medschool2012 Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Anyone knows how many people were interviewed (and for how many positions) for the u-level applicant pool?

Slipstream Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Anyone knows how many people were interviewed (and for how many positions) for the u-level applicant pool? Also, if anyone has an update on the final decision date, please let me know. They said about 200 applicants for ~85 MD-ROQ-U spots. Final decision date according to Michel Dansereau is March 22nd!! Pretty speedy compared to the other schools, but the wait is still tense! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medschool2012 Posted March 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Thx Slipstream! dnao2, well there was plenty of water everywhere, which was nice. Foodwise, I was so not hungry, that I did'nt really notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slipstream Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 How did you guys like the food that was offered? Haha I was definitely hungry, the sandwiches were delicious. Definitely more food than I was expecting to get Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clover_236 Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 My official transcripts are still marked as not received/processed on Minerva, not a big deal, but is it the same for you guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnao2 Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Yeah there was def. a lot of food. I wasn't expecting that they would let us take home the leftovers - kinda made me wonder how/if they stored the sandwich meat. Minerva still says my transcripts are not received/processed either. I sent mine first week of feb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cw351 Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 I submitted 2 transcripts from two different universities, and only one of mine shows up as being received. Maybe it just takes some time to process... but it makes me feel better knowing that others are in the same situation. ....16 more days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barracuda Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Transcripts are no big deal. I'm surprised they even updated one of yours.. I think they just wanted us to send them so that they had them on hand to review for those offered spots. No need to worry.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The food was such a pleasant surprise! I was in the afternoon on my day, and they actually put all the leftovers in ziplock bags at the end and asked us to take it home after our interviews!

dnao2 Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 There are presumably TEN more days until the results are out for OOP and International students. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cw351 Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Does anyone know why McGill is able to send out acceptances/rejections before most of the other Canadian schools? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnao2 Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 My guess is two of the following: 1) They do all their interviews (OOP,INTL,IP(UNI)) on the same weekend so they have all the info needed to make decisions quicker. 2) The pool for OOP/INTL (50/30?) is small and therefore they review the files much quicker. I'm not familiar with how many IP(UNI) interviews were extended so I can't really comment on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgol1988 Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 200 ROQ interview invites if im not mistaken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not familiar with how many IP(UNI) interviews were extended so I can't really comment on that. Their evaluation criteria (performance in MMI stations) also seems to be more simple to quantify and combine. When you consider that this takes 80% of the score, you can see how McGill's system is less subjectively operated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cw351 Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Good point, especially since the other 20% is performance in the pre-requisite science courses... also easily evaluated since we already designated those in our MDSR (http://www.mcgill.ca/medadmissions/admissions/selection-process).

medschool2012 Posted March 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 They released final invites on March 10th last year with a similar interview sked, so one can always hope they are done earlier than March 22th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During the post-interview talk, mr dansereau seems a bit iffy about the 20% attributed to Pre-reqs... I think it's more complicated than a pure academic assessment Take the scenario of a phd student applying. If he/she did the pre-reqs in cegep, their science knowledge may not be reflected in those grades.. So maybe they take the applicants context into consideration Anyway we will see. T-9!
