vmed88 13 Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 Result: Accepted (Hamilton)!!! Timestamp: 8:05am cGPA: 3.89 CARS: 129 CASPer: I'm not sure since the score is never released, but personally feel this was likely a strong point in my application. I work in a job where I deal with "dilemmas" on the regular so I felt comfortable during the test. It likely made up for my 'meh' GPA. Year: 4th year UG Geography: IP Button: No Considering other offers and will be politely declining rawshrimp 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FinallyAccepted23 8 Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 First time posting here, really excited about my offers since like many of you I've been dreaming of this for so long! Result: Accepted (to Hamilton) Timestamp: 8:03 AM cGPA: 3.96 CARS: 130 CASPer: Practiced a lot and I felt good about it. Also got accepted to Ottawa, which I will be taking over McMaster after what they did with the lottery. Year: 4th year undergrad Geography: IP I'm grateful for the offer but I just can't accept it in good faith given how badly Mac's reputation has fallen as of late. I have some friends in med school and word spread pretty fast about the Mac 'lottery class' across multiple schools, it's not something I want to be known for (especially if it affects residency and how patients or doctors view me). I also feel like I earned Ottawa while Mac was just a coin toss. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Also accepted at Ottawa, but Mac has been my top school for a while now. Although it was unfortunate how the lottery system was handled, I believe in my abilities to kick butt in med school (as we all should!! Getting an interview alone was an enormous feat for us all) and ultimately I believe that the 3 year program is too good to pass up! Best of luck to everyone!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Also don't want to deal with the amount of imposer syndrome which that offer comes with Imposter syndrome will happen to medical students at any medical school. Most docs say they don't feel fully confident till 10 years in their practice...and this comes from docs from varying ontario schools and out of province... In any case, best of luck on your journey.

Agreed but it (imposter syndrome) will be significantly worse for the lottery class knowing that people will always be gossiping behind their back from other schools when competing for residency Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MedDragon 1 Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 Up until this point, it looks like McMaster did not make any rejections. It is possible that McMaster put everyone on the waitlist so they don't get an influx of complaints from people being rejected during the lottery. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Applicant95 82 Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 Does anyone know what the program codes on OMSAS stand for? Mine says MDR which I thought meant downtown (Hamilton) campus, but the email I received from them says Waterloo campus. It doesn't matter to me personally since I won't be accepting Mac's offer, but just curious. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't trust anything mac says or does anymore Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't trust anything mac says or does anymore Of the lottery 450, all of us were randomly ordered already. The top 100 of the list were accepted and the middle 250 were waitlisted and the bottom 100 were rejected They could certainly waitlist everyone - but they did say they would send rejections Quote Link to post Share on other sites
