Gaethje got some hands and can wrestle - i think hes gonna be a problem for Khabib. Silver lining, Ferguson-Poirier would be crazy 

Thats true. I think Ferguson-Porier and Khabib vs Gaethje would be a great card fight.

You could also not sleep for the next 20ish hours and then collapse due to pure exhaustion until 8am Tuesday morning

I think I'm going to try my best to just use the email. I have only Mac. Knowing that OMSAS is unreliable in the midnight update, plus it was a new thing last cycle that might have been fixed this time and it's potentially a time waste to even check, I don't think I could stand the extreme anxiety of seeing no change. Logging in and seeing nothing would just make my anxiety worse than if I coast along until the email. But then you can also always check if you can't take it lol so waiting makes more sense to me

Okay, OMSAS midnight watch time. Now that it's May 11, any changes on OMSAS? Has someone checked the source code? OMSAS, SHOW US A SIGN!!!

you cannot 'check the source code' for what displays the button because the site's written in php. You can only see what html your browser ends up rendering, which is useless. it's probably just behind an if statement based on whether offers are present in the database for your user id, (same for links to accept offers showing up), except whoever coded it didn't think to put a time lock in the and statement as well (since normally it isnt obviously considered a time-sensitive element)

so do u think the button means anything?

yes it's probably offers loaded in the system and they just didnt put a server-time check in the button's if condition

haha in all seriousness though, thank you for the reply! I was more referring to OMSAS in general rather than just the button, but I also appreciate a more technical opinion when it comes to buttongate.

I think my curiosity is going to overpower me, and I'll be checking the Western portal at midnight lol...but I'll probably check here first so that I'm warned as to whether I should be expecting to see anything on the Western portal. As for OMSAS in general, I'll probably wait until the morning, since it seems like it's less consistent, and I don't want to get even more stressed out over seeing nothing.

[I_AM 13]

Good luck to everyone tomorrow. I definitely checked at 12 last year randomly and received a nice surprise. Remember to enjoy the day and your summer, you literally only get accepted to med school once!  (not entirely true but you know what I mean)
