What are competitive specialities? Would you be able to rank all of them in terms of competitiveness? In addition, how do we find out what cores are needed before electives in specific specialties? Like someone mentioned that cardiac surgery will want internal medicine and general surgery?

McMaster Med Student AMA
penguin1234 replied to metahypothesis's topic in McMaster University Medical School
Hello! Thank you so much for doing this How do students at McMaster go about deciding on a specialty? I have heard that people need to figure this out earlier on because of the 3-year program... What are some good resources to learn more about the different specialties early on? -

Result: Accepted (Hamilton) Timestamp: 8:08 AM cGPA: 4.00 CARS: 129 CASPer: Ottawa interview so it was probably decent although I definitely did not prepare. Year: 3rd year UG Geography: IP Button: No Will be accepting! Please stop trying to rain on other people's parade... Regardless of what you think about Mac, there are people who have their reasons for wanting to attend there or only received an offer from Mac. I feel like this is not the time to be like "rip you guys because everyone will look down on you in the future and you'll end up not m

Got an offer to McMaster! I did not have the button previously but I do have it now! (only shows on OMSAS, does not show on Mosaic right now but I'm hoping it's real and will just update eventually) -

Do we think that the buttons are legit? And that the earlier posts about how people saw a button in past years despite being waitlisted/rejected are false? -

At this point, I'm just hoping that I wasn't put into the rejection pile :'(. I actually really would like to go to McMaster since I am from near Hamilton T_T I am feeling a little sad and anxious... I'm honestly not sure how good my luck is ahhhh -

If they got so many other interviews, I'm sure their ABS and LORs are good or definitely aren't bad. -

I think it's okay if we don't know what any of this means right now (in terms of button or the mac selection formula). We will find out in a few days and then we can see if any of our speculations are actually correct! -

I honestly think it's too early to feel sad because you don't have the button! 1) we don't really know what the button means 2) even if button means offer, it still might appear later on (i.e. on the 12th when we're supposed to find out the results) 3) even if you didn't receive an offer, there are still many people who get in from the waitlist! Especially if you're one of those applicants who have good stats but don't see a button right now There's still hope even if you don't have the button -

I kind of think it might also show up eventually... Seems weird for only McMaster to have uploaded their offers? I would think most schools are done by now? -

No button, interviewed at Mac, Ottawa, and Queen's. Honestly by looking at everyone's stats so far, I have no clue what formula Mac is using if button = offer. o.O My stats: 4.0 GPA, 129 CARS, and probably not a terrible CASPer because I interviewed at Ottawa.
