Cass Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Guess I won't be checking this thread too much until next week then. I wonder why MAC is taking a bit longer this year than last... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muhgel Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Yea Ott confirmed it's Jan 31. With respect to Mac, I'll just assume it comes next week so that if it's this week it ends up being an/a (un)pleasant surprise! How did you know that Ottawa and Calgary are sending out invites/rejections on Jan 31st? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bronte99 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 It's now been 365 days since Mac last sent out invites. My best guess is that they'll be out on Monday! Last year the 24th was the last Monday of January, and this year the 30th is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anon1234 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 could someone please tell me if mac sends all responses together on the same day (all invites and all rejections) or if they send them in batches? thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medbat Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 eek invites are so soon!I'm so excited and nervous at the same time. Ironically, that's how you'll feel on the 24 hour period from the 30th to the 31st where Ottawa, Mac, Queens all release. How exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atesme Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 I think the worst part of it all is that everyone ELSE keeps asking me about it... it just intensifies the pressure and I can't bear to imagine having to deal with their condolences...

I tell people "I might get something this week" when they ask, which eventually turns into "I might get something next week", and subsequent repeats... wish some schools (i.e. Mac, Queen's) could improve communication to applicants like Toronto and Western...

AKY Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 You guys are so smart :/ I wish I hadn't told anyone I was even thinking of going for medicine.. That is the advice I would give to someone in Grade 12. Whenever I see extended family/in-laws/friends I haven't seen for a while then this is what you are always asked about.. It is nice because they are interested, at the same time, I think I have had to explain how admissions system works like 3 times to the same person before.. And you also get some people who already think you are studying to be a doctor. On top of that is all the pressure to actually get in now that you've told everyone you are going for it :/ Anyways, waiting with anticipation for Mac invites.

What until you get in and have to explain CARMS, residency and fellowships as well They don't get any of that it seems - I have had to explain it to my mother 3 times already and I still don't think I am getting through. There just isn't a lot of other things to related to I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmorelan Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 oh only reason I told my parents even in August was because my brother blurted it out at my cousins wedding. He had a little too much to drink. I was hoping to spring white coat on them as a surprise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funnyboy6 Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 I hope they tell us about interviews asap--that way, if needed, I can coordinate both queens and mac. The last thing i want is to have 2 interviews in one day lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dassy Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 To try and ease my anxiety I went and stalked last year's invite thread....*warning*does not actually lower anxiety!!*warning* It seems the lowest gpa invite was ~3.45 with a 13 in verbal....I am now praying so hard for an invite considering a 3.33 and 14 (stupid first year...grumble...) I didn't even see anyone there post with below that ~3.5 GPA. Wish the emails would just be sent already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
