It makes 0 sense. Makes me think it’s a man in a room getting a kick out of it Probably because the site would crash with everyone trying to look at their scores at the same time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly would be nice though. Another idea would be to just send them all out over night or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes 0 sense. Makes me think it’s a man in a room getting a kick out of it Seeing as how their website was not loading for people who received regrets when they first came out (i.e. too high traffic = slow/crashed servers), it makes sense that they'd want to stagger the release of regrets. That being said, during the 1:30 pm wave, a ton of people posted regrets — all around the same time — before radio-silence ensuing for the past two hours or so. The website has long since recovered from the additional traffic, so maybe it's an incorrectly balanced system that sends everything out in waves? Not sure why things are in waves anyways. Might as well just send everything out in one continuous stream of ten emails every 2 minutes or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VancityDoc Posted December 10, 2019 Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 Here we go LOL Well I got an interview last year, and was rejected with average interview score and with a TFR score of 57.77 well above cut off. I'm out of school and working full-time as a Kinesiologist and kept some of my volunteer activities, the important ones. How do I lose so much points to go below the cut off and not get an interview is beyond me TIME STAMP: 1:32 pmInterview Invite or Regrets: RegretsEarly or Regular Deadline: RegularGPA or AGPA (if applicable): 85.72% AGPAMCAT (CPBS / CARS / BBFL / PSBB): 510Current Degree (UG/Bachelors/Masters/PhD): BachelorsGeography (IP/OOP): IPExtracurricular Activities (awards, achievements, volunteering, employment, research, etc.): Always worked during my undergrad, have been working in a physio clinic and working with patients for two years now.

Why would it be staggered rejection waves this year when the system has been able to handle all rejections sent out at once in previous years? I'm just confused about that. But maybe it could be related to the increase in applicants this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right in that last year it seems like there was only one wave of regrets, and it happened at ~5:30 PST... maybe we are done for the day, and less students just post on premed101...

Haha I had the idea of measuring with a ruler too. You could probably estimate your exact AQ and NAQ score using the AQ formulas from previous years (and also estimate your TFR for next year). I feel like the formulas don't really change from year to year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pro tip, you can right click and press "inspect element" and it shows you a local version of the source code. You can look and see what your exact score was and the cut offs!

Lots of employment history with 20 months full-time engineering work experience, some of it international. 1 first author publication in computing science. NAQ Range: 0-24.99th PercentileMy Result: Regrets, No Interview Invite. On the bar I was at 53% by inspecting element, 62% was the OOP cutoff. Seems like whatever ECs I could present did not float the boat. Clearly a very competitive field for NAQ! It seems that work/research isn't weighed nearly as strongly as volunteering and service ethic. Hopefully the rest of the country is more enthused about swiping right on me. Best of luck to all of you!!! It sucks but we'll use our tears to rehydrate and move on to the next one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
