I hope you are all doing well. It’s getting down to crunch time. Hopefully, most of you are at the point where you are ready to submit. If not, please consider spending this weekend working on getting your application to a place you are happy with.

Please scroll to the bottom of the page and you will see a Zoom link and password.
Please also note the following. The information given is specific to our admissions process, scoring, and views on certain areas. These may not translate to other schools across the country.
2. Transcripts
The office is working feverishly to catch up on these and enter them into the system.
A few clarifications. We are accepting e-transcripts only from schools that are not supplying hard copies due to the COVID pandemic. If an institution that you have attended is sending hard copy transcripts (we have compiled a list) the October 1st deadline outlined in the applicant manual applies.
If an institution you have attended is not sending hard copies of transcripts, we will accept an e-transcript, however we will still require a hard copy if and when it becomes available.
We have compiled a list of schools which are sending hard copies.
3. MMIs
We have taken the decision, as have many other medical schools, to do virtual interviews due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the uncertainty that continues to surround the course over the next 6-12 months. The virtual interviews will continue to be held on the dates published in the Applicant Manual-February 20/21 and March 6/7,
2021.
