would be held to the same standard as the later interviewees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supafield Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 I asked in an e-mail, and anyone can apply for the early interview, including OOP applicants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW i'm OOP as well You are only considered for the interview that you apply to. If you apply to early interviews, and are not chosen, you application will not be considered for the later one. Dal does not set a limit to how many people are selected for interview. If there are 10 times more applicants this year, there will be 10 times more people who get interviews. You stand the same chance regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc2B Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 I'd like to clarify. There are only a certain number of applicants that can be interviewed in New Brunswick. It is not restricted to a particular pool of applicants. They do only take a select few OOP applicants per year around 50 to be interviewed that likely won't change this year despite the 2 interview sessions. If you have requested to be interviewed early and your application is reviewed and determined to be "Not Competitive" then you will be rejected and will not have a chance to interview at either time. You'll have to reapply, if they simply run out of interview space in the early interview but your application was NOT reviewed for this interview time (due to the limited space) they will likely notify you that they cannot interview you in NB but that your application will still be considered for the later interview. So just to clarify again, there is a limited number of interview spots for the early interview once they are gone if there are competitive files or files not yet reviewed they will be considered for/ interviewed in the later interview time. This is the only year where there will be an early and a late interview, we've never had it before and it likely won't happen again in the future.

LawDoc79 Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 I have seen some comments on this issue but I'm wondering if anyone has verified for certain with the admissions office whether NB residents (who have to go to the Saint John campus for school) are eligible to interview in Halifax in Feb. The reason I ask is because I just read an older newspaper article which quoted the associate dean as saying that to be considered for the Saint John program(ie NB applicants) applications had to be in by October 14th. If this is the case then any NB residents who did not submit their applications early are out of luck. This is not the impression I had from reading the admissions website and I hope it's not the case. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc2B Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 As a NB resident you can be interviewed in Halifax this year. You are not constrained by the early submission deadline. In the future the interviews will be done at the same time and the NB students will be interviewed in Saint John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fistofwater Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 What if you get an early interview but realize the dates might not work out for you? Any chance you could get your interview pushed to the other stream? Just curious.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would you have to do that was more important than an interview that could possibly determine your carreer and the rest of your life? I think this should be on the top of your priorities. I doubt that you'd be able to change it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc2B Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 I don't know the answer to this, but I would assume that the answer is likely no. They only have a select number of interview spaces in NB and they won't appreciate leaving a space empty because you couldn't organize your schedule properly. If you already know about a conflict and have selected that you want to be interviewed early then I would suggest that you contact the admissions office and ask to be considered only for the later interview before they actually send out interview notifications.

I think this should be on the top of your priorities. I definitely agree that the interview is important. But depending on one's values and priorities in life, it might not take precedence over, I don't know, a sibling's marriage, or a funeral, or something. I was just looking to see if the option to pursue both the interview and a potentially conflicting commitment exists, maybe by shifting things around if possible. I don't see anything wrong with that. I doubt that you'd be able to change it. I don't know the answer to this, but I would assume that the answer is likely no.
