Donatello Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 I like to have a countdown to match day, might as well start today http://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/generic?iso=20130305T12&p0=188&msg=Match+Day How are people going to be spending the next two weeks and the morning of match day? I will be completing my last elective of med school Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NLengr Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 I can't emphasize enough that you should take match day off. It's the most important day of med school. You are either going to be very happy and want to celebrate, or crushingly disappointed and not want to work. In fact, I also recommend taking the next day off too, so you can party match day night (or drink your sorrows away...). I tell all my med students the same thing. If they show up match day, I immediately send them home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a very strange day - I think I will be seeking some calm distant location to check my results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lactic Folly Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Likewise, I picked up a shift as a poll clerk for the university students' union election, and was sitting in the rec centre when I checked my results. Wishing the best to all those who are waiting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the fact it's Western, I'm surprised they don't have mandatory beatings for you guys that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdnmaple Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 those are optional. I see Western hasn't changed. It gives you character! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmorelan Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 I see Western hasn't changed. It gives you character! hehehe - the 36 hours around match day will be pretty intense at Western (as with every where else) there are at least 3 major parties going on to distract us - including the night before unmatch party I believe (dress up as what you will be doing if you don't match).

astudentis Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 12.5 days! I couldn't imagine the algorithm taking more than a few hours to run (if not minutes)... i wonder if they already have preliminary match results and they just have to hand verify everything... opinions?

Yeah as I understand it they do We asked that question to them last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmorelan Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 For the sake of completeness - 10 days left (or technically 9.5 days, if you are tracking it that closely you probably are in for a long wait ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rankin Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 I have some colleagues that got an email stating they matched today (they interviewed for FM and IM in Ontario). Did anyone else get this email? Does this mean if we didn't get a email today that said we matched that we didn't match? I'm really shocked they didn't announce that today would be the day we found out if we matched or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they went through CaRMS as a CMG, they're liars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
