med28 Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 If we're honest with ourselves I think most people are still incessantly checking the thread even though there will be no news for another month or so. Anyone else feeling nervous ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birdy Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 If we're honest with ourselves I think most people are still incessantly checking the thread even though there will be no news for another month or so. Anyone else feeling nervous ? Yup! I really wish MUN would send out NB/PEI/OOP decisions in February too. MUN is my top choice; if they were to accept me, I would withdraw immediately from all other competitions and save the thousands I'm going to spend going to Ontario for interviews. But acceptances for MUN for PEI don't come out until just after Ontario interviews are over. I keep checking hoping someone has heard they changed their minds. :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else feeling nervous ? Yes, yes and yes. I'm so happy I'm not the only one! This cycle is driving me crazy. I'm both very excited but also sick about the whole thing! I agree with Birdy, I'm from NB and I really wish I could find out along with the NLers. Ever since it has turned Janurary 1st, 2015, my mind has been on one thing and one thing only.

I'd even be content with decisions being postponed until March and have everyone find out at the same time. Once one group of residents starts finding out, the anxiety will just continue to get worse for the rest of the applicants. You can't help but feel happy for them, but also a little bit envious...

mmmun12 Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Yes! I think the reason they delay it is because up until Feb or so, they only look at Newfoundlanders' applications. Apparently the admissions team goes over every application rigorously. Then they take a look at OOP (this is only an idea I've come up with through compiling a bunch of things I've heard). It does suck that it takes a really long time, but it is nice to know that many pairs of eyes are looking at our applications, not just one.

It looks like they've already started looking at non-NLer applications. Recently got an email from them with a question about my application. Scared the crap outta me when I saw it.

I bet the fact that they are asking you questions is a good sign for you And all the email said was "Please contact admissions ASAP". Really got my heart pounding. As much as I wish it was a good sign, I doubt it really means anything. Sounded more administrative than anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they want to contact you because you are off the charts good, that they want you before any other medical school has the chance to swoop in and steal you.

mmmun12 Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 I have not. I know sometimes they contact people after christmas to ask for Fall transcripts if they had not been submitted yet. That's quite common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birdy Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 I have not been. Actually, I need to make sure my university sent my fall transcript. I haven't heard anything, but it couldn't hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they sent out the interview confirmation letters in October, at the bottom there was a section where they listed things remaining for your application. If you're currently attending school, you probably got an X beside: "An up to date transcript from ___________________ University when it becomes available" (aka after first semester) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're currently attending school, you probably got an X beside: "An up to date transcript from ___________________ University when it becomes available" (aka after first semester) I don't think there's a crazy rush though. When I got called for my interview (yeah, I forgot to check my junk folder haha) she said just send your transcripts when they become available. I told her mine would be a bit later since I'm doing my MHSc. and she said thats totally fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like do we send them to CarMs or to the univeristy itself? I'll call and ask, but thanks for clarifying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like do we send them to CarMs or to the univeristy itself? I'll call and ask, but thanks for clarifying! I was confused about it too... I thought that the transcripts I had sent for Sept hadn't gotten there so I called MUN's office and she told me to send them directly to CaRMS once my marks were released in December after first semester. I wouldn't worry about it , i'd just get them in as soon as you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you haven't sent it in yet, and admissions hasn't ask for it, it probably just means they haven't looked at your application in great detail yet (prob busy with NLers). Just send it in to CaRMS now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
