bread Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 Yes!!!! I think the end of the week especially will be busy for invites. I feel like it’s going to be so hard not to check my phone constantly in clinic, lol. My fingers are crossed tight for us!

frenchpress Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 Just now, MedZZZ said: I wonder if UBC FM sent the invites based on applicant's file scores or if it was in alphabetic order. Doesn’t seem like it was alphabetical. They also appear to have been batched, with multiple people getting invites with the same time stamps. Could be submission order. Or random.

cookie_m Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 Haha I'm over it. Rather know sooner than later. I'm grateful to have gotten the interview invites I have so far. I know some people got invites to Ottawa EM, so if you haven't heard anything a rejection, I would take that as good news? There's still some hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoMatchNoProblem Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 OOP = Out of Province So for example, if you are a CMG from British Columbia but applying for programs from Ontario, you would be considered OOP because you reside in a different province Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So do people tend to match more in their home province? Is there a preference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on the program - for smaller programs they tend to pick who they know based on rotations. We didn’t get electives this year so they only know their own students. Generally because of the carms unmatched rate continuing to go up and schools wanting to protect their stats, they tend to favour their own yes. In COVID times i suspect this will be the case even more so for programs that take small numbers of people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but only to the extent that most people want to stay in their home province and are able to offer more compelling reasons in their interviews for why they want to train at an in-province school, and programs probably have a preference for taking students who are likely to stay in their community after residency. But there isn't a quota in the same way that there is for med school admissions, at least not to my knowledge. ArthurMcArthur 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chunnie Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 for smaller specialities is no news : good news or bad news? If invites have started going out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly for smaller specialties (ie if program admin feasibly can send out invites without a computer program ~50 or less), if invites have gone out, no news is prob no news but more likely to be bad news. If rejects have gone out as well, you're likely a 'waitlist' in case anyone cancels. If rejects have not gone out, you're either a silent reject or a waitlist.

ArthurMcArthur Posted February 23, 2021 Report Share Posted February 23, 2021 Can't believe invites are still going out this far into the day. My baseline cortisol levels are those of a bungee jumper rn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
