They may or may not use the reference letters when ranking applicants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might be interviewing everyone, but not necessarily. It's a black box what they are using but between MSPRs, personal letters, CVs, records of electives etc. they have lots of potential information they could use.

2019CaRMS Posted November 28, 2018 Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 Any idea if Calgary Gen Path sent out all their invites? I did a few weeks of electives there and was offered LORs by two of their staff and I haven't heard anything back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's just that they wait for LORs to come in after Nov 27 to review them before offering interviews to previous year grads. Hope it works out for you.

Had a month of pathology electives at UofC over the last year Based on experience, not all invites are sent at the same time. From what I understood, some favorite applicants get invited very early on and if they are members on this forum they will just post it and that might give the impression that all invitations are sent out already, but that is not necessarily true. I had an interview invitation weeks after someone posted here that he/she was invited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All IMGs are invited to only one interview for all Ontario Family Medicine programs. You don't really know which school invited you until later. If you are CMG, don't worry about it.

He ranked Western first as his wife had a job offer in the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlkhhylyiluh6 Posted December 6, 2018 Report Share Posted December 6, 2018 so why does it seem like literally every pathology program has sent invites when pretty much every other speciality hasnt sent any? lmao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overload Posted December 6, 2018 Report Share Posted December 6, 2018 Since 1st iteration is a parallel stream does it mean invitations are not sent at the same time for CMG’s and IMG’s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
