KMMD Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Has anyone spoken to someone at the admissions office, or think it is worth while to do so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuD Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Yes I definitely think it would be worth while if you can get through! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGB Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Fast approaching 4pm Kingston time. I'm guessing if they do send anything else today, they'll be hitting the send button as they're walking out the door so no one is there to answer any of our phone calls.

lkthlttr Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 I doubt we have heard the last of invites. I bet the system still has glitches and Queen's wants to make sure that double e-mails are not sent again. I can mention that in the e-mail I got, Queen's has stated that we are to sign up for interview spots on Jan. 31st. So, more replies must go out soon. What makes you think they're going to stick to that deadline? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Der Kaiser Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 I was initially hoping that Queen's had instituted a reverse cutoff: anyone with a GPA above 3.7 would be automatically rejected (plus some grad students that obviously worked and studied too hard). This in order to increase diversity of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCD Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Hey guys, I guess this would relieve the paranoia some of you like myself are experiancing; I just got a hold of admissions and was told that she doesn't know when the rest of the e-mails will be sent, but just b/c we didn't hear anything from them doesn't mean a rejection.

I managed to get through to them too...about an hour ago. She took my name down and told me I should hear from them "shortly". I'VE GOT NOTHING!!!!!!!!!

Bagh77 Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 I disagree. My Gpa is 3.82 and MCAT is 12/13/9 R. I think I meet their cutoffs, and as others have said, there were only ~50 reported interviews on the forum. Assuming they're going to hold several hundred interviews, it doesn't make sense that all the acceptances were sent today. I would also be more inclined to agree with you if there wasn't a major screw up with the mailing system. They could simply be trying to fix it and re-attempt it in the next few days. (I also know that not every applicant reads this forum, but I still think that more people will be accepted in the next couple of days). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Der Kaiser Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 You would think that the rejections would be the easy part if they are based on MCAT and gpa cutoffs. Like I'm almost positive I won't meet the cutoff, but just tell me already! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TarCalion Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Wow. What a stressful day. And what a major mishandle by Queen's. Hopefully we'll all hear tomorrow. Maybe UofT at the same time . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TankMasterFlex Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 This feels like UBC all over again... and that lasted an entire week! They did it the other way around though... sent out rejections over the week and then all invites at once. Good luck everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGB Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 Is the concensus feeling that if you didn't get an invite today then you likely won't? Are rejections all that didn't get sent today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are rejections all that didn't get sent today. Word from Admissions in that there are still invites to go out. Besides many people make the (admittedly guessed at) cutoff that still haven't heard anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LupeFiasco Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 IMO, 50 interviewees posting on premed101 is a BIG number. McMaster may have had a higher amount of people posting but they have the most applicants by FAR. I feel that all the interview invitations that have been sent are the only ones that should have been sent. I wish this wasn't the case as I didn't get an interview but I'm trying to be realistic. Obviously, I could be wrong... EDIT: I guess I was wrong =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
