rmorelan Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 Yes, May the 8th. Well, they're are a few days late most years but it should be today. I didn't get any interviews so I won't be posting anything. Meh...maybe next year. medical school invites for all of Ontario are out tomorrow Same day for all schools. Usually a Tuesday (edit, ha!) for some reason. Not sure what the logic of that particular day is - although a Friday would not be a good choice (we have had technical glitches which have delayed things - you want there to be some room left in the week just in case).
