jmira Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 Does anyone know how many invites Ottawa typically sends out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleming Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 Hey guys, Congrats to everyone who received invites! My interview date for Ottawa is the exact same as for McMaster. Do you think this warrants a phone call? Or would an email replying to the interview invite be sufficient? Do conflicting interviews with other Ontario medical schools qualify as "exceptional circumstances?" Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monika Chao Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 Hey guys, Congrats to everyone who received invites! My interview date for Ottawa is the exact same as for McMaster. Do you think this warrants a phone call? Or would an email replying to the interview invite be sufficient? Do conflicting interviews with other Ontario medical schools qualify as "exceptional circumstances?" Thanks! That happened to me last year. I e-mailed uOttawa and they changed my date for me. Hope that helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopeful Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 Does Ottawa usually send them out in groups? I haven't received an email but everyone on the other forum who posted was an invite. Possible that rejections are later? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j17f Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 For those who received invites, did you use activities that you completed during your graduate studies as your Top 3? They say "only during your postsecondary (undergraduate) studies" on their website, and they say "only your undergraduate studies" when you call and email them, yet I feel like (from the few invites that have already been posted) they DID look at activities completed after undergrad to determine who receives an interview.

xkittens Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 Does Ottawa usually send them out in groups? I haven't received an email but everyone on the other forum who posted was an invite. Possible that rejections are later? Last year it seemed like they sent out all the invites within a couple minutes of each other, and then all the rejections like half an hour later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think this warrants a phone call? Or would an email replying to the interview invite be sufficient? Do conflicting interviews with other Ontario medical schools qualify as "exceptional circumstances?" Thanks! Definitely warrants a phone call.

RichardHammond Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 No invite for me yet but I have a friend who included something not in undergrad but from pharm school and still got an invite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starryskies Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 I know someone who got an invite, and I'm hoping I got one too, but from what someone said earlier, I'm not holding my breath anymore. My gPa is good,and my ECs are similar to the person invited, so I can hope, but I doubt it sincerely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My gPa is good,and my ECs are similar to the person invited, so I can hope, but I doubt it sincerely. Same. It's been around 40 minutes since they started sending invite so my hope is dwindling quickly. But there are usually a LOT more posts by this long after. I think the emails are slow going out for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roro2555 Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 Did anyone who get their invite email have half of it weirdly cut off...i know it makes no sense but I don't know what happened with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airborne Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 It's my third application (interviewed twice) and I still haven't received anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Recoil Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 Same. It's been around 40 minutes since they started sending invite so my hope is dwindling quickly. But there are usually a LOT more posts by this long after. I think the emails are slow going out for some reason. When i just checked there were 218 people viewing the Uottawa forum and 7 posta with interview decisions, so I definitely think only a portion have gone out. I don't even know why I'm here, I didn't apply to this school, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birdy Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 Those who received invites: is the time stamp the same as when you received it? Sometimes there can be a delay due to overloaded mail servers so something may be time stamped as sent at a particular time, but you receive it a bit later. For instance, I have an email in my inbox right now time stamped as 11:38 which I received at 11:52 according to my phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E101 Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 For those who got invites, it says to provide written confirmation, but is there a form that we fill out and scan in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
