I saw you said it “self-resolved” on its own after - what did you mean by this? Thanks! Just wanted to post an update in case anyone ends up in a similar position (green check on CaRMs then a rejection email). The program ended up giving me the interview!

kandinsky Posted December 21, 2019 Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 @gan3 did you receive an email from Queen's Ophtho? Or status update? Also can you clarify if you received it earlier today (Dec 21)? I just noticed your post is time-stamped for around midnight (EST). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BistroMongre Posted December 23, 2019 Report Share Posted December 23, 2019 So I applied to rads (across English canada) and family. Got 5 rads interviews and no family interviews. Seriously concerned about prospect of going unmatched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just have to hang in there and hopefully it works out in our favor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, does anybody know what to do with programs that have sent out positive Status Updates but no email? I would like to RSVP, but unsure what to do?

medmedmedpsych Posted December 23, 2019 Report Share Posted December 23, 2019 Hi everyone! I was just wondering if anyone who got an interview for Psychiatry at Dal would like to switch a date from what they have to January 24th. EMERGENCY!

btdubs Posted December 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2019 On 12/20/2019 at 11:58 AM, garlic said: Long story short: I did an elective at a program, got good feedback while I was there, but ended up waitlisted. Is it ok to email the program asking about the likelihood of getting an interview, or maybe even asking them to reconsider? Not sure what the protocol is for waitlists. It is a popular program and so I don't think there will be lots of people turning down invites... Ugh that's so tough. I've heard from people who did electives at a school (in one case even two!) with great feedback, and they got waitlsited/declined. So you're definitely not alone, and that's a particularly discouraging situation. I'd say it doesn't hurt to contact them and re-express your interest, the worst thing that happens is you stay in the same spot on the waitlist. Hope you get an invite as people may cancel!

OBgunner Posted December 24, 2019 Report Share Posted December 24, 2019 Anyone have any insight into Mac OBGYN? Has anyone been waitlisted? Or only acceptances and rejections? Among my friends, we are surprised by which of us got offers and which of us got rejections.. This was the most surprising school for us, so just wondering if this is widespread or not.

UBCMD2020CARMS Posted December 24, 2019 Report Share Posted December 24, 2019 I know that other smaller specialties typically have a FB group in case people want to link up on down days(when that privilege exists!), for a meal or touristy thing, but would people be interested in one for Family Medicine? Such a large tour, and definitely not a lot of overlap, but i'd be happy to make one. 10 likes and i'll make one and leave a link here after.

I remember reading that applicants match to one of their top 3 choices ~87% of the time I believe. I would be a little scared too, but statistically speaking you should be fine! It’s always more difficult to speak/think objectively when you’re emotionally invested. Keep your head up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
