invincible110 Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 Hi just thought I would create a thread for us invited OOP applicants. What are your plans to get there and how long do you guys plan to attend. Does anyone know how long the interview day is (i.e. what time does it end)? I am looking to book flights. My interview is on the 24th and I am thinking of flying in on the 23rd and leaving on the 24th but it appears the latest flight that day for the cheapest airlines is around 3-4 pm. I don't know if the interviews will be done by then. I am supposed to check-in at 8:15 am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bee23 Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 Eek, I just booked my flight, no backing out now! My interview is on the 25th at 8 am, so I booked my flight to leave Vancouver on Friday night and I will arrive at ~6 am on Saturday in Halifax. I booked my return on the Monday because I didn't want to stress about having to leave early on Sunday and miss anything. Excited to meet you all! Anyone know any hotels close to campus...?

mavrik13 Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 I booked a room at The Westin, it's really close to campus and I got a discount by booking with Expedia.ca Just an FYI... the Westin is about a 30 minute walk to the interview site... certainly not the closest hotel by a good margin. It is a nice place though, and you can always grab a cab. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
