I didn’t get an interview at Ottawa and Calgary (but did at Mac, Toronto, Western, Queens, and Alberta). So now I’m wondering if my application might not be as strong as I hoped.

Don't think that way. Ottawa doesn't interview many people who rotated there. In fact, last year, there were many unfilled spots after the first round. Me and a friend of mine who applied there in fam med didn't get an interview neither Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cindylouwho Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 Also got rejected from Ottawa Family Med with what I thought was a strong application and even an elective there (non-FM but clearly applicable specialty)...definitely stings. Nothing to do about it now except make the most of the interviews you do have! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anon416 Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 Also rejected from Ottawa even having done a FM elective there Does anyone have an idea of how many interviews they send out each year? Feeling a bit bitter about this one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mononoke Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 Same, I did an elective there too. Do they give preference to their own students for interviews? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birdy Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 Some of the rejections don’t make much sense to me. I have a classmate who is from an underserved area, plans to return there, said so in their letter, is applying only to family, and was rejected by his home region’s school. I was rejected by that school as well despite what I feel is a fairly strong family application (received interviews everywhere else I applied.) It is what it is. I have only five interviews myself as I restricted my applications geographically. We’ve got to work with what we’ve got. In the end, family med is still a pretty good bet especially if it’s your first choice and you’ve demonstrated interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno. I got an interview at Ottawa and haven’t done a family med elective there (did OB/Gyn) but I did used to live in Ottawa and mentioned so in my PS. Maybe they were looking for connections to the area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a surprising result. I'm sorry you didn't get the Ottawa interview. Perhaps you will receive an invite later...McGill fmed invited me a full week after the program first appeared in the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 If one doesn't hear from UAlberta FM re: interview invite or decline, is that assumed decline? Or historically have they kept a waitlist or released in batches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes the selection team just weird decisions - happens to a lot of people (myself included I feel). Don't let any particular school's rejection throw things out of alignment for yourself!

Not sure if anything has changed recently but in late 2014 when I did my CaRMS application I got an interview at Ottawa family med. Never did an elective there.

I am from outside Ontario and did not complete an elective here (FM or otherwise). I'm really happy to have gotten one, but I know multiple great candidates who also did not receive one. In the invitation email, it does state that there are many applicants on their waiting list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
