gb35 Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Alright, well, I guess I should brace for a rejection, since my last name is in the ABC range. Weird, since I thought ECs were the strongest part of my application. Upsetting. Ottawa was my second choice after Dal. I'll trade a Calgary, Western, and Mac interview for someones Ottawa interview. I'm keeping the Dal interview. This is allowed, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Juicy.Fruit Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Any chance your wGPA is just under 3.85? (Probably not I know...just wishful thinking on my part) My wGPA is 3.93-5 ish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comeon Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 I suppose if there is nothing in the next 15 minutes, we are out of the running. Congrats to those who have been invited so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmorelan Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Nope, panel. EDIT: knowing you, f_d, you were probably asking so you'd know whether you should get ready to post the MMI package, haha. I think it's great, by the way, and a lot of the stuff that's in that package would also be relevant for a panel interview. I would agree that is going up in the interview seciton as soon as I can process it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isix Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Or maybe it's not alphabetical? But that's just silly wishful thinking. My wGPA would only be a 3.87... but I thought my ECs were good. Or at least, Queen's thought so.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redpens Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Invited!!! In province, out of Ottawa. 10:42, last name Y. I'm soooooo happy! :D I was rejected pre-interview from them last yr.

My wGPA would only be a 3.87... but I thought my ECs were good. Or at least, Queen's thought so.... This is why I am mystified. GPA was a HUGE barrier for me, but I did not lack confidence in my ECs. After getting Calgary/Mac invites, I figured that my ECs and presentation of myself (CASP) must be good, so I had high hopes for Ottawa. The Calgary application was due after OMSAS though, and I think I spent a lot more time on it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thatonekid Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 there seems to be little overlap between invites at Ottawa / Queens and Ottawa / Toronto. This is bad for waitlists. It's difficult to determine the Ottawa/Toronto overlap at this point, since no one (besides grad students) have received UofT invites yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thatonekid Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 When do rejections go out? This afternoon?Most likely. iirc UofO generally sends out one decision (invites/rejections) in the morning and then the leftover decision gets sent out in the afternoon.
