Pauly Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Bonjour, Je me demandais si quelqu'un sait combien d'entrevues en français il y a cette année? Anyone know how many interviews for the French stream this year? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pauly Posted March 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 did you mean 46? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PocketAce Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 did you mean 46? I think it's 90 interviews for 50 spots (2 more than last year's 48 seats) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PocketAce Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 So yeah, odds are pretty darn good. Just do your best and try not thinking about the stats. Interview is worth your whole score. It's all in your own hands! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_dopamine_ Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Hello! First time user here... I've called to confirm these numbers: Francophones- Interviewed 89, accepting 40 (~45% chance) Anglophones- Interviewed 501, accepeting 116 (~23% chance) * But keep in mind the Anglophone waitlist moves quite a bit. Hope this info helps. But as mentioned above, remember, there's really no use in playing the numbers game. It's evil! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose those numbers (40 and 116) exclude the special pools (i.e. CNFS, Aboriginals, PMEM)? Because the class size for 2011 entry is 164... So those stats must be only for the "major" pool?

Guest booya Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 I was at the info session before my interview and Chantal, the admissions officer, said they are offering the following number of interviews/seats: English:500 interviews for 116 spots French: 92 interviews for 48 spots. This includes the 8 spots for the french consortium peeps... The number of aboriginal applicants which will fall into the french or english streams will depend on their standings after the interviews but there are a minimum of 8 spots guaranteed.

DeliciousMelon Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 So how did everyone find the interview? (of course, without breaking the confidentiality agreement). Was it as terrifying as most people described in previous years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest booya Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Would anyone know how many interview invites there were for the CNFS group? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senor_immuno Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Would anyone know how many interview invites there were for the CNFS group? In the past it's been about 24 for 8 spots. However, the waitlist moves a lot since many of the students prefer to stay in their home province, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There seem to be less interviews across the board in French this year, so it looks like there are great chances for the French applicants who got interviews.

DeliciousMelon Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 So when are the offers given? english stream is May 5th. I assume it's the same for the french? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senor_immuno Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 So when are the offers given? CNFS offers usually come out earlier. Sometime in the middle/end of April. I think you only hear early if you're accepted, waitlist for CNFS comes the same day as everyone else (5 May). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigD Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 I'm CNFS and I haven't heard anything yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osmosis Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 thanks. i got in touch with admissions and they said they let everyone know May 5th. but, checking some of the previous blogs, it seems CNFS comes out a bit earlier. i'm hoping that as soon as a few people know, they will post something. the wait is driving me nuts.

bj89 Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 i thought the interview was pretty decent.... got one question where the interviewers kept questioning my answer and i was pretty distraught at first, but then remembered that they do that stuff... then collected my cool, and continued on !

some gurl Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 not sure if this has been discussed but would anyone know how far down the french stream wait-list they usually get? or even, how many people in previous classes have come from the waitlist? any help would be great - thanks!

123coco Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 This is entirely speculation, but I would expect the french waitlist movement to slightly exceed past trends this year because of the dalhousie-newbrunswick med school initiative starting this upcoming fall. I would expect quite a few french applicants to be from new-brunswick as there's a singnficant french population there. However, if they generally apply through the CNF stream, this change may be limited to the CNF stream and not affect the regular-french stream. Again, this is all speculation!

123coco Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 dalhousie and nb have started there own medical curriculum in french? Actually my bad, the program opened last fall... no the medical school is a satellite campus so they stream their lectures from Dal in english. But NB residents who identify themselves as being francophone are really bilingual.... For various reasons, I would assume that most would prefer to stay in their home province so andpick the dal-nb program over ottawa....but there's no facts here....all specs.
