premed0719371 Posted April 22, 2020 Report Share Posted April 22, 2020 Hey everyone! I know there's still some time before we hear back but I'm going crazy with the wait and figured others are too, so I thought I'd start this thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffeeandmed Posted April 22, 2020 Report Share Posted April 22, 2020 Thanks for starting the thread! I keep thinking of the year where the decisions were sent out incredibly early and I have this little sliver of hope even though it 100% will not be this year lol Decision day cannot come fast enough! premed0719371 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruh Posted April 22, 2020 Report Share Posted April 22, 2020 Here’s a little neurotic premed research by yours truly. UofA Decision dates for the past 8 years: 2019 - May 13 2018 - April 23 2017 - May 4 2016 - May 5 2015 - May 4 2014 - May 15 2013 - May 15 2012 - May 15 I would have guessed May 4-5th for this year as well but who knows, with COVID-19 making things unpredictable. Have they notified applicants in the past of the expected release date of decisions?

Broken man Posted April 23, 2020 Report Share Posted April 23, 2020 Any thoughts on how the interview will be weighted compared to previous years? ballsortahard 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both in 2018 and 2019 they didn't really give any notice. In fact, the results were available on the admissions portal before the email was even sent out saying that decisions had been made (maybe by an hour or two).

Probably a dumb question, but was this on Bear Tracks or the Secondary Med Application? I have no idea where I should be (obsessively) checking...

premed0719371 Posted April 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2020 In 2018, they posted a notice on the secondary med page saying that the decisions would be completed that week and they were sent out that week too! coffeeandmed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, do you know why/how the admissions were released so early that year? Thank you for the info!! I will now start obsessively checking the secondary med page for any updates.

Animo Posted April 23, 2020 Report Share Posted April 23, 2020 @coffeeandmed Oh right - forgot that they posted that update! I don't think we know why they came out so early that year - at least I don't recall hearing anything in particular. For what it's worth, both UofA and UofC were early that year (UofC was April 20th that year but May 7th last year). coffeeandmed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So just for the record, you don't get an email saying "you got in!" but instead you get an email which says "check the admissions portal" without saying the result?

That's correct. It just says that a decision has been made and they direct you to the Secondary Medicine Application for results. You have to go to the "Documents" section to see the decision letter. That's how it's gone the last two years, so I suppose that's probably going to be the same again Marf1225 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

premed0719371 Posted April 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2020 has anybody emailed them to ask when decisions will be released? i emailed them a while ago to ask if we can expect a delay due to covid19 and they said no Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theevilsloth Posted April 30, 2020 Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 Does anyone have thoughts as to how many total OOP acceptances are given, including offers rejected? I would imagine OOP WL moves relatively more than the IP WL, but does anyone know if the actual stats are available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It provides a fairly comprehensive overview of the schools admissions numbers which might help https://afmc.ca/sites/default/files/pdf/2020_admission-requirements_EN.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theevilsloth Posted April 30, 2020 Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 It looks like 220 acceptances for 162 spots, so 58WL movement total last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theevilsloth Posted April 30, 2020 Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 If my algebra is correct, last year there were 163 acceptances given out to IP and 57 given to OOP. There were 76 OOP interviews, so there was a 75% chance of getting accepted OOP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theevilsloth Posted April 30, 2020 Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 10 minutes ago, YesIcan55 said: Therefore, there could be either 1 male, 8 females OOP (9 total OOP/162 total students = 5.5% OOP) or 2 males, 16 females OOP (18 total OOP/162 students = 11.1% OOP). It is not possible that there were 3 males, 24 females OOP since that would mean there are 27 total OOP/162 total students = 16.7% OOP which would exceed the 15% OOP cap. This is a 1:7 ratio, not a 1:8 ratio. We know that 12.5% of the class is male and 87.5% of the class is female. This corresponds to 3/24 male (12.5%), and 21/24 female (87.5%). From the AFMC we know total number of applicants = 1584, total number of offers (accepted, declined, deffered) = 220, and we know the success rate by IP/OOP/Total. Using this, you can figure out that the total number of offers given IP was 163, and the total number of offers given OOP was 57. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theevilsloth Posted April 30, 2020 Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 Just now, YesIcan55 said: lol no....1/8 = 12.5%. Second of all, 3 males and 24 females is not possible since that is 27 total OOP/162 students = 16.7% OOP, and the absolute max is 15% OOP. Therefore, it must be 2 males, and 16 females OOP = 18 total OOP / 162 total students = 11.1% of the last class was OOP. The website says that for the class of 2023, 87.5% of the OOP class was female and 12.5% of the OOP class was male. # Male OOP in the class = (0.125)(24) = 3 # Female OOP in the class = (0.875)(24) =21 3:21 is a 1:7 ratio. We know that 85% of the class is for IP acceptances, so a max of 15% is for OOP acceptances. 15% of 162 is 24.3, so 24 spots for OOP would fall just under the 15% threshold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
