Hello,

 

After spending a little more time on the phone today, I gathered the following tidbits of information from the following schools:

 

Calgary: as posted on their site, the interview requests will be sent out near the end of February. The rejections are apparently sent out first, and just after the rejections go, one person in the office actually calls the interviewees to schedule the interview dates. (They state that they do this in order to make sure that all interviewees' travel plans are accommodated.) After the calls, the paper invitations are sent. They received just over 1200 applications for this year's spots. 15 of this year's 100 medical school seats will be reserved for out of province applicants. Around 240 students (or slightly more) will be interviewed, and around 15% of these will be out of province candidates.

 

Manitoba: they have already begun to send out interview invitations. 150-200 people total will be invited for interviews this year, and the invitations will be sent out prior to the rejection letters. They received a total of 570 applications this year.

 

Memorial: the first set of interviews began today and as such, the office was completely up to the eyes, so they didn't have much time to say much else.

 

Good luck.
