I'm having nightmares of missing out on interviews because I didn't see them in time Noooo they’ll always ensure to accommodate you as much as possible. Fear not and definitely get those extra hours of sleep if you can. We have to remember the stats - 90%+ will match!!! And most to first choice specialty. So let the odds forever be in our favour.

I'm an IMG applying to Neuro I keep checking my spam multiple times as well in case I missed. With how competitive it is, I'm worried I might not even get an invite bellejolie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, I did apply to FM in BC since they don't have Neuro spots for IMGs. I hope we get the FM invites!

Juno Posted February 19, 2021 Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 Interview red Xs have definitely started going out. What a wonderful feeling when you've worked so hard for years and you get an X just notifying you that they'd rather never spend a second more of their life, even if it's a few minutes of zoom time, getting to know you, and you are left with no idea where you went wrong. Anyone else out there feeling like the last several years of hard work really meant nothing, I feel you immensely. mew, When the Moon Forgot, sykern and 6 others 2 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is so much subjectivity in CaRMS. If these programs can't see what you have to offer, then it's their loss. Really hope the other programs shower you with interview invitations! By the way, which specialty is this? bread 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

callmeswags Posted February 19, 2021 Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 To add to above (I'm not sure if this will help or hurt, but I hope and mean for it to help <3): I've participated in student hiring before in a related field, and I have to say, choosing between a group of immensely talented applicants is incredibly hard. Often times, it's basically a coin toss. The reality is that we've all made it this far and will be great residents, regardless of rejections from this flawed system. sykern, Butterfly_ and Distancea 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they aren’t quickly vetting people though.. though in this age anything’s possible ://// Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
