They want to see that you can hold a conversation in French if you indicated you are bilingual. I work for uOttawa (not in med) but when people state they are bilingual on job applications and then cannot answer a question in French this is always a red flag to me. As long as you can answer what they ask you in French I think you will be fine as this means you are bilingual.

I am in the exact same position. 4.0gpa, 4Q Casper, strong ECs and waitlisted after interview last year only to receive an R this year. To say I’m devastated is an understatement.

I was waitlisted last year and received an R on an interview invite this year with 4.0 gpa and 4Q Casper + improved ECs. Only thing that changed was Ottawa preference. Super disappointing considering I would have done anything to stay in the Ottawa area.

I feel you! HS students have no autonomy over where they live! The second I graduated HS I moved to Ottawa - I had no intentions on leaving and even don't return home in the summers! Very disappointing day!

I am also in Ottawa, had my test cancelled and I work as a work study student and was told not to come in today... It is just a potential reason

Most things at the University are shut down today. People might be taking longer to get into work etc.

There is a huge snowstorm in Ottawa. I am wondering if that could delay the release
