babakoto Posted April 12, 2021 Report Share Posted April 12, 2021 now that we're 3–4 weeks away from decision day I thought I would start up this ol' annual tradition. How are you guys staying sane for the next little while? Also, does anyone know if Dr. P mentioned the estimated date that offers/regrets would go out in any of the MMI sessions?

amiralangs Posted April 12, 2021 Report Share Posted April 12, 2021 I'm not staying sane. All I can think about is how these interviews went. This is the most agonizing wait. babakoto 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garceyues Posted April 12, 2021 Report Share Posted April 12, 2021 I've been over analyzing every little thing I said. Interestingly enough, I've found that I have felt worse about the interview as time has gone on despite feeling quite decent initially. I definitely know there are some areas I could have done better on, but I think its natural to feel that way? Idk how many people finish their interview feeling like it was perfect May can't come quickly enough, I just want closure. babakoto 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babakoto Posted April 13, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2021 ha I definitely feel the over-analyzing sentiment. I get random flashbacks to my first station—that one was going so laughably bad, I vividly remember glancing at my interviewer and she had the most confused look on her face, poor soul. 2 hours ago, wonderous_dreamder said: I believe he said the week of May 16th or 23rd Oh hmm weird ...

LostLamb Posted April 13, 2021 Report Share Posted April 13, 2021 My worst interview cycle in three cycles (out of 5 total interviews) was the one that got me into medical school. Don't overanalyze too much. Enjoy your freedom while you still have it. signed, exhausted first year staff garceyues, babakoto, AB27 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellagirl Posted April 14, 2021 Report Share Posted April 14, 2021 I can’t wait until Dr P posts the next update so that we know when we’ll be hearing back. I know they’re busy but I feel like I can’t focus very well because I’m nonstop wondering! medhopeful2024 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_select Posted April 14, 2021 Report Share Posted April 14, 2021 Does anyone know if the application page gets updated first or do they send an email first with decisions? I think for UofA the application page gets updated first but I could be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garceyues Posted April 14, 2021 Report Share Posted April 14, 2021 Heads up that U of C just emailed all interviewees the music video for this year! When I saw the unopened email in my inbox I thought acceptances/rejections were out early and man did my heart rate ever spike PharmDapp, futuredoc43, starmay and 2 others 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babakoto Posted May 2, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2021 Alright friends, according to Ređdit verifier checks have started going out. And it looks like we're hurtling towards decision day without an update from Dr. P Anyone wanna bet on when decisions will come out? I'll put my money on this Thursday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garceyues Posted May 2, 2021 Report Share Posted May 2, 2021 For some reason I'm thinking the second week of May. Could be wrong but I think that's around when invites usually come out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starmay Posted May 2, 2021 Report Share Posted May 2, 2021 New post by Dr. P on the blog!! Looks like offers are coming out the week of May 10th.

wanderlustnerd29398 Posted May 6, 2021 Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 Guys! I had only one verification go out, and it went out today. They were told to confirm by tomorrow. I find it strange that after Dr. P posted on may 2 that they started contacting verifiers last week, yet mine went out a day before they were due. I am probably overthinking, but does anyone have any opinions? Also, does anyone know if they typically sent verifications out to only a few people or to everyone you've put down? I also just want to say goodluck to everyone. We have all worked so hard, and we all deserve to get in. It is so unfortunate they have such a small number of seats, and sometimes it feels so beyond our control. But I truly hope everyone is holding up alright, staying busy and holding on to hope!

I can't imagine why they only sent yours today but I do remember reading that they send these out until classes start so maybe they figured they'd just squeeze that one in ASAP haha! Honestly I dont know what to think of this except that they are probably going to update us tomorrow or Monday once these verifiers all get back to them? Maybe we'll actually find out early next week rather than late? Good luck to you too! I think it will be such a relief for all of us to finally know the outcome of this year's cycle. wanderlustnerd29398 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming that the date for verifiers to respond is irrelevant to the release date of final decisions but who knows... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
