drake19 Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Does McGill usually only offer interview invites to those that did electives in Quebec/McGill? So far received 9 interviews (Neurology and Family) including Sherbrooke (even though I never did any elective in Quebec) didn't get one from McGilll..

sultanator Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 You're not the only one. Not sure if they send invites to their own students first, or email in waves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hkmedic Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 Interview offers are sent out in waves based on experiences last year. I don't know how they decide who gets interviews first because from my med school class, some of my classmates received interviews earlier in the week, whereas I heard later. And no, you do not have to do an elective there to get an interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skiordie Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 So, assuming that this year is similar to last year in that invites are sent out in waves, is the assumption that if we haven't heard from McGill by the end of the week then we should assume rejection?

I think the rest of the Cdn med schools haven't received anything yet . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carms2015 Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 Just got a McGill Invite, USMG here. nvm also got a US-MG invite to McGill - hope these invites are not sloppy seconds since so many people received invites last week....my understanding is that some programs pre-rank you before your interview....so getting an invite this late hopefully will not mean they ranked us at the lower end.;...if I'm ranked at the lower end traveling all the way to Montreal will be a huge waste of time...plus they will keep us the entire day....sincerely some of the rants that are inside my head right now.

nwhyte3 Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 I doubt it, it sounds like they do waves. Considering that all of the dates were still available I doubt that this had anything to do with ranking. It makes sense that they would offer to Quebec students first. From what I've heard its hard to prerank in family med since they invite like 500 people to interview, they will give us a score for both the application and then interview and then just rank us based on total score.
