AlphaMagnum Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 Hello! I've been accepted to Mac but was planning to wait until Monday, May 27th to make a final decision regarding which medical school I'd like to attend. It just occurred to me that Mac needs that form and deposit sent by May 28th, in addition to accepting via OMSAS. Now, if I mail the form out on Monday in the provided envelope, there's no way it could possibly reach them by the 28th, though of course the online acceptance will reach them on time. Is this a problem? Do I need to stuff Mac's provided envelope into an overnight express mail envelope (and then use the overnight post service) in order to make sure that my acceptance is registered smoothly? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tberry3 Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 I'd give Wendy a call on Monday. I had some issues sending my forms in and she was really helpful and accommodating! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shady Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 Why not just scan and email or fax the forms to their office? They want a check for $1000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holiday1001 Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 i asked the exact same question year. Answer is pasted below. we need to have received your response by May 29th, but we will be flexible if you package is delayed and we’ve heard from you/know it’s coming. If you have accepted via OMSAS by the 29th, this goes a long way in holding your spot if your paperwork is delayed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiverCityJill Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 Did those who sent in offer acceptances get some kind of confirmation that they were received? I mailed mine in (and accepted on OMSAS) over a week ago and it occurred to me today that I haven't heard back. Should I have? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mailed mine in (and accepted on OMSAS) over a week ago and it occurred to me today that I haven't heard back. Should I have? Thanks! I got a confirmation yesterday from Sue Boyd. Also, I emailed them last Friday because I was beginning to worry, and they said as long as you've accepted on OMSAS and your form is in the mail, then you don't have to worry. They're probably overloaded with forms right now too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osteogeek Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 I went in and dropped my forms off yesterday to Sue (my acceptance package never came in the mail, so Wendy e-mailed me the package on Thursday afternoon and I definitely wasn't going to trust Canada Post to get them in on time since my package still hasn't made it to London!). She had a huge stack of forms and cheques, etc on her desk and seemed to be going through and filing/organizing them. I got an e-mail yesterday afternoon from her saying she'd received my forms, so if you haven't heard anything yet it probably wouldn't hurt to send her an e-mail and make sure she has it. I'm sure it's fine though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiverCityJill Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 I checked my junk mail when I read that you'd received the email from Sue Boyd rather than Wendy and voila! I received the email verifying the receipt of my form and check yesterday and one verifying that they also received my transcript today. Thanks for the info!

w_robin Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 I got a confirmation yesterday from Sue Boyd.

They're probably overloaded with forms right now too. Yes! DON'T WORRY! You got in. They're not about to drop you after all this work. Give it some time before e-mailing them to confirm receipt - the Admin Office has an MD program to run as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
