mountainaxe46 Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 So they don't email rejections and don't give an exact day of when the email interview invitations will be sent? This adds to the frustration as some just assume it's slow mail as opposed to a rejection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markov79 Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 that was funny too LOL. i still like manitoba's stunt... i'm pretty sure they changed the date that invites went out on the day of LOL. ie. they were supposed to go out on jan 10, and then on jan 10 they changed their website to say invites would go out on jan 11 LOL. at least i think that's what they did... don't wanna get caught pseudo-libeling anyone...

bearpuppy Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 seems like the answer to this is yes.. if you didnt receive an email around 1:15PM ontario time, then you are not being invited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tberry3 Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 seems like the answer to this is yes.. if you didnt receive an email around 1:15PM ontario time, then you are not being invited Just a heads up for everybody: my email didn't arrive until after 3:00. It was time stamped 1:11 but didn't show up until two hours later (and I was on my computer/monitoring my inbox - and junk mail - the whole time).

Hanmari Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 Alpha on the other thread just received an invite timestamped at around 3pm EST - any chance they might be sending out a second batch of invites? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaMagnum Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 Alpha on the other thread just received an invite timestamped at around 3pm EST - any chance they might be sending out a second batch of invites? I fixed it. I didn't realize the timestamp would differ so considerably from GMail's system. Unfortunately mine was stamped 12:15 Saskatchewan time, so 1:15 in Hamilton. Looks like I didn't buck the trend; please accept my sincere apologies for any confusion and/or stress resulting from my mishap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markov79 Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 trying to keep it light... i thought it worth mentioning that i've apparently been watching you guys in this and the invite thread very closely today. i typed in "mcmaster" to go to their med admissions site to see if they posted anything. after typing in "mcmaster", i hit the down arrow and enter, assuming that it'd be their website. it took me to the invite thread page lol. meh. sorry if that's not amusing LOL.

drtrumpet Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 just called admissions. asked that if you haven't heard today via email whether you've not been invited for an interview. receptionist said 'most likely'. I feel really crushed about this, but I guess that's the way things turn out sometimes. I had a 13 VR (36 Q overall), and an OMSAS GPA of 3.72 (although at UofT it's a 3.9, and at mcGill, where I go, it's a 3.8). I thought casper went well, but I guess not...I tend to have strong opinions on controversial issues and may have eliminated myself based on this .

AMS1989 Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 Hey drtrumpet, Why would your OMSAS GPA be a 3.8 at McGill? I go to McGill too and from what I understand, they don't have any sort of weighting system? just called admissions. asked that if you haven't heard today via email whether you've not been invited for an interview. receptionist said 'most likely'.

I go to McGill too and from what I understand, they don't have any sort of weighting system? What I mean is that my GPA at McGill is a 3.8. I guess OMSAS 'adjusted' them to somehow drop to a 3.72. I have a few P/F courses, and a few summer courses which were counted for OMSAS but not McGill, but I never imagined it would drop my GPA so much.

bearpuppy Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 Just a FYI that McMaster's MD admissions facebook and twitter pages confirm that people who were invited should've received an email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
