Though she said that we should check again the next day in case they don't appear right away. Thank you for sharing this! So it is possible that an offer may not show up on OMSAS at midnight but may appear the next morning? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ontariomedschools Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 Here are my thoughts: OMSAS will update at 12 am tonight. Based on a previous post in this thread, OUAC has been doing that consistently for other professional schools. Last year, for people who did not receive the update at 12 and did the next morning, that was potentially a glitch since it was the first year of the new interface. Still possible that might happen this year. Worth keeping some hope. Were there a lot of people last year that did not see an acceptance but received one later in the day? I'm curious if it was connected to a specific school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter what you end up doing in the next year, it's gonna look different from what would have been. Plus, I'm far less concerned about the impact of a pandemic on year one than the rest of the years (esp. clinical years). It's a challenging, frustrating, and sometimes depressing situation, absolutely, but there's not much anyone can do but make the best of it and trust that things will rebound and we'll do our best to make up for losses. couldn't agree with this more!

HugeEuge Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 We really don't know how things are going to change over the next few months. Think about how things have changed since March, and that's only a few months in the past. Who knows what late August is going to look like. I think there is definitely still a possibility we have a semi normal first semester, with certain safeguards in place. Saying everything is going to be cancelled based is only pessimistic at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Nystead Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 Re OMSAS midnight drop Does every school release your campus along with the offer on the OMSAS interface? Ive seen MAM (Missisagua Academy of Medicine) TDR MDR (Toronto/McMaster Downtown Region) in the past. Last year, few applicants saw no change at midnight and received an offer from an email. It was not linked to a particular school as all schools (except for NOSM likely due to the few number of interviewees) reported seing offers at midnight - Hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac was my first choice before this lottery now I am not so sure. A bit late to reply, but I think mac has always prided itself on "giving a chance to the underdog/nontraditional" applicant wihtout the 4.0, 99th percentile mcat, who would otherwise excell in medicine. Perhaps they thought if they just took the top gpa/mcat then they would be giving offers to the exact same applicants as u of t, ottawa, western etc. If the top 250 would get offers to other schools anyway, why not reach out to people in the 400ish ranking who theoretically could have rallied the interview to get in? I think they could have used casper but perhaps they thought it wasn't transparent enough, and random would be most fair. Disclosure: I had a not great GPA but an ok mcat and assumed i did well on capser, and did ok on the interview and accepted off the waitlist. I'm someone who perhaps if had a rough day on interview day would have only have gotten in with a lottery, so im a little sympathetic. sweaterweather and MDLD 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
