kaykiddo Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Has anyone heard anything about Calgary sending out invites earlier than the May 13th deadline this year? At the interview, Dr.Walker mentioned last year's invites went out May 1st..although he did say they wouldn't be released that early, if at all, for this year's application cycle. Just curious is all. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyperalgesia Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 And last year was the 8th, I think. Yup, last year was May 8th. A very unexpected week in advance haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyperalgesia Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 Just curious, did Dr. walker mention anything about when the release date was last year? even before the invites were let out on may 8. Last year Dr. Walker posted on the blog that there was no way they would release early, that May 15th was definite. He said they would try to pull it off a few days before that if possible, but no promises. And then Bam! A full week early haha. I am definitely not trying to get anyone's hopes up for an early release, as what happened last year may not happen this year! But that's how it went down.

sasktime Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 This one might more likely be a harder deadline just because he posted that ADCOM's final meeting is on the 12th or 13th? So it seems improbable that they would release before this final meeting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

00Jay Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 I'm sure they could still change it. I think they are like us and have nothing to do in the meantime. SO, wouldnt it be best for everyone if they just sat down and GOT 'ER DONE!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

00Jay Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 "Accomodate their scheduless eh?" How about our schedules if we learn we have to move in two months time!

MicroMo Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 If I have learned anything from my numerous years applying to UC Med is that they will NEVER do what you expect re: interview invites, final invites Best thing to do is just stop trying to predict it and be ready for anything over the next few weeks. I know I speak for all of us who deferred and are starting this year, we can't WAIT to see who our classmates are. 2017ers will be epic. Best of luck everyone!

amichel Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Judging by twitter, it looks like it really is going to be May 14th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
00Jay Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Thats not the worst. it will come after the ontario releases so 1) there will be waitlist movement immediately and 2) it provides some of us with one last ray of hope if nothing else works out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeBronto2019 Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 alcohol was made for times like these. numb the pain of waiting for a week then worry about fixing your liver after your acceptance! or continue ruining it with waitlisted/rejection...
