Calgary Interview Discussion 2015

[nick]

Looks like we did peak at 163 users online. I still haven't gotten the e-mail, looks like more technical difficulties, but I guess we're not hearing today. I'll see all of you back here on the fifth for the same routine. Rest up, we've got a lot of stressing out ahead of us!

Dear UofC med admissions,

 

Never send an inconsequential email starting with "Unfortunately..." again.

Sincerely,

Everyone who reads their emails on their phone

hahaha ... maybe this is how they check if we can handle stress well!

finally got the e-mail a few seconds ago

[medlink]

I got third email from them 

[Mike4Med]

weird, i still didn't get one

[nick]

weird, i still didn't get one

 

I only have received one e-mail, and I got it later than the others. I wonder if the software is sending e-mails one-at-a-time in last-name alphabetical order, and crashing before it reaches the end. My last name is close to the end of the alphabet; is yours?

[Mike4Med]

no I'm at the very start... strange

[Mike4Med]

but so, if they figure out how to send the email to tell everyone they can't send emails, does that mean they can start sending emails?

[weirdfishes]

No email for me.

 

They just sent out a tweet saying they'd try again tomorrow.

 

Edit: just got the email!

Who knows exactly what the problem was, I just felt like some idle speculation 

[CoolBeans]

I think that UCAN crashed because we are all so awesome! It just couldn't handle how awesome we are!

[amichel]

I know it's hard, but I think it's a testament to the staff that they are waiting to ensure that everything goes smoothly, unlike multiple Ontario schools last year, who gave a lot of people extra stress by sending incorrect emails.

[docmm]

Anyone still not get an email? :S

[sunday]

wouldn't it be ironic if it was all of us refreshing ucan that caused this delay?

[Harvey Specter]

Lol. Epic troll job from the UofC admissions committee. 

[ShadowStar]

For those of you who got interview invites last year, do you remember if your pre-MMI scores were released on UCAN with interview invites? Or were they only released in May when decisions had been made?

I believe scores (including MMI scores, if applicable) were made available in July, regardless of whether you were rejected pre- or post-interview.

Nope. You know nothing going into the interview.

[ShadowStar]

Ah, I see. Thanks Sit + nick.

EMAIL IS OUT!

Does Calgary end up sending out the full file review (pre-interview) score prior to the interview? I know someone asked if there was a breakdown before the interview (I know that they don't do this), but I'm wondering if they send out the score beforehand. Thanks!

No.

Looks like the hurlyburly's done. Congratulations to everyone that still has a dog in this race, to those who were rejected: most of us have been there; it can be crushing, but there are many, many qualified applicants that don't get an interview -- this is a very small pond and a whole lot of fishermen.

[amichel]

Congratulations everyone! We're all looking forward to meeting you. Let me know if you have any questions.
