OVC has a reputation for having their admission statistics increase every year, but Fall 2019 entry was an exceptional increase, even for the Canadian student cohort! There are chances this may be an outlier and the admission averages for Fall 2020 may be better than last year! It just depends on the applicant pool for that year.
Thank you!
They sent emails to both the email address used for VMCAS and the Guelph email
Hey, I think the ID number can be found in the email that was sent earlier in November on the University of Guelph email called "How to use WebAdvisor." So it isn't the VMCAS ID, I think we are assigned an individual ID number from Guelph.
Hey, I don't think so since OVC admissions did not request them, and I think in order to apply you have to have all the required courses finished. However, I am not a hundred percent sure, so if you want you can also call or email them too.
There will be 7 scenario stations and 2 BIF stations this year! I believe it’s 1 bif station with 2 vets and the other with 2 students but I could be wrong.
I did the interview in the undergraduate cohort last year but I believe it is the same in both. No math or data questions and no acting stations either! Also, apparently this year there may be 2 personal work experience stations instead of 1.
On the interview summary page for Guelph this is what people were saying: "The webpage that discusses the interview process does NOT mention that international students are interviewed differently. I thought it would be MMI, but it consisted of more general questions about my experiences and myself." (this is the link- University of Guelph Ontario Veterinary College Interview Feedback) This could be old though, which is why I was confused
Thank you so much! I would have be so unprepared haha
The questions were ethical or behavioural. In all honesty I did not prepare well enough. I would say the best thing to do is to practice as much as possible in a situation you can make as realistic as possible (be timed, do a few in a row, ask people to help you and give you honest feedback). I have done a couple MMIs, what makes guelph's more difficult is that interviewers don't really converse with you, you feel like you are talking to a wall for 8 minutes until you announce you are done because they are told not to give any sort of feedback during, verbal or otherwise. A lot of people read the Rollins books, I'm not entirely convinced this is enough to be prepared. There are courses that are helpful for some people, but if you can find just mock MMIs somewhere where they will give you feedback after a realistic practice MMI this is my suggestion. Guelph was my first one and I've done a few this application cycle since and I think understanding how the process works and having had just a few practices will make a world of difference if I am lucky enough to get an interview again this year.
They do but only if you announce that you are finished with your thought and end with "this is how I would approach this situation". And then they read a script of questions so sometimes you've already answered the question and so you just have to be like "as I mentioned previously" and repeat your answer which I find awkward. All in all its just way less natural than other interviews or even MMIs I've done so be prepared that you may not really build a rapport with the interviewers
Congratulations!
I haven't heard anything as of yet, was hoping maybe someone else has heard something. I thought they said we were supposed to hear from them today?
