May I ask how you know (I'm scared to get my hopes up haha).

There's a facebook page you get invited to when you receive an invite, the same facebook page gets changed year after year to reflect the new cycle and the new M1 reps for the current year and in the past few years the timing of the change is either on the day of the invites get sent out or give a take a day or two before. The group announced today the new M1 reps so i'm just guessing the invites come out tomorrow!

Thanks! Good luck to everyone! This forum has honestly been therapeutic for me.

Oof this makes logical sense and it made me a whole lot more anxious...similar feeling to the night before my MCAT score release LOL

Oh, I also joined the same facebook group (no idea lol), but I did notice the update today. It's mostly like coming out tomorrow (or Thursday). Nevertheless, I found this forum filled with amazing people. I wish we could all get an invite (haha).

Question: how do they find your FB profile in order to invite you? Do they just search you up, or is some sort of link sent to your email?

Question: What to do if you don't have a facebook?

They send a link out in a separate email from your invite to join, the link is usually sent out by the M1 reps

I think thats okay, the group is there to act as a forum to ask the M1 reps any questions about interviews but they also provide an email where you can ask those same questions to M1's if you dont have facebook!

My bet is on tomorrow based on years past being on Thursday or Friday :/

[mastermucocele 20]

MUN sent out their interview invites today, maybe Dal will follow suit 

[corgi321 48]

Well then, tomorrow it is (maybe??)

You will need to get Facebook if you get into Dal. All of the medical students connect on there whether it is to share study resources or student events and everyone uses Facebook messenger as a group chat.

The reps will monitor the ask a med student gmail account as well, but you could also make a Facebook so you can monitor for updates!

I hope this helps!

Fingers crossed. I stayed up really late working so I could purposely sleep in to avoid some the nerves/constant email  checking in the morning...

So how did that work out ? 

[LivySmall 8]

guys every single time someone posts in this thread and I get the email notification I literally have a frckn heart attack

[greysweater 89]

What if we're all getting played and it comes out next week or something lol 

[Premedwithadream 17]

It feels like it's never going to come out lol

[corgi321 48]

I'm convinced if they don't come out tomorrow then they forgot about us this year or something

[mastermucocele 20]

Do you think Dal’s (potential) strike is going to affect this stuff?

[rli2 15]

This is painful

Someone send them a helpful reminder

I'm going to ruffle a few feathers with this post, but a lot of you guys need to take a deep breath, close your eyes, take a step back, and exhale. Some of you are using this forum as a way to co-ruminate undue neuroticism and thats not healthy. There's a time and place for support among compatriots, but this thread has gone beyond that. DAL hasn't forgotten about sending out invites, they will do it - in time. It's written in multiple places on their website that they will send out invites sometime in October. We are the 22nd. Ya'll are basing your "interview release" date on a sample size of 2-3 past years when the current year is certainly an anomaly. It could happen today, tomorrow, next week - heck, it can even be delayed! The point is that DAL will communicate in time. Go outside, enjoy life, know that everything at this point is in the hands of the great cosmic aether. The only thing excessively worrying is going to accomplish is reinforce future worry.

Hey! I completely agree with your statement 100% and not looking to ruffle your feathers  However, coming on here and engaging with others who are going through a lot of the same struggles as me is actually quite comforting and what keeps me going. My family and friends irl don’t really understand what it’s like, so knowing there’s a community out there that gets it is really important to me. So although we don’t want to help the neuroticism flourish, I also wouldn’t want people to take a step back from support they can’t get elsewhere, or feel ashamed from seeking it here, and I’d rather them express how they’re feeling to feel a little less alone

Coming from someone who was on a waitlist for almost a whole summer along with @newmy88 here  and documented that journey almost every day,  I personally also found these forums to be very supportive and helped ease some burden of the anxiety of waiting. A con is they can definitely be neurotic and I won't deny that. But I feel as though they are use at your own risk. Some people will be happier checking every day to give themselves a sense of control, others will be happier going about their normal business and just putting it out of sight out of mind. Either is fine in my opinion.
