HeHeBunny Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 We are about 1 week away from d-day.What will you do when the email arrives? Do you wait to be with family or friends? Or is this something you need to do by yourself? Have any questions or comments?This is the thread to discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeHeBunny Posted April 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 I personally plan on leaving work during my lunch break, get in my car for some privacy, blast 'Survivor - Eye of the Tiger' and open up that email on the first chorus...

nick Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 All-morning seclusion as much as possible, read some poetry if I can concentrate and watch TV otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lacigolonummI Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 As the day draws nearer I feel less optimistic. I felt great walking out of my MMI, but now I doubt my performance. I will be alone and hope that they send them out early rather than waiting until the afternoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borborygmi Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 I'll probably be checking hourly throughout the course of my work day. Surprisingly (or perhaps not), I've been losing a decent amount of sleep over the last few days with the impending April 20th notification getting ever closer. I'm sure others are feeling similarly... Also, echoing lacigolonumml with feeling less positive the further away from MMI day we go... much more on the negative side these last couple of weeks.

kevojy Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 Well I'll be studying for my last final exam... It's a good thing and a bad thing. Good because the exams are taking my mind off it. Bad, because it's also taking my mind off exams! Time to just take a deep breath and see what happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mab1989 Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 I didn't even get an email that they were releasing early, so it's a sign that I've already been rejected lol. I'm probably just gonna check my email as usual when I'm at work. If I don't get in, I'll just have to crack open my books again and sign up for the MCAT ????

Fluoxetine Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 @mab1989 Did you also interview @ UofA? Maybe they crossed check their lists and only sent out 1 copy of the joint e-mail to people interviewed at both schools. On topic, I'll be home, reading, playing the piano until I get my e-mail.

I got both. Having said that, I don't think it means anything mab. If anything you could think, they didn't bother sending you because the notice is for people who need to rewrite the MCAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still got an invite. Don't worry about it their system just doesn't always work I guess! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acacna Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 I am 99% sure I will be rejected. Yet the 1% of hope is making me so anxious ahaha. How do you make a long week go by fast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tacrolimus Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 I am 99% sure I will be rejected. Yet the 1% of hope is making me so anxious ahaha. How do you make a long week go by fast? Same. I have accepted the rejection, but deep down, there's that tiny glimmer of hope. I just have a hard time grasping the idea that I can be in the Top 200. I know some brilliant people, and things they have achieved (academically and non-academically), and feel like I am no where close to that. I have a final exam that day in the afternoon, so I will be disabling notifications on the gmail app. Write my final and then check in isolation. Then, I'll let my close friends and family (they think it's May 14th, haha) know...regardless of the outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MT_93 Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 I'm probably going to isolate myself as well, and just hope for the best. If i don't get in i'll sit with my failure/accomplishment of making it thus far in terms of interview and stuff, and just reflect. I can't be mad, only grateful and happy for the opportunity. ..but....if i do get an acceptance... In one moment, my whole life will change, I don't know when the moment will be, but i really do hope its one week from today. I have such mixed emotions, sometimes i feel like I'm setting myself up for disappointment, and other times for reality. Good luck to all of you, we all made it to the interviews because we all deserve a spot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photato Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 I'm going to try to work from home that day so I don't have to deal with coworkers. I might try to stay up super late and work Sunday night so that I can sleep through most of Monday. Or I will just binge watch something on Netflix and not do any work at all.

pneumophiliac Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 Does anyone else feel that they'd release the emails on Friday instead? From my past experience with a few rejection emails, I'd personally prefer Friday so I have the weekend to celebrate or cry and reflect. Monday would affect my whole week.
