To pass the waiting time


Recommended Posts

I have been lurking here for about a month, and I can't describe how excited I am for you guys! I can't even apply yet (I'm in grade 10 :P) but honestly, I wait anxiously to hear if you guys got in! eek! :D Ottawa is probably my first choice med school, so you guys who get in have to report to me what its like XD

 

I can understand your enthusiasm...but grade 10 is definitely too early to be picking your "first choice" of med school! So much can change about the curriculum/facilities of every school in the next 5-6 years before you can even apply, so I'd keep an eye on every school if I were you.

'Excited' is not the right word to describe how I'm feeling right now.

I haven't posted in awhile, may as well post in a random thread. We had our pre-clerkship OSCE tonight, complete with enough stress and pressure to deter even the keenest of keeners from medicine :D It was pretty good all things considered, although the beer and conversation with the class afterwards at the Royal Oak near Pretoria bridge was much more fun. Good luck to everybody on May 15th :)

Thanks Julie.

 

 

 

I'm leaving tomorrow at noon to guide a wilderness survival course in Northern Ontario ... If I get rejected, I'll be in such a pissy mood that I'll fail everyone and there will be NO surviving in this wilderness survival trip.

 

... wo, evil.

Hey, this was definetely posted earlier somewheres...but are both acceptances and rejections sent out via email tomorrow? Are they sent at the same time? Thanks :)

 

 

Yeah - Ottawa (and most other schools) will send you a response regardless. The possibilities are usually accepted, on the waitlist, or on the waitlist + seek alternate plans (often called the "bad" waitlist).

 

As for timing, I think the waitlist ones *may* have been sent out a little bit later last year, but not by much. I can't say for sure though.

 

In any case, good luck tomorrow!!! You're almost there!!

 

If you want to pass the time, make fantastic plans of what you'll do if you don't get in - it makes you feel better, trust me.

Whoa there folks!

 

I've been where you were a couple times. If you do not get in, it is not the end of the world. Like a lot of the really big things in life (marriage, children, buying a brand new car, etc), it is both a blessing and a curse. Trust me...

 

So try and enjoy where you're at, whether that is at home with your parents (lucky you, that you have living parents, and a family who you like to be around), by yourself, accepted, waiting or rejected.

 

Sure, easy for me to say, right?, because I'm on the other side. Well that's the point! Getting into medical school has not made my life any more or less perfect, it has just changed it.

 

So hang tight.
