Egg_McMuffin Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 Just checked my MCAT scores. 128 in every section except for psych (130). Not bad for a summer of full-time work + studying...I mean on one hand this proves I'm not a complete idiot, on the other this ain't gonna cut it for Western, which is 1 of the 2 schools I applied too (other one being Queens)...gah!!!!!

Egg_McMuffin Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 also how do i release my scores to OMSAS? I went to 'send scores' on AAMC but I don't see OMSAS listed as one of the institutions NVM found it. there was no option to pick which score to send though??

On the plus, all your application stuff is already in, so if you assume you're not getting in, you may get a very pleasant surprise in January.

Birdy Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Very excited to find out who gets interviews come January! I think I'm probably going to see about being a student guide for interview day because I really want a sneak peek at next year's class. Seeing all the interviewees looking all terrified like I did last yeah, that'll be fun. Best of luck in your apps, guys. It's worth it in the end!

Emojis4Life Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 I thought it was only common for second year students to be involved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birdy Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 There were a number of 2017s involved at my Mac interview, but I suspect it's because by the time interviews roll around in March, Mac second years are well into clerkship (we start November of second year) so they are probably a bit too busy, though there were some second and third years at my interview day for sure. I volunteered every year - it is fun, and important to try to destress people I think Oh yes. The student volunteers were absolutely lovely for that on interview day. Big smiles and friendly faces - just what we all needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmorelan Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 At Western the 2nd years are probably the least involved probably First years run the show - and it is pretty cool for them because only 8 months before they were getting accepted - it is all very fresh etc. I was at the QA sessions each year plus a variety of other roles, and gave the welcome speech a couple of times. In my last year I interviewed people. Each year I got to do something different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emojis4Life Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 I have a quick question. What if you (as an interviewer) knew someone you were interviewing? Is there a procedure for that or is it the luck of the draw? I'm assuming you'd have to declare a COI? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmorelan Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 yeah you basically have to excuse yourself, and they do a shuffle etc. I have a quick question.

In an MMI perhaps you would have to indicate it as it is all rolling real time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh so interviewers know the people they'll be interviewing in advance? Sorry for the silly questions. I'm not in med yet lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
