lostintime Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 No mail and I'm from Toronto. I thought mail wasn't supposed to take that long? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpie* Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 From Toronto (downtown) as well. No mail here either. I'm talking *no* letters at all! Not even bills! Hahah. Maybe the postman froze on the way over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonesRN Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 Does anyone know how many people will be interviewed at MAC this year? From the info that I received, it was approximately 550 (give or take) interviews for 162 positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

positiveoutlook Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 got the nice big envelope today. you can read the important part of the letter through the clear screen on the envelope! Congrats on the great news degoo!! Stats? IP/OOP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
temp_degoo Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 IP (not hamilton) 3.9, average (but unique) ECs, lots of volunteer (little clinical), heavy medical research. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADD101 Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 From Waterloo. Just received my invitation letter today. 3.9 with, I would say, moderate extracurrics and volunteer exp. Wow... this was rather unexpected so I am a little shaky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverjelly Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Congratulations to everyone with interviews so far! So, all we've heard with regards to invites so far are from people in Ontario, both because 90% of the interviews go to Ontario residents, and because mail to the rest of Canada will take a bit longer. Good luck to those of you (those of us!) from OOP waiting for letters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ducky Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 just curious, those of you who do research, when you say "heavy research" do you mean you've been working for a long time in multiple labs/ that you've been published as a lead author/ that you've done or are doing a 4th year thesis?

PTstudent Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 just curious, those of you who do research, when you say "heavy research" do you mean you've been working for a long time in multiple labs/ that you've been published as a lead author/ that you've done or are doing a 4th year thesis? This is a good question. Also do you convey your "heavy research" through the ABS? Any grad students get interviews yet? I am in Hamilton. No rejection or invitation yet.

ducky Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 This is a good question. Also do you convey your "heavy research" through the ABS? that's what I was wondering. I didn't even mention my research in answering the 5 questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurfette Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 I just re-read my answers to the questions and it occurred to me that I never wrote any of my resume or talked about my EC's/research on it. I just answered the questions... Now, I'm really nervous, waiting for my letter... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
temp_degoo Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 just curious, those of you who do research, when you say "heavy research" do you mean you've been working for a long time in multiple labs/ that you've been published as a lead author/ that you've done or are doing a 4th year thesis? I didn't include any research experience on the Mac questions, only the ABS (I assume this stands for auto-biographical sketch, but i'm not 100% sure how its used here!?). I didn't mean to sound cocky or anything by saying heavy research, but its "heavy" because I've been with the same lab since 2nd year (fourth year now), and did 2 NSERCs, work during academic year, and now an honours thesis. The work allowed me to work on several projects, and several publications are due soon (i hope.. I'm not involved in writing, but I will be an author).

Congrats to all of those who advanced and to those who didn't don't let this bureaucratic administrative system set you down, if you try hard enough you will get in. Cheers, Occ Health Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toroharo Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Got the invite today! Good luck to everyone who is still waiting to hear from them. I am a master's student at U of T. Undergrad GPA~3.9, pretty good extracurriculars, hospital volunteering, medical research since the end of second year. I did mention research in the mini essays, particularly on motivation to become a physician and professional/ethical role model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingirl Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Ha! I didn't know that everybody could feel exaclty the same as myself. I am soooo nervous to get the mail tomorrow. My Mum works for Canada Post and the amount of mail allowed to be delivered today was restricted due to the extremely cold temps in south-western ontario...go figure on the most nerve wracking days of many med-student hopefuls!! Well, good luck to all who haven't heard yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
