If the thoughts that commonly pop up in my brain were accurate assessments of my performance in any life domain, I'd be a complete failure. I don't trust that guy anymore. That being said, all my post-interview feelings are "eh", so I'm hoping this isn't the first time my brain is right! From what I've read elsewhere, it seems like several people felt like the feelings they had after their interviews weren't necessarily predictive of their results, so I'm banking on that too haha MMK, Gm1001, noku95 and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hanoori Posted April 20, 2021 Report Share Posted April 20, 2021 Hey guys, M-1 here. was in your spot a year ago (pandemic and everything), stay strong!!! what helped me was to focus on school and pick up some sort of hobby. i started to walk long distances while listening to podcasts (like 2 hour treks to random neighbourhoods at night no joke) and also watched some random animes here and there. unfortunately though, i do confirm no matter what you do your impulsive email and OMSAS checking will get worse (a lotttt worse) all the best my friends!!! mdhopeful26, Scrubadubdub and PopShoppe 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazoo4242 Posted April 20, 2021 Report Share Posted April 20, 2021 Yes what was the deal with the buttons? I've seen talk about the buttons in past threads, but couldn't really decipher what the button actually was! Was it an accept/reject offer button or what?

I've seen talk about the buttons in past threads, but couldn't really decipher what the button actually was! Was it an accept/reject offer button or what? a bunch of interviewees randomly saw the "Send Response" button on their OMSAS portal the day before the D-day, which usually wouldn't appear until you actually have offer(s) to respond to. This was obviously before any offers were made available on OMSAS. This appeared to be school-specific as people who interviewed at Ottawa only didn't have any buttons regardless of their outcome, while at Mac it seemed to be associated with lower stats and eventual rejection/waitlist (but then again they lotterized *most* of their class last year so who knows). At other schools like UofT, Queen's and UWO, the button didn't seem to mean anything in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyGuy Posted April 20, 2021 Report Share Posted April 20, 2021 Yeah far as I could figure the "Reset Responses" button only related to Mac somehow, and I think most/all of the people who had it ended up waitlisted there. It was a really weird bug, because like @DrOtter said that's only supposed to show up when you have an offer to respond to, after they've been released on D-day. Ended up being a real gut punch to the folks who got the R after having the button, on top of the lottery shenanigans and everything, really felt for em. But I hear this year's process hasn't been much better hahaha Scrubadubdub and convertedlurker 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seasoned for me, unfortunately. I’m hoping third try is the charm! Was Waitlisted at Ottawa last year after it being my only interview. I’m getting really anxious about May 11th because I know how hard waiting out the waitlist was last year.... but I’ll take waitlists over rejections any day just hoping for some better news this year because I’m not sure I’ll survive a fourth application cycle haha mdhopeful26 and Mozza 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
