trojjanhorse Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 Pretty nervous, but I'm distracted by writing my PhD thesis. I'm scared that I might be too nervous to even pay attention Game of Thrones this week That's impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockeynut Posted May 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 That's impossible. I can't be the only one who thinks game of thrones is boring, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmatt1122 Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 I can't be the only one who thinks game of thrones is boring, right? How much have you watched? I thought the same thing at first, but it really is a spectacular series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savac Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 I've never seen it either. It's ON my to-do list, I just don't know when I'll get around to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exocytosis Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 I highly recommend True Detective. It's only 8 episodes, so there's lots of time to start and finish it before the 13th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmatt1122 Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 I highly recommend True Detective. It's only 8 episodes, so there's lots of time to start and finish it before the 13th. Agreed. Rick and Morty, House of Cards, and Suits are also all awesome shows to check out if you're looking for even more to kill time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmatt1122 Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 What are everyone's plans post acceptance?? Apart from the obvious consumption of copious amounts of EtOH lol Lots of celebrating/EtOH. Quitting my job/reducing hours. Planning travel. Doing said travelling. Planning for the fall (move/apartment/furniture/etc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarvish Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 What are everyone's plans post acceptance?? Apart from the obvious consumption of copious amounts of EtOH lol Trying not to think that far ahead so a rejection would hurt less. But yes, I would be able to drop a lot of volunteering and have some time to myself to just relax. If I'm lucky, I can go on my first vacation ever too.

Hockeynut Posted May 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 I genuinely don't know what I'd do. Maybe take a trip somewhere (Always wanted to ride Moab's slickrock) . I'd like to keep volunteering as everything I'm doing I enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Engineer Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 On Tuesday morning when the acceptance information is released will we receive an email from OMSAS saying what the status is at each school we interviewed with or will the email only contain information needed to log into a website which will ultimately contain the desired information? Also can someone confirm that high waitlist and closer to an offer than low waitlist? This seems right to me but I'd like to confirm. What, roughly, are the chances of moving off a high waitlist and into an offer position? I know that it varies school to school and year to year. This is my first time through the application cycle.

jmatt1122 Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 I'm really not sure. I thought we'd be getting e-mails from the individual schools. I'm almost positive that we have to accept or decline offers via OMSAS's SAM (Secure Applicant Messaging) application, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serine Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Yes, as far as I know, individual schools send the emails but offers have to be accepted via SAM by logging onto your OMSAS account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dassy Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 As far as I remember, but someone may correct me, SAM doesn't ever change. It just allows you to say I'd like to accept this school from a list of the schools you applied to. Can someone who was accepted verify this? Also every school emails you separately with results, except queens which emails and has an online site to check. Most schools don't reveal ?) you will have a very good shot if you're on the good waitlist. hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osteogeek Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 That's correct, SAM didn't ever have a list of offers. There was just an option to accept an offer from a school in the dropdown (but there were schools listed that I hadn't even applied to). The e-mails from the schools/online portal for Queens are how you find out. I was totally paranoid that I did it wrong because of how SAM is laid out, haha.
