This thread has me feeling super down. Amazing what a few lines of code can do to my whole sense of self-worth! Same freaking boat. Like 3.96 and 130... really thought I had a good chance here but now its looking less likely. Furosemide 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, people who have either a reject or acceptance can possibly have the "reset" button. Why have the "submit response" button if I got flat out rejected. Eventually we all might have it and just takes time for omsas to load it up. Who knows. Def a neurotic way to start a Thursday though. Cheers everyone last year i got rejected essentially and still had the "submit responses" box - i think its for withdrawing your choice at a particular school Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are also people with less competitive stats who did get The Button. How can 1 formula (assuming Mac is only inputting CARS + GPA + CASPer) lead to both these conditions so many times? edit: I also wanna call it a glitch cuz I mean I'm gonna be real sad if this is legit later on lmfao.

I guess it could either be a glitch, or it could apply to all schools that you applied to. For example, I had 3 invites, and it is possible that some of the offers for schools other than Mac have already been sent to OMSAS and updated. Thus, me having the button may not mean I got an offer at Mac. It would probably only make sense if somebody only applied to Mac and got the button. Also mac hasn't release their selection criteria yet, so it is possible that CASPer is not weighted as heavily, or they did the unexpected and scored the full file review. Either way, it is probably best not to read too much into it, and at the very least, it might make for an interesting story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ninety percent of interview positions will be given to those who qualify as (1) Province of Ontario Resident, and 10% to those who qualify as (2) Outside Ontario . Essentially, you have to ace CASPer to get ab intetview as OOP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only interviewed at Mac so me not having the button means I didn't get an offer LOL. But combined with the formula thing I've mentioned above, it doesn't make sense to me. For example, CASPer being weighted less would lead to people with lower stats not being offered an acceptance, right? Yet there are some people like that who HAVE the button. And yeah, full file review is a possibility but omg that would be SOOO controversial... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neuroresearch Posted May 7, 2020 Report Share Posted May 7, 2020 3 minutes ago, pureblue said: Only pre-interview, no distinction post-interview. So if they used GPA/CASPER/CARS, it seems like pretty much every OOP that was supposed to interview should have received an offer based on how strong their stats would have to be to receive the interview in the first place? Wow that’s super strange then. Cause no button, but pretty good stats (Well who knows about CASPer, but I thought it was fine) and OOP. Oof. May have to not look at the forums for the next 5 days haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takasugi Posted May 7, 2020 Report Share Posted May 7, 2020 Interviewed at Mac, Toronto, Ottawa and Western. 3.97ish cGPA 130 CARS Interviewed at Ottawa as well so I probably have a decent Casper No button. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psych Posted May 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2020 2 hours ago, penguin1234 said: No button, interviewed at Mac, Ottawa, and Queen's. Honestly by looking at everyone's stats so far, I have no clue what formula Mac is using if button = offer. o.O My stats: 4.0 GPA, 129 CARS, and probably not a terrible CASPer because I interviewed at Ottawa. I have the exact same stats as you! Same three interviews, no button, 4.0 GPA and 129 CARS. This has given me so much anxiety, it's not looking good for those without a button and I'm really sad now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFlyGuy Posted May 7, 2020 Report Share Posted May 7, 2020 16 minutes ago, inkbat said: it seems like a number of people have mistakenly thought that the button in the red box is the one we're talking about, so i wouldn't be surprised if it were innocent mistakes That’s a good point too; looks like I’m prob wrong, especially with the more balanced ratio between buttons and no buttons. Even if it’s true there’s still hope with the wait list for folks without the button and only Mac to bank on, so I hope things work out regardless of ppl’s button status Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
