EMWRR Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 they finally updated their website though... http://www.casperworld.ca/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ontariomed0002 Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 within the business day??? Do they expect us to give up our entire day sitting around and waiting for this email to come in so we can register in a spot that we can actually attend?

cantcatchme Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 I haven't gotten an email yet............. this is so frustrating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
small_town_girl Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 this is weird...I just got a SECOND e-mail from them with my same login info........maybe they forgot to check my name off the first time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cass Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 It is indeed very frustrating. I've checked my OMSAS applications twice to make sure I entered my email address correctly. Still haven't gotten an email yet =( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocT7 Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 I haven't got one either but we'll be fine. For all we know, they are sending out emails in waves - for example, the emails that have already gone out get to pick a time, and then the time closes off until the next round of emails. We could all end up having equal chance to pick from the time slots, you never know what's going on so just try and relax and hopefully it'll all work out No sense in worrying about something we can't control!

HisHands Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 It's kind of sad that some people have received their second email, whereas others (like myself) have yet to receive their first! It's more than slightly unfair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LostLamb Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 No offense everyone, but I can think of bigger tragedies in life than receiving or not receiving the email. There will be spaces for all...I am sure if you have an extremely good reason for not being able to make a specific shift there will be a way to appeal. Whenever something rolls out for the first time, there's always growing pains. Time to get ready for school! LL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HisHands Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 I was reading an article in the newspaper the other day, and apparently, the number of med school applicants has decreased overall. A lot more Canadians are going overseas to the Caribbean than are applying through OMSAS or to any Canadian med school. :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dzimmerman Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 I don't believe that MacMaster had only 2000 applicants. I feel some may have decided not to apply because of the CASPer, but not almost 2000 of them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EMWRR Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 this is what I was just told: all of the emails have now left McMaster and are making their way to your mailboxes. If you haven't received it yet you should very shortly. None of the time slots are filled and there are far more than there are people. I actually just received the email and there are still TONS of spots!! For every time slot and for both days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dzimmerman Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 I just got mine and registered...there are still tons of spots available for each time slot on either day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
