thumpinJD Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Anyone know if they are going through the applicants in an alphabetical order? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippocampus Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 that's a possibility Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Organeer Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 There will actually be 30 interviews.... That's how many there were last year for 10 spots. My point stands...If you know the 30 who are invited why is valuable staff time being used to input 970+ rejections one by one throughout over a day's time of work?

NaturalKiller Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 mhh... I thought it was 30. It was 50 http://www.mcgill.ca/medadmissions/admissions/categories/cdn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippocampus Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 My guess is that McGill's Technology system is just so outdated that they have to do it manually? The other possibility is that they started reviewing and ranking applications this morning maybe that's why they tweeted that it would take a bit longer lol Je ne sais pas....

ephemeros Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 I wonder if the statuses are updated one by one in the system or if its done in batches.....it's been awhile since somone posted a rejection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thumpinJD Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 2 publications and no interview? What more does McGill want?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
future_doc Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Well then, they didn't like your autobio submissions. And rejected you because of this. At the end of the day, they select excellent candidates and that is all that really matters to them. That is why it is important to apply as broadly as possible.

hippocampus Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 I'm still hoping they send out invites tonight via email like they did late at night last year. They did this even before all rejections were sent out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
