This has given me so much anxiety, it's not looking good for those without a button and I'm really sad now That's super weird. I got the button, 3.96 GPA 130 Cars, and I thought CASPer went poorly as I got an R from Ottawa but invites at other schools that look at ECs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
short_stack Posted May 7, 2020 Report Share Posted May 7, 2020 1 minute ago, swoman said: Okay all these people with amazing stats and no button is making me rethink button = mac offer rn We are assuming Mac is the only one who updated OMSAS so far. Of course, that assumption could be wrong and it does seem kind of strange that they would be the ONLY one to tell OMSAS yet. We are also assuming Mac only used GPA + CASPer + CARS, which may also be wrong but using anything else also seems very unlikely to me.

Any possibility that McMaster is the only school that has not "uploaded" their decisions at all yet? Not sure what this means in the context of the button, but it's looking more likely that it has to do with applicant file progress. We're also assuming that OMSAS updates every applicant at once per school, but it could be an applicant-by-applicant thing. This would make more sense as it could discount the button being a glitch and explain why many highly competitive applicants don't have it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I've just noticed too lmao. This makes me think either that it's DEFINITELY a glitch or that Mac suddenly started evaluating ABS and references. To me it seems much more likely that this is a glitch (or maybe doesn't indicate anything) than Mac suddenly looking at stuff they haven't looked at ever before lmao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MedGoldfish Posted May 7, 2020 Report Share Posted May 7, 2020 If the button theory is true for Mac applicants, will applicants who receive offers from other schools eventually see the button before May 12? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it. If the button is truly indicative of acceptance surely the OMSAS team will read this thread and make sure it doesn't appear for anymore ppl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chxiel Posted May 7, 2020 Report Share Posted May 7, 2020 Is it possible they reviewed reference letters/abs? Because I know people who should have both done well on CASPer but only one had the button Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming they don't input all acceptances instantaneously the leak could have affected the first few applicants then was fixed? Don't necessarily believe what I just said but its an explanation!
