gracelikerain Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 Thanks future_doc! By any chance, did anyone receive the interview package in the mail yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davjw Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 I know someone who has their package (OOP), but I haven't received my package yet and I'm only two hours away from the university. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charty Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Does anybody know the rough amount of interview offers that are going around to IP students this cycle? I know in a previous year i had a quote from admissions that it was 125 IP offers (or maybe that was all offers, but I doubt that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelia Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 This is the info someone had posted for last year: Number of Interviews: 146 for NL 96 for outside province (PEI, NB, OOP) 4 residents outside of Canada 246 total interviewed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seemamb Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 If I have never heard from them, does that mean I have no hope getting an interview? I am OP. thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Singh Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 their interview process is like U of T's, you can still be offered an interview, it just depends if they've reviewed your file yet or not. not hearing back yet doesn't mean you've been rejected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
friendlyghost Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 I'm sorry to probe if you've received bad news -- has anyone had regrets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Singh Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 I think regrets usually come out in late february or march, just one big batch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rapy13 Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Unfortunately, I've gone through this process several times and this has been the general process: They review all aplications and then rank them. A given number of NL's, NB's PEI's and OOP's are offered interviews. Those interviews are completed and if they don't find acceptable candidates in the first batch to fill the seats, they will go back to the list and interview more applicants. So, as time goes on, it will become less and less likely that you will be notified. Hope this helps anyone who is still in limbo, I've been there before and I know how much it sucks!!!

EliBurbidge Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 I was offered an interview, but the time conflicted with my interview for UBC. I'm OOP for both and I had already booked a flight to Vancouver. There was no way I could do both. They offered me one time slot and refused to change it even after I explained my situation. It seems like a good enough school, but the way I was treated by their admissions office was ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yugerry Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Aww that's horrible . I would contact the dean and try to explain my situation for them. Does anyone know if there is a written component for Memorial MMI? I was not expecting to receive an interview from them (being an OOP) therefore have not done much research about their MMIs.

gracelikerain Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Hey yugerry, I don't think it's an MMI. From my understanding it was a panel interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NLengr Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Unless things have changed this year, it is a panel interview. Also, to the OOP above with the time conflict, try to contact the dean of admissions directly and explain the situation. Sometimes office staff don't want to have any flexibility, which is unfortunate, because it reflects poorly on the school. The worst that will happen is they will refuse, which means you won't interview there anyway, so who cares if they think you are annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBestMedicine Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 rapy13: The admissions office told me that they review files in alphabetical order... however, they do not necessarily schedule interview in alphabetical order. Therefore, not receiving an invitation to interview immediately is no big deal. Though, as you say the longer you wait the less likely it is. Though, I do not believe that they work on a rolling admission as you suggested. Eli: That is horrible news and completely ridiculous, as MUN interviews for several weeks. You really should call the Dean! Yugerry: There is no written component, and it is not an MMI. However, the admissions office is considering changing to MMI in the future. Though, they have indicated that initially, they would try a mixture of MMI and standard panel (choose best mark or weight each, I do not know).

Angelia Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 I'm assuming since it's getting pretty late in the new year that if we haven't heard from MUN - it's probably not good news? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOMAD Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 I am still keeping my fingers crossed. From previous years (looked back on the forums), this is the week that they contacted people for interviews. Now, this information is bias, but again, lets keep our fingers crossed.

Dr_Scully Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 From the "Important Dates" section on their website: January, 2012 Admissions Committee reviews applications and selects for interviews. Jan./Feb./March, 2012 Applicants are informed of interviews and interviews are conducted. Mid-March, 2012 Applicants who are not selected for interview are informed. So I'm guessing it may be a while before people hear from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Labrador11 Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Just wondering, what is the lastest day anyone has heard of for interviews being conducted for this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mist Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the general feeling around campus seems to be that interviews finished last week. I could be completely wrong about this, but I figured I'd put it out there. On that note, has anyone heard if IP offers are going to be moved up this year?

Davjw Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Blade Runner, when I was at Memorial for my interview, several of the people who I chatted with said the word around is that everything (including IP decisions) is being done earlier this year. Edit: If anyone wants to call and confirm this though, it would be much appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alliek Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 I emailed them last week and asked when IP decisions would be announced and they still haven't replied Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Scully Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Any OOP still not hear anything from them? The website says they are doing interviews until March...and that rejections are sent out mid-March so I'm kind of assuming the worst at this point.

TheBestMedicine Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 I second that interviews are finished for this year. In terms of a sooner admissions date... my understanding is that it will be on or around the 15th of May for IP. OOP are notified earlier because there are fewer to sift through and to be competitive with Dal for securing OOP students. If OOP were notified later, students who would prefer to go to MUN may have already paid a non-refundable deposit elsewhere. However, it is my understanding that in the coming year(s) MUN hopes to start the application cycle sooner and conduct interviews before Christmas. I do not know if that means that notification of IP students would be moved up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Labrador11 Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 The letters were out within the first week of May last year for IP. I received my rejection on May 3rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yugerry Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Sorry to hear that. On another note, that's sort of early compared to other school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
