DentalWiz Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 Surprised no one has started this but what were people's thoughts on the McGill Interview? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiftyshadesofMD Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 Kinda weird and fun ! In fact so weird that I can’t even say if I bombed it or I killed it lol overall, it was a fun experience, some stations, I wasn’t sure what they were evaluating, just tried to be myself and sound genuine ! Many acting stations, I didn’t get to come to a conclusive solution, given the time constraint and their love for talking over and over lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMislove Posted March 11, 2018 Report Share Posted March 11, 2018 It was fun! Some I felt like I did a good job at being myself and progressing the scenario, a few I was mediocre, and two that I feel like I just bombed lol (y’all know what I’m talking about). But overall a good experience, and just waiting for the next few weeks. Guess we should get onto getting our Titres checked eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Driillzz Posted March 11, 2018 Report Share Posted March 11, 2018 I felt that the MMi went very well when i first came out of there, but then afterwards, the more i started analyzing my responses, the more i kept thinking "i shoulve said that, could've added that, etc." so im not really sure anymore I think its really hard to tell if we did well or not bcz some sceanarios are very difficult to "solve" in 7 minutes lol That being said, i just cant wait for the acceptances to come out already cz i keep having these recurring dreams/nightmares of me getting in or not getting in xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMislove Posted March 11, 2018 Report Share Posted March 11, 2018 I thought you meant answers to MMI and was like what?? But then I knew you meant acceptances and what not xD. Yeah soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah soon. lool totally valid point, i edited my response to read "acceptances" instead of "answers" And wouldnt it be soo stressful if there were actual answers for the MMIs that applicants could access afterwards !? hahaha omgg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sa9o Posted March 13, 2018 Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 Yeah, I agree. I felt pretty good about it too, and I actually enjoyed it quite a bit. Prior to the MMI I was convinced I will never be able to get in character, interact with the actors, "act" but be myself at the same time, but somehow I did. You really go in survival mode and I think all the adrenaline helped me to push through it. That said, the more I go over my answers, the more I feel like one can interpret them in many ways, and I do not know what they were looking for. Therefore, I have made it my mission to stop thinking about it and try to distract myself. So far, I have not been able to do so :D:D:D:D:D At this point any news, good or bad, will be better than no news. I guess it is part of the experience so... LET'S DO THIS GUYS! IT IS ALMOST OVER!!

Readyforthis2018 Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 I applied to McGill's MDCM program this year and recently did the MMI as well. When do you find out for dent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats really interesting because thats not exactly what i heard lol Talking to applicants from previous years, they told me that the date that McGill tells us (in our case March 28th) is the exact same day the acceptances come out, not a day earlier or later. If I may ask, where did you hear they let them out sooner than the date posted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you had DMD students tell you that at the interview then I’d probably trust that more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So tops by that date, we should be expecting to hear from them, other than that, that is not the exact date, on which we’ll hear back. Just like what happened for the interview invites... On the paper they gave us, 26th and/or 28th are referred to as target dates... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I just interviewed for their dent. and on the paper it just said something along the lines of responses will be sent out on the 28th. I made sure to verify the wording and from i remember it did not say that was the target date. Do you still have that paper to check? Im still doubting bcz of all the people ive talked to who said they received it on the same day as the date mentioned. Anyhow, theres not much we can do about it anyway and only time will tell when we will hear back from them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SunAndMoon Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 I believe McGill Dent follows their target date consistently (not 100% sure), whereas Med is typically ahead of schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiftyshadesofMD Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 I’m banking on next week, though last year, they were out after 3 weeks from the interview dates.... and this coming Thursday would be 3 weeks... But again, nothing is for sure, it’s all my speculations that are sometimes so dumb lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The interview offers also came out a couple of days before the target date, hence the rationale for possibly hearing back a few days earlier. Also supposedly the MD/PhD acceptances are supposed to come out March 19th so people think the decisions would have been made by then anyway (I'm not certain though as I don't remember seeing it on the website, but have read it on the forum). All the best! We're all in the same boat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiftyshadesofMD Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 Just out of curiosity, do they call those who are accepted, or would they just send an email ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
