okay so you obviously nailed CASPer... which implies that, if button = offer, CASPer must be weighted somewhat significantly

Good inference, I would think CASPer was weighed heavily too. I've 3.8 129 but no Ottawa interview so my CASPer must've been good but not that good. Not sure why I've the button then

Hey don't lose hope yet. IF this even means anything, you still have two schools to look out for.

this is confusing to me because my stats are 3.78/129 so i obviously did very well on CASPer too, but i don't see the button.

idk man i'm tired, wish i could fall asleep and wake up on may 12th at noon

Yeah same I have low GPA/130 and I'm sure my CASPer must have been good for me to get an interview and I don't have the button. I was not on the interview waitlist either... And weighing the CASPer most makes sense based on previously published data and stuff.

If you HAVE the button, and are attending McMaster now, has anything changed on your Mosaic?

I have button, no changed on moasic, same green circle (pending)

Lol in the super slim chance that this actually correlates to a Mac offer, we can use stats of the people who have/don't have the button to deduce Mac's selection formula since Mac is still not telling us.  jk jk, this really could mean absolutely nothing. just five more days of waiting!

I wonder if we can find stats from some queen interviewers. 

Some queens people already know they are rejected since they did not get a video panel interview. 

If someone was rejected from queens but has a mac button.. would this mean button means offer? 

my logic might be off since stress lol so maybe someone can think this through for me.

Look at the Poll, someone posted that they HAVE the button but didn't interview at mac. Can that person say where they interviewed?

[TheFlyGuy]

Someone has ticked the  "I do have the button and did NOT interview at Mac" option on the poll. I'm not sure we know anything anymore hahaha, either that or other schools' data is starting to come up too? Or someone is messing with us/misunderstood lmao; impossible to know anything with this

They could be a random person that clicked it to troll

I'm hoping that person is MD-PhD :/

Nothing scientific about that poll, then. I think the only thing we know at this point is that the stress is getting to all of us as May 12th approaches lol.

Or international student at UofT

[DanKeith]

Also based on the number on the poll as of this point there are 10 people that interviewed at mac and have the button whereas only 4 people interviewed at mac but do not have the button. This ratio sounds off to me if we suspect it to be offers. Maybe the button includes waitlist too?

I’m not an Ontario applicant but stressing over a button won’t do any good to any of you. 

Getting an offer/reject shouldn’t be viewed as a fatality. We spend so much time thinking about the future and we forget about now. You are alive now, you are in good health, you have a family, a roof over your heads, food...Learn to appreciate what you have now.

If you get a reject, take it as a good opportunity to strengthen and prepare your spirit, as failures are quite normal in life.

All the best to all of you

Bruh, the poll says 2x more mac interviewees have the button than not, wouldn't it be more likely that no button = accept offer, since there are less invites than regrets/waitlist? Anyway, this probably means nothing I'm gunna eat my breakie now

Someone correct me if I am wrong but schools only send offers to OMSAS, so omsas doesn't consider waitlist/rejections. If you get off the waitlist you get an offer sent to you on omsas after you accept it via email/over the phone.

This is my understanding as well

I would assume thats just a sampling bias

Don't think this has to do with waitlists Dan, if you press the button it says "All offer responses reset."

Ooh, so the button probably does mean you got an offer maybe?

I can say with decent certainty that button = mac offer

- All those with buttons interviewed at Mac

- All those that did not have the button did not interview at Mac

- MD/PhD student with offer with button

- Clicking the button says "All offer responses reset."

- The general language of the button
