esus Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Carolyn mentioned in her e-mail recently that there are 937 applications to Dal Med this year. On the Dal Med website in mentions for the class of 2015 (the most recent year available) there were a total of 656 applicants. Is this sort of fluctuation normal? What do you guys think caused such a huge increase in the number of applicants? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drrd Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 No reference letters this year. Probably made it easier to get an application in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muhgel Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Step 2 has not closed yet. Maybe the number will drop by a few, but not substantially I don't think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherbear Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 There were no reference letters last year either. It's entirely possible that people make applications and then decide not to complete them for whatever reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chirurgus Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 I know a few people that submitted step 1 then received a sub par MCAT score and then do not proceed with step 2. So that may happen to others as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's entirely possible that people make applications and then decide not to complete them for whatever reasons. +1 I believe this is the case too. People eagerly fill out their apps and when they either a) don't write their mcat have posponed their mcat to the point where Dalhousie is no longer in the equation (omsas still is) c) get a score that they are not confident with They don't complete step 2a and b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellee Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Oh my friend would fall in that category. He submitted step 1 then didn't realize the time zone difference and tried to submit step 2 on the deadline date at 11:50pm eastern time :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
