Queens Interview Invites/Regrets 2021
TheFlyGuy and 32 others reacted to poorpremed for a topic
I just want to wish everyone good luck!!! For those who get an interview, work your butt of to prepare!! For those who don't get to interview, continue to work your butt off to show the Canadian med school you are tough! For everyone, don't let responses from medical schools define you sense of self-worth! I know it is difficult not to attach your worth to your dream career, especially when you feel like you work harder than 99% of the people that get in. Just know you matter and a big part of he process is luck. Good luck everyone33 points -

Je pense qu'il serait important de comprendre par ses actions que cette personne est probablement super anxieuse et nerveuse ces temps-ci: même si ces détails sont peut-être futiles à tes yeux, ça ne sert à rien de répondre de manière aussi brutale... Au contraire, la rassurer gentiment et lui dire avec de l'humour que personne ici ne peut le savoir est plutôt la chose à faire selon moi (empathie ++)! Règle 101 pour gérer une personne nerveuse. Les conseils Casper sont peut-être utiles pour bien le réussir, mais les appliquer dans la vraie vie est important aussi si tu veux être méd.31 points

Meningocoele and 29 others reacted to medicallyricalmiracle for a topic
can't think of an opinion i disagree with more tbh. 1. Schools didn't exclude winter2020 grades for people that failed, they did it because it was an outlier. Many people thrived off of cancellations and empathetic professors and had their "first 4.0 semester". This high achievement is attributable to the pandemic and thus, is not a fair data point for peoples' performance. Thus, the most fair approach is to ignore it. 2. Please do not assume you have the competence or experience to occupy high-ranking academic positions in faculties of medicine that have been around longer than many30 points -

Since people found this funny, will update you on what I dreamed last night as it seems to be a continuation of that dream lol.... Dream: So its med acceptance day, but for a weird reason we didn't get emails but instead got letters mailed to us to tell us if we got accepted or not. With the letter is a rubric they used to score our interview. I read my letter and it say rejected but then I start looking at the rubric and realize someone didn't calculate the marks right as the math didn't make sense. Flash forward a bit and I am now at Ottawa talking to the dean about the mistake29 points

I just thought that amongst all this sadness for people who didn't get a spot I'd just share my story as I'm sure some of you can relate and others can hopefully draw some inspiration. Also I just need to vent. This was my 4th cycle, I've gotten in at schools in the US and Europe but I just really wanted to stay in Canada because this is my home. After not getting in post undergrad I did a master's program that has allowed me to obtain a role as a health care professional. I've got over two thousand hours of frontline healthcare experience.

Certes, le forum est très bien pour donner des conseils aux autres et s'entraider, mais je ne crois pas que certaines choses qui ont été dites soient pertinentes.

Ma préparation au CASPer
Infinity15 and 21 others reacted to Monocor for a topic
Mise en contexte : Les critères de mon année d'admission en médecine était ceux-ci : 50% CASPer / 50% Notes scolaires. La cote minimale universitaire était de 32,389, la cote moyenne 34,216 et ma cote était de 32,810. J'ai été placé sur la liste d'attente en 20-ish position, ce qui m'a valu une offre d'admission dans la première vague. Vu la faiblesse de ma cote, il est logique de croire que j'ai bien réussi le CASPer. Il est également à noter que c’était mon 3e CASPer. Préparation : J'ai commencé par lire l’information sur le site examencasper.com. La FAQ est pertinente, ainsi que la sec22 points -

Hey everyone. I just wanted to say that I have been in your position and I vividly remember the excruciating pain I went through the summer of 2018 being on Ottawa’s good waitlist. With it being the only waitlist I was on (I got rejected from UofC post interview) I felt the pressure. After all this hard work you have put in, you really need it to work out this time. Thinking of all the work you have to put in all over again this year if you’re not accepted is a daunting thought. I actually never made it off of Ottawa’s good waitlist (wGPA: 3.92).

It’s normal to feel stressed during these times. Don’t let others put you down, or question your character because of how you are feeling. But remember that even if things don’t work out this cycle, you will find a way in life. Tell yourself that. I am ready for a rejection.

Noroh has been very clear what she is asking and for what purpose, and people are voluntarily choosing to fund her over that amount. She is only in MS2, so my best guess is, if she gets extra, she will use it to pay her entire outstanding balance versus just the minimum deposit, and then will probably use it to help her with the next 2 years of tuition thereafter. Which is also very reasonable and in line with the intent of the people who are donating. I expect she is talking about her high tuition and her ineligibility to access Canadian financial resources because otherwise people out19 points

I felt disappointed and feel left out when I'd received my rejections, two of which post interview.
