domo Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 my whole ID is 6 characters. The first 3 are 0-initials. The last 3 are the 3-digit number. How is yours arranged? Just 3 characters? 0-XXXX 10char Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJ88 Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 ok, people really need to stop worrying. this is probably nothing. here is what i think: the netid system usually is for people AFTER they have been accepted into queen's md program. so it would make sense that the deposit balance appears after your id has been activated. however, this year they are giving everyone an account so people's "balances" kick in a certain number of hours after they have activated their account. it would explain the few number of people with balances showing (people who registered yesterday). i myself registered 5 pm yesterday and the balance showed up this morning.

spot Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 JJ88, How did you register yesterday if you're already a Queen's student? I went to Queen's a few years back, and I just logged in with my normal ID and followed the links - no registration per se... ok, people really need to stop worrying. this is probably nothing.here is what i think: the netid system usually is for people AFTER they have been accepted into queen's md program. so it would make sense that the deposit balance appears after your id has been activated. however, this year they are giving everyone an account so people's "balances" kick in a certain number of hours after they have activated their account. it would explain the few number of people with balances showing (people who registered yesterday). i myself registered 5 pm yesterday and the balance showed up this morning.

simpy Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 The netID speculation is nothing. All Queen's students, including normal undergrads, have a number, some combination of their initials, and occasionally a random number following. So the first years this year are all "9(initials)(maybe random number)." The year before they were 8s, etc. It's just random and has nothing to do with rankings.

JJ88 Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 hmm by register i meant click the admissions link etc. i assumed that was how everyone did it JJ88, How did you register yesterday if you're already a Queen's student?

summery Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 I registered today only and had the balance immediately. So there goes that theory. I registered today (Tuesday) also. In fact, i registered after my friend called me (he was checking pm101 all morning) and told me about the whole deposit confusion. I recall it was around 3 pm, and when i logged on, the balance was already there. And for the record, my net ID is only 5 characters: 0, my initials, and a two digit number...

Comeon Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 2 digit number = less than 100 = you are in. I think I only brought up the ID speculation because my number was close to 100 and I could start to believe that I had a chance. May 5th is too far away and I need some closure soon or I will go crazy. I registered today (Tuesday) also.

premed909 Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 i think the digits at the end are only if someone else has the same initials, hence the digits at the end since the username has to be unique Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.ninja. Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 2 digit number = less than 100 = you are in. two digit number + no deposit one of the theories has to be wrong. Can we just skip this whole dread of april exams + waiting and it be May 5th already? I can't help but still slightly believe that deposit = admission, but I'm going to hope it didn't, and that queens and technology just don't get along.

bj89 Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 Seriously people? There's no way they would put your "rank" as the last digits of your ID. I only had two digits after my initials, which according to your conspiracy theory, would rank me in the class of 100 - but I didn't have a balance showing when I checked this morning (~930-10AM) (this is all assuming that the balance owing even meant an acceptance). Just stop feeding the discussion with conspiracies!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neuronix Posted April 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 lol, my net id is 0-myinitials-1 what does THAT mean?! haha i love throwing wrenches into theories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
summery Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 lol, i think the digits are speculation too - there is no way I could've ranked that high! May 5th please come soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLAV Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 lolol the digit thing is the most ridiculous speculation ever we're given SOLUS accounts not med accounts SOLUS is for every student at queens and the numbers are for differentiating students with the same initials.

Cheezwhiz2 Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 You got a deposit? You should call all the other schools you interviewed at an withdraw your application. Sounds like a stupid idea, right? Because its directly proportional to how stupid the deposit = acceptance idea is. Still winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrail Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 Anyone try to log into my queen's and then SOLUS today? I'm getting an error message. Maybe they're trying to fix what ever problem occured yesterday. Although I would LOVE to go to Queen's and think the program is awesome, I am still surprised about the interview email confusion, spelling/grammatical errors on the web page, and then this possible mix up with deposits showing randomly. Only 22 days to go... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andie Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 Ok folks. There is no code in the solus IDs. My student ID and solus ID are the same as back when I was an undergrad. They used to give everyone in the same year the first numerical digit, then your initials. If there was more than one person with that same combination, they start adding more numerical digits to the end. That's it. No code. Relax.

med1988 Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 I just talked to someone who's gone through residency matches a few times- he mentioned that every year there have been glitches with CarMs and USMLE applications as well - i.e. that when they opened an account, some had a different msgs than other, or some got an email where others didn't. If Queen's said it was just a glitch and didn't mean anything, that's most likely what it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neuronix Posted April 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 how can you go through residency matches a few times? that doesn't make any sense. Also, USMLE is an exam, not a matching service AFAIK. You're probably right though, it was probably just a glitch - albeit a very weird one.
