super valid fear and I bet you could find my posts from last year with the same concerns! but I found that referees did not share the same sense of urgency lol and they were not bothered by my professional emails every few days that last week asking them to please confirm if they had submitted and to let me know if there was anything else I could provide.... haha. just to give you some reassurance!

when's it due? the 31st? I def had letters come in the day before last year. don't be afraid to send repeated emails in the last week before the deadline

I did Mac Med from a nontrad background with absolutely no science and only took the CARS section of the MCAT, made it through, it was a lot of work tho.

as someone who has lived in toronto with many friends in toronto, they don't buy houses. There are a couple scenarios: 1) parents give them money for down payment 2) move out of the city to Hamilton, Kitchener, etc etc for affordable real estate, which still is expensive 3) rent and STILL pay 50% or more of income to rent if trying to live alone...many of my non med school friends are still living with roommates paying 800-1000$ a month for a room in an apartment. 4) least likely is make own money by being in one of those very high income jobs and buy a house in to

Pretty sure they have thirty days!! I would give them a week or two

Does anyone know when the stats will be released about each school's match?

I’m jealous that all of you are off!! I only get released from clinical duties AT noon haha.

yeah i wanna thank all of you for being really encouraging and supportive throughout this. sometimes the forums get a bad rap for being negative but like, this has helped me keep my sanity. hoping for the best for everyone and hope i run into yall later

I've been told I'll hear by 2:30 if unmatched....stress is real now

this is so lovely thank you <3 it's hard not to get stressed by it but this is important to remember!

I'm definitely at 'I just wanna match, please' hahaha. I'm so terrified of not matching.

I wish they would just send the results out, this stress is destructive haha.

anyone else have the irrational fear that they somehow fucked up submitting their rank list bc they can't see it on carms, despite knowing that they submitted it weeks early and also checked a million times

wow that's so ridiculous that they won't tell you!

honestly once i get to 4:30pm tomorrow and am sure i matched, so much stress will be gone. if i match haha. of course i'm sure i'll still be worried there was some mistake and i didn't actually match.
