gb35 Posted October 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 i'd be interested as well for the toronto mmi practice. As would I. I likely won't give it much thought over the long weekend, but maybe once everyone has had a chance to do a bit of research we could set something up. Could be fun, and certainly won't hurt.

DocT7 Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 Cabs will also give you a 53$ flat rate, so if you happen to find 2 or 3 people to share with, that can be even cheaper than the airporter. Once we all book our flights maybe we could coordinate and go in on some cabs? I'll be coming from Ottawa. On that note, anyone in the Ottawa area want to do some MMI practice?

Addy K Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 I'd be down for that cab thing for anyone who is departing from Toronto. I'm going to be in Toronto within a few weeks before I head to Halifax, so I'm also in for MMI practice! Let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaeFleur Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 OOP, interview invite today! So as someone else mentioned, does anyone know how many OOPs are interviewed and how many accepted? Sorry to ask this as I'm sure its been asked a hundred times before.... To answer my own and your questions, I found this on the Dal website: Application Cycle for the Class of 2015 It is anticipated that in each application cycle approximately 350 (300 Maritime & 50 non-Maritime) will be invited for an interview. The selection of applicants is based on the scores from GPA, MCAT, supplementary information and the personal letter. Also I found that "There are 9 seats available to non-Maritime and international applicants." Hope that helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HBP Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 Chances are good once you've received an interview since the non-Maritime WL moves quite a bit. Probably 1/2 chance from here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GGGSaint Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 ^ PM101 takeover. 50 interviews isn't it? Then again, they said 60 last year and invited 80+, so we can't know for sure. Congrats all, I'll be coming down to Halifax as well . 3.86 OMSAS (most recent 2 years) Best MCAT: 33 R Totally stoked! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gb35 Posted October 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 Congrats to everyone. All 60 invites on premed101 or what? Exactly my thoughts... Seems like on interview weekend our nametags should have our pm101 user names instead of our actual names. For everyone else, keep me in the loop if anyone gets together for some practice MMI stuff. Definitely count me in. edit: Wait whoa, they invited 80+ last year? did not know that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plasticookies Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 Congrats to those who got an interview. I didn't put my stats up after saying that I got rejected: GPA: 3.8 or 3.9 (depending on if they round each year to one decimal place or if they take the final GPA and round it to one decimal place) MCAT: 42T ECs/Volunteering/Research: Lots of medically related stuff, some cool activities, review paper published recently. That's tough, ssd. Your stats are solid and ECs (from what I can tell) look good too. Hope you get in somewhere else. I got rejected as well. GPA: 3.89 MCAT: 36P ECs: the usual stuff (I think this did it for me..) OOP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
med1988 Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 Are those offered through the Career Centre? I just browsed the site and couldn't find any info on them. No I think through princeton review or the UofT med faculty. I am yet to research all this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my 3rd year applying to medical school, first time applying to Dal and my first interview invite!

Not far. I made roughly that walk (Superstore to Tupper building) biweekly. On a nice day, it's a great walk, and on a crappy day it's a 7 or 8 dollar cab ride.

It's only about a 15-20 min walk, and the #7 bus route will actually take you right to the Tupper as well if it's rainy or you don't feel like walking!
