Addy K Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 lol that's what I'm doing now... I'll have to start prepping for Ottawa next week anyway I guess. It's annoying switching from MMI to standard though.. they are pretty much the opposite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's annoying switching from MMI to standard though.. they are pretty much the opposite. Yeah, in one you have to communicate keen interest, compassion, awareness, an ethical mindset and well-roundedness, while in the other... oh wait... I understand what you're getting at, but I find "opposite" is the wrong word. I assure you that you can take comfort in knowing that your preparation for one certainly will help with your preparation for the other. All the best!

DocT7 Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 lol that's what I'm doing now... I'll have to start prepping for Ottawa next week anyway I guess. It's annoying switching from MMI to standard though.. they are pretty much the opposite. I'm with you - while maybe not opposite, I find them very different, and the prep very different for both as well. I am in Toronto right now preparing for U of T tomorrow and it's very different from what I did/do for MMI... the way you incorporate your own experiences in each is different, maybe even opposite, but either way the qualities that matter are the same for both No time to sit and wait, got to keep on movin' (*sung in tune..*) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neuronix Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 hey DocT7 I recall you getting quite a few interviews...what's your first choice? Assuming you get a few acceptances... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocT7 Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 hey DocT7 I recall you getting quite a few interviews...what's your first choice? Assuming you get a few acceptances... Hi Neuronix, This is a good question!! I am in province in BC and would really like to return to the interior (southern campus in Kelowna, really close to my hometown). That being said, I seem to be falling in love with every campus I visit, and I promised myself I would keep open minded until I had visited all the schools and talked to the medical students and found my "niche." Ultimately, it will come down to who chooses me (of course) and what my options are! I purposely remain "undecided" and will go by feel! What about you? And everyone else? I could stand to hear a bit more about certain schools (Queens, being one of them!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GGGSaint Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 ...Dal decisions will be here before we know it! My honeymoon with the wishful idea that I made the elusive top 9 will end in T-9 days. </3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gb35 Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 I've definitely never been this worried about anything in my life. I'm quite sure my interview and ECs aren't worthy of top 9 status, but hopefully that waitlist moves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryacha Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 I don't think there is even one of us with their mind set on initial acceptance, those 9 spots are just so few that I feel like everyone is biding for top of the waitlist and not acceptance, I know I am. I have seen my fair share of pre-interview rejections and I have to say I'm just happy that I even got to the interview stage this year! Here is to the next 8 days of anxiety and good luck to everyone with other interviews (and not just because I want some waitlist movement either ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, I echo the same sentiment - all the best to everyone IP and OOP It's true, though - Sunday will be a long day. What is everyone planning on doing this summer? I'm planning on working, but I don't know where just yet. I suppose decision letters will play a part in the plans, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going away for a week to a music festival so that should be fun! If I get in I'll likely take the week off before school to get some things figured out and have a bit of a break... and if not, then I guess I will job hunt... everything is so up in the air! Cannot wait until the 7th.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mourning Cloak Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Cannot wait until the 7th.... Admissions go out on March 7th? That's kind of nuts. That's Match Day. You'd think that would be enough work for one day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha yeah I realized this a few days ago too. A new class selected while the one four years up goes on to the next step of their careers. Cyclical and poetic .

apsr Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 I booked a vacation down south for the March break (which for me happens the week after March 7th). So, either way: I'm going to enjoy the sun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangebubbles Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 So...does anyone think that these decisions may come out on Friday? Wishful thinking for the win!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HBP Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 I've somehow convinced myself that they will definitely be coming out this Friday. If I am wrong, it will be a bigger letdown than getting rejected on Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
