petersmith Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Feb 19 and 20th. generally there are about 50 ppl interviewed OOP and they cut the lower 40% (~20 ppl). the top 8 gets accepted and the rest on WL. i think most years the WL moves pretty good. and acceptance is solely based on your interview. I think you mean March 19/20 for the interview date? Invited OOP OMSAS GPA: 3.93 (best two years 3.99). Percentage somewhere around 93-94%.

Ab_Med Posted February 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Okay, that invitation e-mail was very confusing. 1) First we need to send an e-mail and tell them who the 3 references are. 2) Then we need to send the forms to our referees? These forms, as far as I can tell, are not available online. I think the interview invitations go out in batches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I understood. It might be let them know on a form and send it in along with the references themselves, but there are no forms. I am e-mailing to find out. Keep you posted.

ndiggity Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 When I was interviewing 2 years ago, the reference forms came in the mail and that's what you send in. Also, the OOP waitlist usually moves through most of the list so if you pass the interview and your OOP, your chances are really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ab_Med Posted February 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 I just thought I would say that when I e-mail USask, they are so fast and understanding about your questions. Sherrill gets top marks from me. I hope I get to meet this fantastic team that makes up the admissions office at Sask med. Ab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kwm Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 I went to talk to admissions today about the reference letter issue everyone seems to be having. I was told that a paper copy of our invitations for the interviews will be mailed out either today or tomorrow. It will also include the reference letter forms. They just finished updating the forms today- that is why it was not up on the College of Medicine site. So the forms will be coming in the mail shortly, depending on where you live, and for those who do not wish to wait, you should be able to print the reference forms online, if you so wish, shortly! I hope this clears up some of the confusion that everyone has been having. Once again, good luck to all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

small_town_girl Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 So...I'm assuming all the invites are out? When do we get our rejections? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ab_Med Posted February 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Hey everyone, Reference forms are now available. You can find them here: http://www.medicine.usask.ca/education/medical/undergrad/admissions/Important%20Documents%20for%20Applicants/index.html I should add. Once I read these application forms, it seems that the Admissions committee are being straight forward in that they do not wish for an attached copy of a reference letter. Only in the case of a with reservation, or below average scoring do they wish for one. Not sure what everyone thought about this. Should they attach one anyways? Enjoy and good luck!

iicii Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 errrr...so in we need to mail in the following form ourselves right? Can I drop it off in person when I go interview? http://www.medicine.usask.ca/education/medical/undergrad/admissions/Important%20Documents%20for%20Applicants/List%20of%20Referees%202011.pdf are there any other documents oop applicants needs to mail in/submit??

I don't see why you can't just drop it off, since the interviews are before the March 31st deadline. And, for now, I think OOPs just need to get that form in and the 3 reference letters mailed by the referees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cautious Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Rejected as an OOP (they mailed me a letter to say that I was rejected but didn't bother sending an email) ... I really didn't want to move so far away from my family so this news doesn't bother me much. Nevertheless, good luck to all those invited! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iicii Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Gave them a call, they said they would like the formed mailed... also confirmed that no letter is required, just the reference form.

What i did 2 years ago is I gave my referees CanadaPost envelopes, the ones with tracking numbers. that way I would know if they sent it in. I trust my referees but I just prefer to always have a secure plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
