Guest Ian Wong Posted March 25, 2001 Report Share Posted March 25, 2001 Author:*Ian Wong, MS2 Date:***2/11/2001 9:26 pm*PST * First thing. For U of Ottawa, stop on over at http://www.debbieleung.com She's a first year med student at U of Ottawa, and her e-mail is listed on that site. Tell her Ian sent ya! I can tell you about Saskatchewan as I interviewed there back in 1999. Things might have changed since then, but I doubt they would have changed too much. U of Sask interviews the top 15 out of province (OOP) students who apply. They decide this based mainly on your GPA, and to a lesser extent, your MCAT score. The system they use there is quite weird: I remember them using my two best years of undergrad only, and not my third year. I applied during my third year. I don't know how they would do it if you were in your fourth year, or if you have gotten your Bachelors already, and were working on/completed a second degree. Once U of Sask decides to interview you, they then ask for reference letters. So initially, the only things you send them are your registration form, a transcript and MCAT scores, and your cash. No need for reference letters or essays, making it a very simple school to apply to. After the interview, 5 OOP students are accepted. In that year, I heard through the grapevine that no OOP students ended up attending U of Sask. I think if you have the numbers to get into U of Sask, you can probably get into your home province medical school. And if you can get in there, personally I didn't find that much appealing about spending the next four years of my life in Saskatoon.

Guest Ian Wong Posted March 25, 2001 Report Share Posted March 25, 2001 Author:*jeniah Date:***2/14/2001 5:52 am*PST * i know of only 1 person who has received notification of an ottawa interview and no one who has been rejected. i also know of a few people who would definitely meet the cutoff and have great autobiographies who haven't heard anything either.... so maybe they are not done inviting people? this question is for the person who posted the ottawa gpa's. where did you get them from, and what is the value for applicants from ontario but not the ottawa region. same as out of province?

Guest hhh Posted March 27, 2001 Report Share Posted March 27, 2001 I got an invitation to UO on Sat. as a grad student. Does anyone know how many grad students they interview, and what the process is at this point for grad students as compared to undergrads. And also with respect to residency at this point in the game. Has anyone interviewed at UO, I heard that it can be very confrontational. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest anonymous Posted March 27, 2001 Report Share Posted March 27, 2001 Are you a PhD student or a Masters student, and how many pubs do you have?? One last thing, when was the mailing date on your interview notice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hhh Posted March 29, 2001 Report Share Posted March 29, 2001 I am an MSc. I had some publications so I guess that helped. My GPA was pretty low though. Anyone have any idea about how the grad process works at this point in the process? Are 'ontario residents' treated equally at this point, or not?

Guest anonymous Posted March 30, 2001 Report Share Posted March 30, 2001 Just received my official rejection. I'm a grad student, with a 3.83 GPA, but too few pubs... Oh well, U of T may be my saviour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
