Entering Class Summer Meet Ups?

[damha]

I've heard that other schools have gatherings over the summer to acquaint the incoming class, especially for finding roommates and stuff. Does Ottawa do a similar thing where students who are admitted get to meet over the summer before classes start?

Patience, friend. There will be lots of time to sort all of this out once accepted. Right now, try your best to think about anything else (that's what I'm trying to do, as hard as it is haha).

Ugh, so much easier said than done lol so many unanswered questions!

Haha too true. But they will be answered soon! And then you can plan, set up meets, and rent apartments to your heart's content haha

We shall see about that! I don't know how you are able to handle yourself, I once thought I was a patient person but i've very quickly changed my mind on that haha

I think it's healthy to be really interested in meeting other people who have similar passions, but it will happen eventually. You're applying after 3 years and getting into a 7-9+ year commitment. Remember to relax and stop to look at the roses along the way. I find med students and premeds far to determined to make the most of every moment, looking behind every door, attempt to fulfill the request of every person who comes into their lives.... sometimes letting the moment make meaning for itself that makes you sane. If you get into the uOttawa 2019 class, awesome. If not, awesome, you'll be in the 2020 class. When the FB group starts up and you're getting into med all of your classmates will want to meet you too. 

For now, chill.  
Rant done
