SoftTings Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 Does this make it more or less likely that the button was a random glitch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a glitch from the beginning (random or not) so fixing it doesn't change a thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Total Gunner Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 i'd say more likely. Only took 11 pages of discussion to get OMSAS to fix it after 2 years lmao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be a reach, but I have nothing to do but obsess at this point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medicallyricalmiracle Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 1 hour ago, William Osler said: 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 C’mon Will, none of us know. If we knew we wouldn’t be applying! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdhopefullyidk Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 My only reason to believe it wasn’t a glitch from the beginning is the fact that it didn’t affect ANY of the 3.95+/131-132 applicants. It seems somewhat selective. Will know for sure in about 8 hours! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Nystead Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 OMSAS got so tired of us complaining about a meaningless glitch they took them out of the middle of their day to patch it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are decisions sent by email? This is a school that doesn't acknowledge lack of transportation (ie not having a car) as a valid excuse to not do rotations at sites where the public transit system does not reach. If they can expect you to have a car, they can expect a stable wifi connection lol, this is just an excuse GLWL and redbeanbun 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takasugi Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 Does anyone know how Ottawa uses CASPER? How important is it for getting an Ottawa interview? I want to know whether an Ottawa invite is indicative of a good CASPER score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayKay Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 I think it's not just internet access but good internet access. I don't know about you guys but the number of zoom calls I have been on with lag has been quite evident. Edit: to expand - the MMI requires you to think on the spot and when I was prepping delivery was just as important as ideas. If you kill an answer but the interviewer is struggling to hear or mishears something then really that's not going to work out well for you.
