rmorelan Posted November 25, 2019 Report Share Posted November 25, 2019 Ok now with more pinning than ever before. Go nuts and discuss all things CARMS (ha and stay out of the other thread with comments etc). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarsRover Posted November 26, 2019 Report Share Posted November 26, 2019 I was under the impression that CaRMS now has the interview feature on their website that tells you if you are offered an interview, declined, or waitlisted. Doesn't this sort of negate the need to track when invites etc are coming out? Unlike previous years where you may not know invites went out but you didn't get one.

Doesn't mean schools can't just defer "declining" you until a later date, i.e. after interviews are completed. It may be in some schools best interests to do a silent rejection, or silent waitlist, and offer an interview at a later date if too many of their preferred interview candidates decline them. Hence the value of this thread for those currently undergoing CaRMS MarsRover 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence the value of this thread for those currently undergoing CaRMS plus schools are notorious for not updating anything for the negative cases. Leaving you hanging ha - I mean in the past they could have just told everyone at the same time - yes/no. They never seem to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btdubs Posted November 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2019 I heard from a classmate that we get hotel discounts through CFMS. Anyone know more about this and how to access it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just make sure you get a good place either way - including having some of the extras a hotel might now to help business travellers (like an iron for instance - it's always the little things). Nothing worse than saving 40 dollars and ending up getting a crappy nights sleep etc. and blowing the interview ha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btdubs Posted November 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 I’ve heard some rumours about rads, apparently a lot of applicants from the West this year? I have no evidence for that though other than hearsay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My hope is that it will balance out. There seems to be a lot of interest from my school (6ish people) and I heard that a Western Canadian program has a group of like 10 interested people, but in talking with other students there are also schools with no one pursuing rads. My hope is that it’ll even out to be an average year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medstudent323 Posted November 29, 2019 Report Share Posted November 29, 2019 Have any IMGs received an Ontario FM interview yet? Just curious because I noticed that last year they were sent out Nov 28th! FamVan2020 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern light Posted December 1, 2019 Report Share Posted December 1, 2019 Somebody mentioned that Ontario has sent invitations for family medicine, IMG. I haven't received neither rejection nor invitation. Does this mean something good or bad?!! Last year I got rejection email. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medstudent323 Posted December 1, 2019 Report Share Posted December 1, 2019 I think it could mean you are waitlisted, because we have until Dec 7th to RSVP to the interview! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
