carebear15 Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 I thought I would start a thread on interview offers for this year's CaRMS match... so far I've only heard from Queen's with an e-mail stating that offers will be sent out before December 21st. Any other news out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noncestvrai Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 Haha, like it means anything, at least they didn't lose my file (yet!). I don't know when people received their interview offers last year, it's going to be fun (and expensive) to fly around the country in Jan-Feb! EDIT: If I'm lucky enough to get interviews... noncestvrai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirsteen Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 Hi there, Last year, the schools I know of that sent invitations out prior to Dec. 25th were: McGill, UofC and UofT. McMaster, Dal, MUN and UBC sent their invitations out after Dec. 25th. Good luck! Kirsteen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmc Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 Hey carebear, I noticed that you also did a surgery elective. Are you also applying for surgery? If so, I'm in a similar situation and I was wondering what proportion of electives you did in each? thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carebear15 Posted December 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 Hi tmc - I did one surgery elective but after much deliberation I decided not to apply to any surgery programs. Good luck with your application! Kirsteen - What were the UBC interviews like? Sounds intriguing... Also U of T and McMaster sent invites out today.

OPACITY Posted December 27, 2007 Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 Hey Guys, I was wondering if anybody heard from any other schools? So far I only have 4 interviews- fewer than I expected at this stage- but hopefully some of the remaining schools show me some love... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirsteen Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 Hi there, Last year there was a significant increase in the number of applicants and thus, some folks were surprised by the small number of interviews that they received. It seemed that, due to the swell in applicants, many programs tried to focus on interviewing candidates who they knew. All that being said, there are typically Rads programs who wait until the new year to dispatch invitations, so try not to worry. Four interviews still puts you in the running for a Rads spot. Good luck! Kirsteen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
