I know that rationally it’s likely just the process and having lots of very qualified applicants, but because it’s the first one I’ve heard from, I’m now worrying that something was wrong with one of my references or I did poorly on the Casper or something else. I thought my personal letter for that program was really strong. Ugh I’m sorry! Sometimes it’s hard to tell what happened but listen you’re still a good strong applicant. Hold out for the others! Hopefully some good news your way soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the person did it to separate specialties. In general I find it hard anyways at this point to see things anyway because there are so many haha! Maybe we could just create some spaces between categories? gumballs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try to keep in mind that this entire waiting game is an emotional rollercoaster of a process that you have no choice but to go through. Not every day will be filled with positive news, but you will have those exciting moments come to you! You just gotta try to keep your head up and not let every rejection define who you are, especially if they come from a school that you don't attend. Believe in your own worth and don't let this knock you down. bellejolie, Let it be MATCHical, gumballs and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to hear that, it is disheartening and it does make you second guess if there was anything in your application was messing, but it could be anything - if another reviewer read your app, maybe the outcome would be different - there's so much randomness in this process!

I am not sure which schools/specialties will be going for it, but I can say that some Canadian programs are into it.

It's hard but try to focus on all the interviews you have/will get and rock those, you got this! Thank you both! You guys are the best. It certainly is a roller coaster of a process, and I’m excited to keep hearing back. @chateau22, sorry to hear you’re in the same boat! I think you’re very right about the fact that there are soooo many potential reasons for a rejection. I think we might hear back from more tomorrow, so my fingers are crossed tight for us. You’re going to rock your interviews too. We’ve got this! sykern and chateau22 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearded frog Posted February 26, 2021 Report Share Posted February 26, 2021 4 hours ago, CaRMS2021 said: In the US programs paid for food delivery for pre interview socials so let's see if Canadians are as generous Some do, just like in the beforetimes some programs would have an open bar social at a club, and some would have one a at a tea house. Some of these places confirming addresses are going to send you information packages you would have received during in-person interviews, probably along with some swag. You shouldn't compare Canada to the states though, because the number of programs in the US means that they are competing for top applicants, and so usually are better at wining and dining. It's similar to medical school, where they would invite accepted applicants back for an expense paid weekend "second look" to learn more about the program and connect with current students/faculty/other potential matriculants, and do social events.
