Whodey Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 How long do you have to accept your Calgary offer, if you get one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MicroMo Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 Everyone who got Ontario offers, ACCEPT THEM!!! Get paid more and give us Albertans a chance to go to medical school and get paid less. Thanksssssssss!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordynbreanne Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 How long do you have to accept your Calgary offer, if you get one? Ten days for the first round, and progressively less towards the program start date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Pixie* Posted May 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 Any news from Ontario applicants who are Alberta IPs?

*Pixie* Posted May 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 Made it! IP. Still waiting on U of A and U of C before we make any decisions. Congrats Para D!!!! Celebrating already?? What's your first choice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobs Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 Congrats Para D! I was accepted to Queen's and Mac, but I REALLY want to stay in Calgary! Second choice is Mac. Fingers crossed for all of us next week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooty Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 I'd accept an offer at ANY Ontario school in a heartbeat. Alberta schools are okay, but Ontario schools are a different rank altogether, drastically affecting your salary as a doctor (or so I've been told In Short: Good luck to all of you, and thank your lucky stars if you get into an Ontario school! Everything Medguy says is true. Ontario-trained doctors get paid 402.7% more than Calgary trained doctors on average. SO: think of your future. Accept positions in Ontario-based schools. Yeah, I can confirm that this is true. Go to Ontario! I also confirm all of this is true by virtue of my mod powers. Calgary trained doctors make 250k on average while ontario trained doctors make a cool 1.25 mil. They're doing something right over there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erk Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 Will you help me move if I chose Ontario? Congrats on Queens dude! I guess the rest of the wait must not be quite so bad now that you have a safety net? You're the one exception: if you don't go to U of C I might wind up the only ~30yo med student with a family. Plus you're in Edmonton so I can't help you move. I'm afraid of Edmonton. I hear there are polar bears in the sewers. Edit: Congrats Bobs too! and anyone else that got an Ontario acceptance. Great job everyone I'm feeling a bit less terrified for next week now that people I know are getting acceptances... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Pixie* Posted May 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 Congratulations to all of you with good new from Ontario!!!! I teared up yesterday when reading all the successful and unsuccessful (and in between) posts yesterday... I am with the rest of you guys - after hearing about the acceptances I feel less frightened but more anxious at the same time about May 13th:o 6 days and 13 hours until THAT day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medtech Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 I was glad I got accepted in Ontario, but surprisingly I'd rather move a couple provinces over and attend U of C. Probably due to the mountains, the faculty and students I've met (especially Dr. Walker) or the 3 year program. Regardless, best of luck to everyone . If I'm on the waitlist for U of C, i'll remove myself from it and help it move along Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like I'm in limbo and I can't start planning the next 3-4 years of my life until next Friday. Accepted at McMaster and Queen's? I'd be doing the limbo if I were you too...and the mambo and the samba. Good job mate; good luck at UofC too (but I selfishly hope you accept Queen's).

Good job mate; good luck at UofC too (but I selfishly hope you accept Queen's). I am totally thrilled - its a great feeling to know that I'll be going to med school this year SOMEWHERE! It's just going to be nice to know whether I will stay here, or if I have to move (and sell my condo, help my partner find a job, etc. etc.). Believe me, I'm not complaining! It's a great problem to have! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaVen777 Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 5 days and 15 hours Anybody out there doesn't have UofC as their first choice? (gotta know:p ) If I were so lucky to have an acceptance at UBC and UofC, it would be a tough choice, as I'm originally from the Vancouver area and have a lot of friends and family out there. I could see myself going for UBC, even though I like the impression I got at UofC and UofA more. In the end, I really do feel like things could go any way on the 13th, but I have plenty of hope that I will have some good news on the big day. 5 Days! I'm not even losing sleep yet. I think 1 or 2 days before will start to cause some serious stress for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see myself going for UBC, even though I like the impression I got at UofC and UofA more. I feel the exact same way...would love to stay in Vancouver because it's home, but at the same time, I feel like I might get more out of UofC's program. Anyone have any input??

covarubious Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 35 here about to do a new undergrad of being out of school for 11 years lol Scared? Me? You betcha lol Age ain't nothing but a number. Graduating at 35 from undergrad, started at 31 and have been top of my class from first year, held down 3 jobs and ran a bunch of student groups. Think of it as having enough life experience to know what you really want and let that knowledge mativate you to kick ass and take names!
