silvantes Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 Hey!! anyone? Should we bring anything in with us? For note taking during or for after during the tour? Is there a place to put our belongings while being interviewed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inthesticks Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 I was interviewed there last year - when you check in you can leave your coat/belongings at the registration desk, I believe. I never took anything into the interview, there wasn't much opportunity to write anything down during the interview - in my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hockeypenguin04 Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Everyone gets the same questions except for the "question of the day" (ethics related). Just had mine, seemed to go good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvantes Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 Just had my interview this morning. It went well. Mostly questions were broken down into a few groups about who you are /how you view yourself /how others view you /physician qualities / questions..and an ethics question somewhere in there. Sample questions are on their website so check that out. Know yourself and your experiences. I was able to get in my life story lol and my interests and why I thought this was my path. You can add stuff at the end too! There were a few little laughs but it was very professional. I personally was more nervous than I thought I would be and this caused a few word stumble moments but for the most part I got out what I planned on and they were more than nice. I tried to show myself in a way that I would stand out and I hope it worked! They also had great facilities and a lot of research possibilities, I also heard they plan on changing the curriculum next year along with the new expansion..maybe that's old news lol Good luck to anyone with the interview ahead of them! * This year the memorial threads are a little dead so I will post what I can. Does anyone know how many NBers were interviewed? I heard there were a bunch last Friday but today there were not so many... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvantes Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 anyone sending thank you cards? how do you go about it? addressed to admissions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjd2012 Posted November 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 anyone sending thank you cards? how do you go about it? addressed to admissions? hmmm.. i have actually never heard of this. not sure if it is my limited experience in the admissions process or if it is not a normal occurrence here at MUN (haven't heard this from friends who have applied in the past). can anyone with more knowledge comment on this? personally, i think that it may be taken as overly gratuitous or perhaps an overzealous attempt to be noticed? (I do not mean that in a mean way). i can certainly see sending a thank you card to a student who may have allowed you to stay with them while travelling here for interviews or perhaps someone who went above and beyond to make your experience the best possible or helped you specifically in some way, however to just send it to the admissions office to say thanks for the interview? unsure about that one. however, like you, i would also like to hear what others have to say/have experienced on this topic.

I have heard it mostly on SDN so it may just be a U.S. thing. My wife has done a ton of research on this stuff and she seemed to think it was normal although again maybe just U.S. ? anyone have any info?

NLengr Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 I never sent one to any of the three schools I interviewed at. Got offers of admission from all three. Honestly, a card isn't going to influence anything in your favour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that not a reason people do things?..lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that not a reason people do things?..lol I don't think it's worth anything since the admissions committee would never see it, but it's only a couple bucks to buy and mail a card, so if you feel obliged there is likely no harm.
