gnomey Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 I heard the reason they release on the same day is so that everyone has an equal chance for all offers.If UBC released first then the cream would go there and not to another school. Also, if UBC is the only school you had interview for , then your odds of getting in would be worse if you weren't the "cream". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But why not just tell everyone the decision and then not let them accept or decline till May 14th? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mei_Mei_girl Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 I really should be studying for my exams, like really. I still have one on Monday and Friday. Yet I feel so anxious about May 14th. I do have plans for both acceptance and rejection but not knowing is just so painful. AHHHH Just leave it to what's meant to happen -- I know its hard it really is! I was put on the waitlist for 8 days...THAT was hard...killer... just keep hanging in there its all worth it in the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, this would make sense if all the schools released their decisions on the same day.....but they don't. Dal people have known since mid March and the McGill people find out May 7th. Even Ontario schools are May 13th and not May 14th....so it seems they're just doing it in conjunction with the schools out west (U of A, U of C, etc.). But hey, I'd rather good news on any day than bad news a few weeks earlier, so I shouldn't be complaining. Good luck everyone!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helix Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 Distraction for Monday: scan printed photos and learn to use photoshop to tweek them. I just learned how to do a black and white photo with one pop of colour. Next: on to layering for polished effects. I welcome any tips or tricks!

AndreaM Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 Only 11 days to go. I have hurt my leg and cannot run, so I have started swimming in the mornings instead. I enjoy swimming, but do not enjoy smelling of chlorine for the rest of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finks Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 I'm way more scared than I was last year. Last year I felt ready to find out, this year I am super worried about being rejected, way more than last year......maybe because I know how much it sucks? Not sure but I am dreading reading the subject line, as they seem to get right to the point these days whereas last year at least I had to read it to find out!

The anxiety is certainly escalating and I'm trying not to be as annoying to my spouse as this time last year, but my "crazy" is starting to show. OK, gotta go, I need more cookies.

RiceWine Posted May 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 nope. no nightmares yet. i mean, last time i applied i dreamed about getting in a couple of times, wearing the short white coat, wearing the "MD management" backpack etc...ended up with a rejection.
