cheerie Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 I just got 4th email for confirmation for invite as well.... I think Queens' is working their very best to get everything up and running and we should appreciate their effort in correcting the huge mistake they made stay positive everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HBP Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 Probably going to send these second confirmations to all invites (400 or something right?), and then send out a mass email saying if you didn't get an invite, regrets. Dal had to do that last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrail Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 if office hours are 8-4 (as someone mentioned previously on here), it looks like they may be working overtime to clear this all up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TarCalion Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 A fourth e-mail and then silence is pretty much confirmation that all the invites went out yesterday. Abandon all hope ye who enter here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
africarocks Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 I just received a fourth email too (timestamped at 4:29) confirming that the interview invite had been received. Hang in there everyone... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takashi Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 I also received the 4th email confirming the invite. If only each of these invites were from a different school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGB Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 I'm questioning if they've fixed anything. Its just the same people receiving emails still while those who have received nothing have still received nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quackster Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 they might be starting all over again, from the beginning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCD Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 Does the second confirmation read the same as the first confirmation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolitaireAddikt Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 A fourth e-mail and then silence is pretty much confirmation that all the invites went out yesterday. Abandon all hope ye who enter here. Can we please stop being so defeatist? If all that were left were rejections, I think they would have told us by now (one simple email- if you didn't hear from us yesterday, then sorry! Better luck next time/elsewhere). And yes, the few who did hear from Queens today were rejected- however, lets be honest, most of the responses were going to be rejections anyways, so such a small sampling of people is no way to determine whether or not there are no invitations left at all. For all we know they may just be 'redoing' things. Maybe they are just starting at the beginning again and working their way through as many people as they can manage. Just because people received a fourth confirmation does not mean they were the only ones invited- in light of the debacle this entire ordeal has been, Queens might just want to make sure that those who were sent decisions previously actually received them, before moving on to the rest of us. But in the end, so long as we are not sitting in the actual admissions office, we have no freakin clue what is going on there. Some speculation is fine- lets face it, that's what this website is based off. However, remember that this is a very, very intense and emotional process for a lot of people. The last thing we need right now are broad, and completely unsupported proclaimations of defeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takashi Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 Does the second confirmation read the same as the first confirmation? No, the first confirmation (3rd email) stated that there was a glitch in the system and contained a brief apology. The 2nd confirmation (4th email) contained this in the beginning:"Please be advised that this is a second confirmation notice to ensure that you receive this message. Due to technical difficulties we could not confirm that our original message was sent." and afterwards had portions of the very first invite email with interview details such as booking and interview dates.

The last thing we need right now are broad, and completely unsupported proclaimations of defeat. You're right we don't know anything. Just the frustration coming out. I'm as emotionally involved in this as the next guy, I'm a grad student with a lower GPA but great MCAT's. Queen's was supposed (based on previous years) to be my sure shot at an interview. I know neronix is still on here somewhere shaking his/her head, but you can't tell me that most people didn't think that going in. I've just spent two days wanting to vomit, was told today on the phone that I would hear, and now nothing. Discouraging as s**t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neuronix Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 Not trying to be a jerk. Please don't take it that way. Just trying to put things in perspective. I have been in your shoes.

summery Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 Sorry, this thread is too long to read, but to those saying that Queen's didn't do anything today, I received an email about an hour ago as SECOND confirmation (since the rejection, invite, confirmation) yesterday. I think they are still sorting through the screw ups from yesterday, for those of you who haven't heard from them yet, have faith! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igeorgex Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 I just find it really frustrating that they find it more important to message people who already HAVE interviews rather than putting the rest of us out of our misery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TarCalion Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 Are people feeling that the day is done now? Think they are still working late or are we hooped till tomorrow? I'm calling it a night. Same time tomorrow guys? My last remaining hope is that somehow calling today and not hearing, was a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGB Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 For those of us that didn't hear anything yesterday, it's strange that pretty much none of us heard anything today either. Basically nothing new, invite or rejection, seems like it went out today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
