chicklets3 Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Beef, That happened to me last year. I live only an hour and a half away from Sudbury but my interview was in Thunder Bay. I wasn't able to change it, as all of the invitations were sent and the time slots were filled. I must admit, though, I didn't try very hard...I was just happy that I had the interview! My family and I drove the 10 very long hours to T.B. In good weather (which we had) it was actually a beautiful drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I indicated Sudbury as I am a 1 1/2 hour drive away. I will look at my printed off OMSAS forms tonight after work and see if I made the horrendous mistake of ticking the wrong box. Oh well if its Thunder Bay than I guess we'll get to meet Beef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clboulia Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Yours is same place/time as mine Um... on the application they asked which campus you preferred for interview, did you indicate Sudbury? Baha! Nevermind, I actually indicated on mine that I preferred Sudbury and they gave me Thunder Bay. I am in the middle of the two, so it doesn't matter for me. Maybe give them a call and see if you can change it. I'm a little thrown that their dates are the same as McMaster's. I already had to send Mac a confirmation that I was available for their proposed dates... if I get an interview there, I certainly hope it isn't on the same day!

Hoote Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Didn't get an invite this year. I think getting posted to Edmonton really sealed the deal! Best of luck to you all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicklets3 Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Don't give up Hoote! I grew up and lived my entire life in St. Albert and in Edmonton until 9 years ago when I moved to northern Ontario. I was still able to receive an interview last year and this year. Your personal and work experience, as well as the time you've spent in northern and/or isolated communities is always looked at and recognized. Another year may be YOUR year!

Wayward son Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Interview - Thunder Bay. Really hope this is my year. Congrats to those with interviews.

CRK Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 What a pleasant surprise it was when I checked my email this afternoon! Wasn't expecting an email at all - especially when their website says interview invites will go out mid-February. I prefer it when they surprise us this way - its much less stressful than constantly checking your email in the lead up. Interview March 25 in Thunder Bay!

I had an interview last year but I was stationed on a base of only 1500 people vs now I'm living in St Albert. That probably tipped the scale. Context is very important. Here's to next year!! All the best to you who received an interview! You'll have an awesome experience and the time will just fly by!!! Hoote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alabaster Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 March 24th Thunder Bay. Very pleasantly surprised considering my context score (born and raised in Winnipeg, no rural experience) was likely very poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crete Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 I am little confused about the context score. Is it only taken into account pre-interview, or throughout the post-interview decision as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbm10 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 I am little confused about the context score. Is it only taken into account pre-interview, or throughout the post-interview decision as well? Before interview...1/3 context, 1/3 ABS, 1/3 GPA After interview 1/2 interview, 1/6 context, 1/6 ABS, 1/6 GPA Good luck everyone, be sure to have fun at the interviews !!!

lcamero2 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 I got an offer too! March 24th at 1:45 in Thunder Bay. Luckily I am from here so there is no travelling involved. Anyone else going at this time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWOsw Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Congrats everyone who received an interview!!! Please keep in mind, where you get to interview has little impact on where you may be placed if accepted. They try and accommodate everyone, but it is impossible with set places. Remember approx 200 interview in each city. Also keep in mind, if you get accepted to Thunder Bay, chances are that's where you will have to go (although there seems to be some minimal changing each year and location wait lists once accepted). When applying to NOSM, you really need to be willing to attend either campus. Again, congrats to everyone! If anyone has questions about the process, send me a message (I pop on every once in a while) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
