I had both the buttons (review/submit changes and reset responses). But like I said, it's possible that this was a glitch too.

Premed4655 2 Posted May 8, 2020 Report Share Posted May 8, 2020 I do not have the button and have had interviews at uottawa and mac (3.95 GPA 127 CARS). I dug around a little bit in the html though and found this message where the button should be. I think this is likely an error if the website is reporting that.... but I am no computer science major to be fair. Anon_9 and MedicineLCS 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ms1998 11 Posted May 8, 2020 Report Share Posted May 8, 2020 15 minutes ago, rawshrimp said: But its too odd and unlikely that not one person so far who didn't have a mac interview has a button (unless they are already accepted as md/phd). edit: im seeing the spreadsheet now, and it look like other schools also have the button. Unless those are mdphd applicants. Applicants who only had interview at Queens and/or Ottawa also have reported the button. Is this true? I’ve read every single post of this forum and I don’t remember seeing anyone with JUST a Queen’s interview having the button. And I’ve been on the lookout specifically for that, because Queen’s was my only interview and I don’t have a button. Can anyone confirm that this is accurate? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Juxtaglomerulus 6 Posted May 8, 2020 Report Share Posted May 8, 2020 Don't ask me how I managed to make an account and binge through all 45 (?!) pages after years of anonymous lurking. I Just added my data: button, Mac/UOttawa/UofT, GPA 3.96, catastrophic CARS score (127) so I didn't even think I would land an "interview" (sigh). Trying so hard not to look into this and get hopeful. We'll know soon enough. Tuesday is not Dooms Day. You have come so far regardless and you'll make a good future for yourself even if you get big fat rejected on Tuesday. Now excuse me while I go for a nice recreational cry.

Obviously it could be misreported on the spreadsheet or i viewed it incorrectly. The original shows that everyone who has the button is either: 1. A Mac interviewee 2. Already accepted (MD/PhD) 3. No school provided (safe to assume Mac) This has been very consistent the whole time. If you have the button, you are either already accepted or a Mac interviewee. On the flip side, I think at least one? person has previously said no interviews=no button. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
birdpoo 0 Posted May 8, 2020 Report Share Posted May 8, 2020 just cuz it was a glitch last year doesn't mean its a glitch this year, they probably fixed up the system to fix the 12 am thing and maybe they messed up this part instead LOL Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think they just made. Mistake while combing through the thread so you can count that out Quote Link to post Share on other sites

marioh123 3 Posted May 8, 2020 Report Share Posted May 8, 2020 Last year, I was waitlisted at McMaster and was not accepted - I had the button. This year I interviewed at Mac and I still have the button. I don't think the button means anything Overstressed, James Nystead and Anon_9 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
