Nobody knows anything. Just leave it at that. Yes there's some form of reporting bias here but I don't think there's much bias to suggest that the conclusion "button = offer" is incorrect. Like regardless of which school. So far, it seems related to Mac so we're assuming it's an offer for Mac. But button = offer applies to any school.

TheFlyGuy Posted May 7, 2020 Report Share Posted May 7, 2020 Just now, short_stack said: I'm a little confused by this theory for those of us with only one interview. I was rejected pre-interview from the other 2 schools I applied to. Wouldn't that mean my file is "complete"? And if Mac has already sent in their decisions, why do I have an "incomplete" file and therefore not have the button regardless of result? Fair point, esp considering your interview was Mac iirc. I was kinda imagining that maybe a school had to completely finish with all of their business for this cycle for it to be marked "complete" for the purpose of The Button, so even pre-interview rejection schools may not have finished sending out all of their offers to others making the profile seem incomplete, but that's a good point. I could be totally wrong haha, no way to know till Tuesday. Let's just hope it's like the old green circle fiasco and it ends up meaning nothing at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayKay Posted May 7, 2020 Report Share Posted May 7, 2020 Or maybe button has no meaning LOL - it’s 5 days till offers come out and I think I might be taking a step back till then. Won’t be helping anyone by being so wrapped up during the build up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, i really don't understand this theory. Before today, no one had the button. Today, some people have the button. Let's say Mac was the first to send in their decisions today, and some people got the button. That person might also get an offer from another school that they interviewed at that has yet to release their decisions, so how would their file be "complete"?

Rusty Verdigris Posted May 7, 2020 Report Share Posted May 7, 2020 ^I have the button, and am definitely not getting an acceptance from an Ontario school. I was waitlisted to interview for Mac, but didn't get an interview. I think the selection bias is messing up your data because folks who were rejected pre-interview to Mac are not neurotically checking irrelevant forums like I am Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrOtter Posted May 7, 2020 Report Share Posted May 7, 2020 Honestly I'm just counting on the fact that very very few people so far (who might be extraordinary cases like MD-PhD or internationals) who did not interview at Mac and are seeing the button. Like for all the stronger candidates out there interviewing at multiple schools, it's impossible that only 2 of them are accepted to any of those schools. Ergo button ~ Mac offer.
