momo Posted May 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 LOL...I hate to break it to you ccoh, but unlike all of you nerds, my internet is NOT the first thing I do in the morning, I have other, more important tasks first.... LOL... what a big lie I just told I am on some new go to sleep at 4 a.m. wake up at 11 a.m. kick..not sure why...maybe I'm sleeping off the stress of the past few months:) But thanks for carrying the torch...I am off today around 1 p.m., I can't wait...I really need some relaxing time in the wilderness, with the lake and the sunsets and the bears Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccoh Posted May 5, 2007 Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 Ok, so I'm a nerd, what's your point?

vince99 Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 I have a feeling the e-mail will be sent on the 15th, and the admissions committee is referring to the snail mail packages arriving on the 17th or 18th. I know that the interview invitations and reference letter confirmation e-mails / snail mail followed this pattern. Why would the admissions committee need 2/3 extra days. I doubt they do. Since they were supposed to send us our interview scores at the beginning of May, and last year they sent them after two weeks. The interview scores have certainly been calculated. After that, its a matter of 60% GPA, 40% interview -->The list is formed. I predict May 15th... 10 days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UofS2010 Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 haha i love facebook... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccoh Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 Ok, so 9 days then, (or 12)!! And does anyone really want their interview scores at this point? I think it would just make me more neurotic than I already am waiting for the acceptance/waitlist/rejection letter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momo Posted May 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 LOL oh guys you rock!!! thanks for keeping this going...needless to say I'm BAAACKKKK, a little worse for wear, got bitten by a hornet and then swarmed by about a thousand million blackflies... I LOVE forests and lakes, they're the best... I love the countdown too, this must be a first on this board... 9 (or12) days to go LOL ccoh... thats funny... very Canadian - it might be like this or it might be like that, who knows... we're so existential.

vince99 Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 Hey guys, yes, only 9 or (12) days left... http://www.medicine.usask.ca/admissions/calendar-for-applicants/ According to the important dates page, we don't need to send in a final transcript? Can anyone confirm this? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momo Posted May 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 Hey Vince99, I think it depends... if you are from UofS, you are allowed to apply in 2nd year, and thus your second year counts in your two best years GPA, so your offer will be conditional on final grades. If you're OOP (or IP), you must have completed your two best years before applying, so you should be fine UNLESS you are now completing any of the pre-requisites... I am in this situation, and I have to send a complete final transcript once I receive it in order to receive admission (when I am accepted hehe, I'm channeling good thoughts here not being arrogant, my acceptance would be conditional on completion of those pre-requisites). If you don't meet any of these two categories, I don't think that a final transcript is needed. If you're worried, contact the admissions office though.
