MedicineLCS Posted January 23, 2020 Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 In last year's thread someone reported that their school email's spam filter completely blocked Ottawa's email, it didn't even show up in their own spam folder. I would add them to your safe senders list and call them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ontariomedschools Posted January 25, 2020 Report Share Posted January 25, 2020 does the school have an IP preference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrOtter Posted January 26, 2020 Report Share Posted January 26, 2020 20 hours ago, Ontariomedschools said: does the school have an IP preference? I believe the IP GPA cut-off is like 0.05 (or less) lower than that of OOP. But Ottawa does not have any specific quotas for interview invitations like McMaster does. So it's pretty inconsequential.

To those who didn't get interviewed: never give up if that's your dream. Odds were never in my favour until I finished my 2nd undergraduate degree.
