It would be nice to receive some sort of update like Dr. Walker provided in the past just to calm some nerves. I'm going to assume that he is busy with other things, especially considering the effects of the pandemic on the faculty. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DrKing 1 Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 I agree. I think the pandemic has slowed things down a lot. I do like having conversations with you all on here though. Nice for some social interaction during the pandemic + waiting for our results. Thanks guys Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mscpmed 0 Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 Mine changed to "awaiting decision" today! Definitely disappointed that there haven't been any updates on the blog, I was curious to see how many apps were moving forward into file review. But I also saw that last year, Dr. P posted around this time to say that file review was almost complete, so maybe we'll have an update soon! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
garceyues 26 Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 Still hasn't changed for me, but it looks like I'm not the only one Quote Link to post Share on other sites
inhaleexhale 0 Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 I submitted on Oct 1 and it just changed to awaiting decision today! Hopefully we hear soon Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Goldie 1 Posted Friday at 11:59 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 11:59 PM Mine finally updated to awaiting decision (I haven't checked in a few days so I'm not sure when exactly the status changed)!!! Ahhh - getting closer to finding out!!! Best of luck to everyone! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tungsten44 27 Posted Saturday at 04:26 AM Report Share Posted Saturday at 04:26 AM Mine still says "application submitted" :/ (OOP that submitted Oct 1) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
smolandfeisty 96 Posted Saturday at 05:53 PM Report Share Posted Saturday at 05:53 PM Hi all! IP applicant over here who submitted Sept. 29, still has my application status listed as "submitted". It's definitely making me a bit nervous, but it very well (hopefully) could mean nothing. My top theories are: - This (maybe) means they didn't read my app & go "thanks but no thanks", immediately tossing it out along with my hopes and dreams.... so.... I like this theory. Lol. - Along this same line, maybe my score is close to the cutoff and they haven't made a decision yet. Welp. - They haven't reviewed my file yet (pls let this not be the case) - The adcom hasn't had time to update everyone's status yet, for whatever reason Just wanted to post for anyone else who is in the same boat and may be feeling some nerves about it Good luck everyone!

I wouldn't stress too much! Mine still says submitted as well If anyone's thinking that it still says "submitted" because they're not interested then it's also just as likely that they are interested and saving those till the end Of course I don't think either of these are true whatsoever lol, likely just random and they haven't gotten around to reviewing/updating them all (if they were finished then there would have been an update on the blog by now saying so) garceyues, smolandfeisty, Braindrain and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

annaham 0 Posted Sunday at 06:13 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 06:13 PM The admin office might be overwhelmed with the increase of almost 300 applications. In confrontation of the economic downturn, a lot of people in oil and gas and engineering are trying to change career path. Medicine is a good alternative since it is stable. I feel that the competition is going to be very strong this year. And I image that it is not going to get easier next year. I hope the admission committee can give out more invites.

jadeemz 13 Posted Sunday at 07:21 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 07:21 PM If you look at the blog post from last year where Dr.P announced file review was done he says that they're beginning to meet to rank the files, which would indicate that no ranking has taken place yet. From that wording I would assume that there is no correlation between when your application is reviewed and status changed to 'awaiting decision' and if you'll receive an invite.

YoungDumb&Broke 0 Posted Tuesday at 06:14 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 06:14 PM Anyone still not have their status updated? Looks like it should be done by the end of the week, based on the blog update. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
smolandfeisty 96 Posted Tuesday at 06:21 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 06:21 PM http://mdadmissions.ucalgaryblogs.ca/ Here is the blog update for anyone interested in reading it Courtesy of @jadeemzon the UofC med interview invites thread jadeemz 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
purplekiwi 0 Posted yesterday at 05:30 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 05:30 AM I just noticed in the comments of Dr. P's latest blog post that he said "there should not be any applicants at application submitted stage"... mine still says application submitted Anyone else still in that boat? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ohvalleyofplenty 9 Posted yesterday at 05:57 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 05:57 AM Mine also says 'application submitted'. In one of the other comments on that thread Dr. P said that some people have this status even though they are at the review stage, so we shouldn't worry. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
