Oh wow, does this mean that programs know in advance of even April 19??

Yea, I find today especially hard for no idea what reason. Prank Encounters show on Netflix is very entertaining and distracting.

I totally don’t remember my dream last night, but I woke up today with a feeling of intense dread. Aiyaaaaa, the anxiety is building =_=!!

After you improve your GPA, you should also apply to UofA and Calgary because you'd likely qualify as IP since you've probably spent 24 consecutive months living in Alberta after age of 15.

Blahh, I feel the same! This last week is unbearable. I do really appreciate all your positivity @bellejolie! Keeping me sane lol!!!

Me and Persephone are both oldies ! I didn't start medical school until 28! At 25 years old, I also had no idea what I was doing. I decided to backpack around, slept in hostels and train stations. It was fun No regrets!

Sorry to hear that you're feeling depressed and that you are surrounded by unsupportive family members. That's really, really difficult. I know what I will be suggesting is going to be hard to do, but my best advice to you is to not worry about what others are saying and do what you want to do. In life, you'll always encounter people who think you can't do something, who look down on you, who sabatoge you. Screw those people. If medicine is what you want to do, go for it. It's not an easy journey and it will require you to endure lots of hardship. Only you can decide whether or

I also recommend doing your degree in another province to gain IP status. It will greatly improve your chances for med school admissions.

Same here. Waiting for interviews was agonizing.

Yes, the uncertainty really really sucks. I’m trying to mentally prepare myself for the worst but hoping for the best. Sending hugs your way!!! 10 days more!!

Do you know if our preceptors will get a notification if we do request through CaRMs to see our letters?

Had my last clinical shift of med school today. feeling surreal.

I think your stats are stellar. What you needed was probably some luck.

I think it’s a good idea to get an idea of how physicians work so you can see if it’s the right career for you. Not sure if it’s something you want to put on your on your resume though. Make sure to clarify with the physician about any ethical, liability, and patient confidentiality concerns.
