bread Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 15 minutes ago, psychsohard said: Does anyone know if most programs send their interview offers out all in one go and how long it takes for them to update your interview status on carms after offers are sent? E.g. if I see a program on the interview tracker list that has sent out invites but I haven't heard anything from them, does this mean I have not gotten an interview, and how long can I expect to wait for confirmation of this on carms? I can't speak from experience because I haven't received any invites yet, but I believe they can send invites in different batches for different streams (ex. IMG vs. CMG).

Some programs may not update rejections until the very end in case applicants cancel for whatever reason, they have a pool to draw from. Depending on size of program too (if very large, I wouldn't read too much into it but if it's small then I would assume chances are not looking too good).

bread Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 Those of you who have gotten invites so far - does the tracker update generally come first, or the email from the school? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WELLL zero updates on the tracker, email only. I messaged the CaRMS halp line and they (nearly verbatim) said lolsux some programs don’t follow what we tell them or do the opposite.

From my friend's FM match last year, we found that getting an email from a school meant an interview invite and getting an email from CaRMs first meant a rejection. It seems like CaRMs is super silent this year haha. I made my own interview tracker excel sheet. sykern 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cookie_m Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 Saskatchewan FM updated their ig earlier today saying they were finalizing their interview list, so I suspect tomorrow or this weekend if you applied there ArthurMcArthur and bread 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaRMS2021 Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 I wish I applied to a small program so I could've heard back earlier. Mine is a small program but not too small since it's competitive so lots of apps to get through. ArthurMcArthur 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know they only rank people they interview, so there really isn't a point in ranking them. I think I'm still going to rank them though, because a tiny part of me believes they might just take me in. I believe in Unicorns this match Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookie_m Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 I mean I already paid for them. Maybe they will make a mistake and rank you even though they say that won't rank you without an interview. ArthurMcArthur 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
