Calgary Interview Discussion 2014

[bighopes100]

Agree 100%

 

We did a ton of practice this year, and I've had several instances of having the same question from session to session. I honestly don't think I did any better the second go-around on them. If anything I was worse because I didn't feel the need to work so hard at showing my thought process.

 

Just my 0.02p in case anecdotal counts in anyone's book.

 

meh I disagree a little bit. There's certain things (that I can't discuss specifically) that people can be warned about to help them out.

Status changed to 'Final Decision'. Everyone else who got an interview seeing the same change on their UCAN?

Yep. They probably just changed everyone's to that after all the interviews were over.

Anyone know if there's a thread around by a UCalgary med student talking about the med life? Sort of like a "Calgary MD student here, Ask me anything" thread? Really interested to learn more about their program!

What did you want to know specifically?

I interviewed on the 1st (IP) and my status changed to Final Decision either that night or the next day.

Same here. I'm OOP if that makes a difference.

I'm OOP, interviewed on the 22nd, and mine says final decision.

 

It probably means nothing, just like pre-interview when some people had "at review" and others had "interview decision". Random.

From the blog post on January 6:

 

At Final Decision : Interview is complete. Those who interview will be at this status from the time the interview is over until final offers come out in May.

Edit: Read that wrong! Thanks for finding this. Looks like everyone will be at final decision soon.
