denden 9 Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 Just now, MD_Dream97 said: Alberta has made it online as far as I know... have they cancelled it now? true, alberta is online, but U of C straight up cancelled. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MD_Dream97 27 Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 I just hope one way or another we all get some closure tomorrow. It's been torture waiting this long because even though you know it gets less and less likely to get an invite at this point; that grain of hope makes so much trouble lol. noooooooot 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mdplsacceptme 35 Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 I hope UofT doesn’t cancel... that would be super unfair especially after making us wait for so long Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Captrex_501stlegion 81 Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 So I just called and they said theyre not cancelling. Like others mentioned before, they said we are likely to hear back at the end of this week or early next week. I was also told that they are currently evaluating their options and are aware of what other schools are doing. They will update us by early next week. mdplsacceptme, Himynameis1234 and drager 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LastOneStanding 35 Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 Seriously I do not think 200 people doing interviews would increase the chances of getting the virus significantly, if anything I think it just adds to the element of public panic. As long as they mention that they would compensate for people who might feel the symptoms and encourage everyone to stay safe and attend hospitals if they feel they are infected, there is no need to cancel or switch to online interviews. mdplsacceptme 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I would have been inclined to agree with you a few weeks ago, but considering that it has a high mortality rate in seniors and with reports that apparently people can be asymptomatic carriers, I would have to kindly disagree.

You have to remember that the people administering the interviews are often health care professionals. They come into contact with someone who has the virus, that could get spread to their patients, likely from the vulnerable population groups. premed82, Godsavethequeen and anonymouspanda 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Obviously none of us have any idea what's exactly going on, but UofT just cancelled classes. They have more important things to worry about than applications right now.

88risingsun 63 Posted March 13, 2020 Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 Nobody hear back today? I just called and they said the Mar 28/29 spots are not filled. Must continue into next week I guess... kind of worried because I'm OOP and usually OOP should receive invites well in advance right? Here's to the last grain of hope Quote Link to post Share on other sites
