Leon Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 I interview in another week but I can already feel the pressure of May 14, 2013. I figured I'd start this thread now. Last year I was an avid member of the waitlist thread. I hope that doesn't happen this year! This thread is for everyone who interviewed at Mac stay to sane will the 14th. Good luck to everyone!

trojjanhorse Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 I think it's 10 minutes. 2 mins outside the door, 8 minutes inside the room. (unless that's what you meant lol, then you are correct). See you tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck to everyone who still has to interview! ditto - the 1st year helpers were really kind and the MMI just flew by, what with the pressure and the level of engagement. Best of luck to everyone! Let's keep each other sane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leon Posted March 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Just wanted to say thanks to all the volunteer medical students that organized the activities. The speeches were really great and my overall perception of the interview is really positive. Kudos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trojjanhorse Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 I enjoyed the talk given by the president of the student council. Made me smile the entire time. "All med schools in canada will give you a good education. McMaster will give you a GREAT education" haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said the exact same thing yesterday, haha! The dude really gave a ring to the presentation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dasypus Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 I'm distracting myself by learning to crochet stuffed animals. Even if I don't get in, I'll have lots of stuffies to hug. And if I do get in... hey, still got stuffies! Right now, I'm working on this guy on the left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sobueno Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 I've got my interview on April 6th, and am just wondering if anyone has some good suggestions for a place to stay nearby campus? Not sure if there is anything in walking distance - that would be awesome - but something close-ish and in a nice area would be great! I'm also arriving extra early (on the Thursday) since I want to try and myself to a 3-hour time change. My interview is at 8am, and I'm coming in from Vancouver so that will feel like 5am my time . Point being I'll have an extra day to explore the campus/city, so any suggestions on things to do the day before interview would be appreciated as well!

Visitors Inn is probably the closest: http://www.visitorsinn.com/ Dundurn Castle and the art gallery are close. You could take a walk down Locke Street or in downtown Dundas (King Street). There are many trails/natural areas to go for walks as well. There's also a farmer's market downtown, but I've never been to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most places were booked over a month in advance so you might have trouble finding one. The only nice one I could find was Staybridge but it's a tad pricey.

Ranana Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 Not gonna lie, I was contemplating joining the marathon on Sunday morning. I probably would have been less stressed. That said, I ended up having a really positive experience at Mac. Good luck to everyone during the wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiverCityJill Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 Hi all. I hope the interviews are going well for everyone. I was wondering what people's opinions on having time left over in an MMI station are. There were quite a few times I found I had said all I had to say and addressed the prompts and I still had a little bit of time remaining. I feel like this is a bad sign. Thoughts?

Did you just chat with the interviewer in the remaining time? Or did not say anything? I doubt that it will matter either way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt that it will matter either way It depended. The ones that seemed open to chatting I chatted with. But in a lot of cases they would say, "if you think of anything you'd like to add go ahead but otherwise you don't have to." And I would usually think for a minute (in silence) and then add a small point and then the time would go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
