Oly Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Hey, For everyone heading to U of C for an interview this year, congrats! I'm pondering heading to Banff on Monday to snowboard, but I'm flying to Calgary all alone and have no one to go with. Anyone interested? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GGGSaint Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Hey, For everyone heading to U of C for an interview this year, congrats! I'm pondering heading to Banff on Monday to snowboard, but I'm flying to Calgary all alone and have no one to go with. Anyone interested? Radical idea. Hopefully you find a buddy to tag along. I'd be totally down but I never applied to U of C. Enjoy Banff if you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larva Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 What a good idea! If only I didn't book my flights yesterday... That being said, if anyone wants to head into the hills on Saturday for some PRE-interview fun I'd totally be down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatonekid Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Ah, I just booked my ticket for Monday early morning. Otherwise I'd have loved to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oly Posted February 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 I'm cool with going on Friday or Saturday if there is interest on those days? I haven't booked my flight yet so I'm flexible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oly Posted February 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 I think I'm worried enough that I won't be back that I feel I should make the most of my only visit to Calgary... *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewfieMike Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 I was thinking about having a party at my house that Saturday night. How can I advertise this without 600 premeds showing up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larva Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 I'm cool with going on Friday or Saturday if there is interest on those days? I haven't booked my flight yet so I'm flexible I'm in for Saturday! I don't mind renting a car if there a few people who want to go. Newfie, I think you should commit to the party and just see who shows up - think of it as a social experiment. As long as you don't promise free beer or lots of hot girls you should be safe.

Oly Posted February 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 larva, so when do you fly in? It would be good to go early-ish in the morning on Saturday, come back in the early evening to get a good nights sleep before the interview. I saw a rental promo which is $32 (after tax etc) for a whole 2 days, thats a great price, even if we split 1/2 thats only $16 where as the bus fare is in the 100 range per ticket. btw, are you 25+? Because I'm not, so I can't rent a car in my name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oly Posted February 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 PS, Mike, I would guess that a maximum of 300 would come because the other 300 have their interviews Sunday morning. You're safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larva Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 I get in Fri night. Yep - I'm an oldie so renting the car is no prob. Your timeline for Sat is good too, nothing like being outside all day to ensure a good night's sleep! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can I advertise this without 600 premeds showing up?I don't think tons of people would show up. The med students are hosting a gathering at Moose's on Saturday night as well. I'm thinking that more people would show up to that than your place. ' Or you could just have it by invite only and send people a pm of the details.

NewfieMike Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 yeah, I didn't know people were going to Moose's after. I'd much rather do that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobs Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 I'm free for skiing/snowboarding in Banff or Lake Louise on the Monday after my interview! I probably wouldn't want to go on the Saturday before... Goggle tan just wouldn't look right with my suit! [EDIT] I'm also free on Friday! I'm also happy to meet up with out-of-towners - depending on when flights come in, I might even be able to help with trips from or to the airport. Drinks on Sunday after the interview would be fun, and I'm planning on dropping in on the mixer at Moose's for a few hours on Saturday night. Any other exciting meet-up ideas?

medtech Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 I'm game for hitting the slopes or the party. I'm in Calgary by Thursday morning (9:30 landing) and my interview isn't until Saturday afternoon... I'm pretty psyched about meeting new people, seeing a new city, it's going to be a good reading week for sure I'm staying at a med student's billet, apparently it's 2 minutes walk from the interview spot so I'll definitely end up at the moose PS: I've been boarding once so I might have to stick to skis (a broken ulna or radius might not be so good for the written MMI haha) EDIT: My flight's Sunday at 6:00 PM so I'm not sure Sunday is possible for me unless the hill's like half an hour from the airport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobs Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 EDIT: My flight's Sunday at 6:00 PM so I'm not sure Sunday is possible for me unless the hill's like half an hour from the airport How about skiing at Lake Louise on Friday?

medtech Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Sounds good, how are we doing on the transpotation? As a out of towner I really don't know the logistics that would go behind this trip. I'd be happy to pitch in gas money or take public transit with a little guidance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oly Posted February 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 I land at 9am on Friday. I have a feeling I will probably be a little tired from the travels to ski the same day. I should probably stick to just the Saturday with Larva. Now what to do all day Friday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oly Posted February 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Yes to wanderings on Friday! I was going to wander alone, but friends are better! I haven't booked accommodation yet, might do Super8 or Thriftlodge, they seem to be the cheapest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
