war485 Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 A little shocked that I am without any answer yet... I noticed one of you mentioned getting your interview in NB... were all of these in NB or did people recieve Hali interview as well? Thanks, EC89 I'm in N.S., and will interview in Halifax. You'll get yours soon, likely this upcoming week. Don't forget, it's still early! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glyptemys_insculpta Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 I am an IP applicant and still waiting to hear. Anyone else in the same situation? Have any IP applicants received rejection emails yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rapy13 Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 I wuld give them a call and see whats up. I know of IP's that got rejection letters a couple of weeks ago. Good luck!!

Glyptemys_insculpta Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 Good to know. I'm assuming everything would come via email? I'm holding my breath! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoast89 Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 Good to know. I'm assuming everything would come via email? I'm holding my breath! I am still waiting as well. Offiicial date is Nov. 1, so I guess they are allowed to take their time. The rejection date has passed so I don't think we should be too worried.

TDV08 Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 I'm an IP applicant, also waiting for details...not sure what platform Dal is using for the email notification approach to this process...would be nice if everything went out all at once! I definitely agree that for planning purposes, OOP applicants need as much lead time as possible, so early notification for them is understandable.

2014? Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 In the past, interview notices went out at the same time.. that being said- they have had problems with emails in the past. As an example, mine was sent to a dal email address that I didn't use, despite me specifying that I would like email sent to another address.... the server sometimes overrides in favour of a dal email. I'd recommend getting in touch with the office if you still haven't heard anything either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boredofthetruth Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 Got mine... In Saint John?! I live less than a 3 minute walk to the Halifax infirmary. Ridiculous. Hopefully I can have it switched... It's unreasonable to expect someone to go 5 hours away (and spend hundreds of dollars!) for an interview when they actually live right next to the Halifax interview site. Shouldn't this be done geographically? If for some reason someone here wants to switch, let me know. Sorry, it probably sounds like I'm complaining... I'm glad to be given this opportunity. Just not happy it's in SJ! I am in the same situation mavrik. I emailed them, not complaining but making sure I was still be considered for admission to the Halifax campus since I don't qualify to go to the Saint John campus (not a NB resident), and they said it was done by submission date. Basically a first apply, first assigned method instead of by proximity to the campus. I will also be making the 5 hour trip from Halifax to Saint John.

Thanks for posting this - makes me feel a little better (and is worthwhile information for those applying next year). Still seems silly to me (why not have another interview date in Halifax?), but at least it was done in a fair manner. What I have been thinking about over the past couple days is 'what if they put the lowest rated applicants from NS in Saint John for their interview' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDV08 Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 If anyone is still wondering what is happening with Dalhousie Admissions I just got off the phone with them...most invitiations have been sent out (all have been sent out for general stream IP and OOP) however if you are an MMTP applicant, the military is dragging their heels to square away a new contract, so this is what is delaying your invitation notice. Regardless, if a new contract is not formed soon, you will be invited for an invitation under the general stream IP/OOP with everyone else. So long as you met the requirements for application you are good to go! There are three of us by the way, applying to Dalhousie under MMTP!

ryacha Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 This is going to sound like a set of ridiculous questions, but here we go: 1. Do you sit across from your interviewer with a table in between at each station or do you stand up? 2. I'm guessing no, but do you bring scratch paper with you? 3. Bottle of water acceptable? 4. Is there anything (other than ID) you should bring on the day of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually the stations are in examination rooms in the hospital, so there is usually just two chairs in there for your interviewer and yourself. No tables. You are definitely not expected to stand. 2. No scratch paper. 3. No personal waterbottles, but there is water provided on the track for drinking between stations or during your break station. 4. I just asked around and none of us can remember bringing anything but some ID (and a backup piece just in case). If I do remember something, I'll let you know!

MaeFleur Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 Will there be a secure place to keep suitcases + laptop at interview? Or boots and a winter coat if it'll be slushy and gross out? Also, Lemonade9 could you link to the Facebook page? I can't seem to find it properly using the search. Thanks!

lemonade9 Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 While I'm not sure EXACTLY what the set up will be, I know last year there was a locked room where we kept our coats and bags while we went to the interview. I heard mention of another secure location to keep suitcases for people leaving right after the interview - I'm not personally familiar with it because I was a local, but there will almost certainly be something in place for you guys, and I can let you know when I know. Also, a lot of hotels have baggage storage if you're leaving later in the day, if any of you are interested in that.

Squectangle Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 Hey everyone, I have an interview on November 21st at 8:15am, and was wondering if any another female with that interview time would be interested in sharing a hotel room. Also, I'll be flying in from Toronto City Centre Airport on Saturday, and arriving at 5:40PM. So if anyone else is flying in at that time, I'd be more than interested in sharing cab fees. Please contact me at jiangz2@mcmaster.ca if interested =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
