harold99 Posted January 4, 2013 Report Posted January 4, 2013 Hi all, So ... I guess the waiting game for interviews is up soon enough. I've been a troller for a while but first time poster. Stats: Mature Student Grew up in the north (including highschool). two undergrad degrees (best GPA 3.3) Will see how things fare out. Goodluck to all!
taiga gal Posted January 5, 2013 Report Posted January 5, 2013 thanks Harold 99 not too long to find out last yr was jan 31 i believe
Real Beef Posted January 13, 2013 Report Posted January 13, 2013 Mature student too.......probably the oldest....another 2 weeks approx..all the best to the ones applying.... We have someone in our class who I think is either 41 or 43 yrs old. Also a couple of years ago they had a student who was in their 50s. I myself am 8 years above the average age and am 13 years older than my youngest classmates. Honestly it can play with your mind a bit sometimes but you learn to get over it.
taiga gal Posted January 25, 2013 Report Posted January 25, 2013 last year we received invites on jan 25.....here is hoping...
Wayward son Posted January 25, 2013 Report Posted January 25, 2013 last year we received invites on jan 25.....here is hoping... And the year before interview invites went out on Jan 18th...so they have to be going out soon.
RiverCityJill Posted January 26, 2013 Report Posted January 26, 2013 I think Monday is a good possibility.
Real Beef Posted January 26, 2013 Report Posted January 26, 2013 Good luck to all hopefuls. I wont be an interviewer this year but some of my classmates will. We are in our neuro module and they are looking forward to observing for sympathetic nervous activation of petrified inteviewees .... so try and relax. Beef
jojoluvsu2 Posted January 27, 2013 Report Posted January 27, 2013 Beef: what are the tells?? hahaha I remember absolutely shaking like a leaf during the first question then after that I completely relaxed and started to have a lot of fun.
leijona88 Posted January 28, 2013 Report Posted January 28, 2013 Beef: what are the tells?? hahaha I remember absolutely shaking like a leaf during the first question then after that I completely relaxed and started to have a lot of fun. For me the worst part was waiting for the first station with my back to the door for about 3 minutes; my heart was pounding and I couldn't help but think 'what the hell am I doing here?!' haha.. but once it got started, you have to focus so much that you almost don't have time to be nervous. I also found it quite fun definitely going to be better prepared next year now that I know what to expect.
InfiniteMe Posted January 28, 2013 Report Posted January 28, 2013 Question: In the past, have invites gone out through snail mail, or email?
Wayward son Posted January 28, 2013 Report Posted January 28, 2013 Question: In the past, have invites gone out through snail mail, or email? Invites will go out by both. You will get an email, at the same time a package will be sent out via snail mail that you will have to sign and return (if you receive an interview invite and are accepting).
medicacion Posted January 28, 2013 Report Posted January 28, 2013 This wait is killing me! NOSM is my first choice. After the rejection from Mcmaster, I hope NOSM gives me some good news.
tb123 Posted January 28, 2013 Report Posted January 28, 2013 This week is the worst. Atleast on May 14th you know it's all going to happen within a few hours, as opposed to a potential week and a half
lekarza Posted January 29, 2013 Report Posted January 29, 2013 This week is the worst. Atleast on May 14th you know it's all going to happen within a few hours, as opposed to a potential week and a half Ya very true! Though last May was the most stressed out I've ever been checking my email. Let's hope tomorrow we get some good news

We cant give everything away Besides most of them are autonomic reactions that you wouldn't be able to do anything about, i.e. pupil dilation ... This time next year many of you will be well into the neuro module amazed that only a year ago you were waiting for interview invites .... like me
rural_roots Posted January 29, 2013 Report Posted January 29, 2013 This wait is killing me! NOSM is my first choice. After the rejection from Mcmaster, I hope NOSM gives me some good news. I'm in the exact same boat. I'm a non-trad who only applied to NOSM and Mac and was not invited to interview at the latter. Best of luck!
harold99 Posted January 29, 2013 Author Report Posted January 29, 2013 And the year before interview invites went out on Jan 18th...so they have to be going out soon. I'm putting my money on sometime in February
tb123 Posted January 30, 2013 Report Posted January 30, 2013 I'm putting my money on sometime in February I really hope not. Was hoping to get the stress over this week
medicacion Posted January 30, 2013 Report Posted January 30, 2013 I'm in the exact same boat. I'm a non-trad who only applied to NOSM and Mac and was not invited to interview at the latter. Best of luck! Good Luck to you too Rural roots. We shall know soon. I am also non-traditional by the way.
Oliver1245 Posted January 31, 2013 Report Posted January 31, 2013 I agree, way too much suspense. And a lot of apprehension after recent rejection from MacMaster. I am an older applicant...probably the oldest!! I wish everyone good luck.
Lesort_qui_nous_étaitjeté Posted January 31, 2013 Report Posted January 31, 2013 *twiddling thumbs* while, you know, doing other productive stuff.
rural_roots Posted January 31, 2013 Report Posted January 31, 2013 I agree, way too much suspense. And a lot of apprehension after recent rejection from MacMaster. I am an older applicant...probably the oldest!! I wish everyone good luck. I am not usually an anxious person but this week has just been brutal. Checking the mailbox and my email each hour waiting to hear. If it doesn't come tomorrow at least we'll have the weekend not to worry about it. It's been great having you all on here as I know you empathize. At 30 I'm a mature applicant as well. NOSM is my first choice as I grew up in a rural community and I lived in Tbay for six years, so I would feel at home if I went back there! I hope we all find out soon one way or another so our restless minds can be at (relative) peace!
