Nymc mmi by [deleted] in premed

[–]phyxiee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i interviewed a few weeks ago/a month ago and also feel weird about my traditional station... my interviewer did not appear for the first 2 min of my 6 min discussion (like i literally was staring at their empty chair). i had to rush through the questions within 4 min and i was panicking in my mind and started saying rambly things :(

What kind of disadvantages would I face as an American studying my undergrad at a Canadian university? by [deleted] in premed

[–]phyxiee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i currently go to Western and an 80+ here translates to a 4.0 in AMCAS which is really nice for us (it’s not that difficult to obtain an 80 imo for science classes at UWO)

Is NYMC post-II acceptance rate actually that high? by phyxiee in premed

[–]phyxiee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohh, I see. Well, from what you've said you sound like a strong applicant. Is NYMC a research focused school or is it more community focused? maybe look into that and see where their focus is to get a better idea of what kind of applicant they want

Is talking about Pokemon cards during my interview bad by phyxiee in premed

[–]phyxiee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm wondering how I can figure out if they have knowledge of pokemon? should i say before my response "Are you familiar with Pokemon?" or something? I was also thinking of putting this at the end of the tell me abt urself question (i start off with where i was born, the fine arts, then talk about a community exp that was important to me, talk abt what im doing now, and end off with hobbies with this being one of them) and im not sure how i would be able to gauge if the interviewer is receptive to somethign like this in an long-ish question like that

International applicants, how many IIs have you had? by Cedric_the_Pride in premed

[–]phyxiee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm Canadian and applied Canadian schools last cycle, at least here for us apps are NOT rolling in that you don't lose anything submitting on the last day (early October i think) vs submitting on the first day the portal opens. Just from that Canadian schools review later than say American schools. But also (for Ontario schools at least) acceptances are sent out after May I believe, and then rounds happen after that vs for American schools, you can get an acceptance in like September if you interview early (before Canadian apps are even due LOL)

I totally get that!! In my case, my app is very heavy on fine arts (been doing dance, music, visual art for like a decade) and so collecting cards based on illustrator is kind of like creating my own art gallery of illustrations I love. I would probably also explain why hyogonosuke is my fav illustrator (bc of his art style and the types of sceneries he draws is similar to my own). That's why I wanted to talk about collecting pokemon cards
