Started a book club with a friend. Drowning in actual work (non-trad, researcher), having weird dreams induced by anxiety and gnawing my nails down. You?

Hi all, I hope everyone is handling the wait well, assuming you’ve completed your interviews! I know Ontario schools are set to release offers on May 11 this year. But I’m wondering if direct offers will be sent out by schools first or if OMSAS will update first? I’m just over here being obsessive and avoiding all the work that I actually need to be doing because I can’t stop thinking about my fate. Any insight is appreciated!

I said I wasn't going to obsess and visit the forums. But here I am... obsessing and visiting the forums. I had the opportunity to do the interview twice because my initial interview on March 6th was fraught with technical issues. I completed the interview yesterday morning and I feel the same as previous poster-- 6/8 went great. Two stern interviewers threw me off but I managed to ramble and do okay? I don't really know. I am absolutely overthinking and having lots of anxiety thinking about May 11. Good luck to you !!

Invites are out!!!! Timestamp: 7:27 am Interview: Yes OMSAS GPA: 3.38+0.2 MA boost = 3.58 (my biggest weakness) Context: born and raised in NWO. Population less than 2000. 3 years down east in Ottawa area, but came back to NWO 9 years ago. EC: Chief Research Officer for Indigenous-based organization, employment working in rural and remote Northern communities, 4 kids, employment tenure in adult learning+ lots of other stuff. # application cycles: This is my first. Interview details: March 6 @ 10. Definitely non-trad.

The wait makes my stomach hurt.

I also suspect a troll. I got that email this weekend. When I read message preview and realized it was from from NOSM admissions, my stomach jumped into my throat. :/ I am hoping Wednesday at the latest.

I’m interested too. I’m still waiting on interview invites, but I’ll reach out to tentatively practise!

Thank you for this. Damn. I didn’t want to wait the whole weekend, lol.

Anyone else hear anything?

Yes! How did you get it so early??? Nothing over here..which makes me very nervous.

Seems early in the day for the most part!

Me too!!! I’m not even ashamed to admit I went back in previous years’ threads to see when invites went out before.

How is everyone handling the wait? :/

I’m stressed/excited. The application acknowledgement said mid-end of January I think. But I’ve heard it could be anytime as previous poster said. Good luck fellow applicants!

Yes! They originally sent on October 21– but I suspect it went to my junk folder and I believe it automatically deletes after a certain amount of days. They promptly re-sent it to me for my records.
