next.med88 Posted May 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 can we assume that all invites have been posted all at once? Ya, I am pretty sure they all go at once (or at least within 20 minutes of one another) Here is to another two weeks of waiting...kinda just wish I could have closure right now...

Recoil Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 I have seen people saying only 40 people got accepted today. Is there any truth to this claim? 53 new members got added to the 2016-2017 manitoba med school year facebook group. (since noon today) So, at least that many received acceptances. Edit: a few may be upper years, so, might be closer to the mid 40's. Mind you it's only based on ppl added to that facebook group Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

next.med88 Posted May 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 The manitoba medicine class of 2020 group has only gotten 17 more members since yesterday and they all seem to be people who got accepted today (facebook stalker...I know) Hopefully they only add accepted students for a bit so we get a clearer image of how many people truly got in!

Yea the 3 admins on that page are our class president and two of our reps, so they will only be accepting 'accepted' students. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melatonin2015 Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 I have seen people saying only 40 people got accepted today. Is there any truth to this claim? Interesting! Where did they get this information from? I think there might be some truth to that considering how awfully slow the class of 2020 fb page is increasing in members. I'm also curious why they sent so little offers this year (if they did) compared to the past few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed that page also and thought the same thing too! I'm thinking it could potentially have something to do with the new MCAT, though I'm not 100% sure, either way, hopefully there were only 50-60 letters sent out today at most, so that there are still plenty of seats for the June 1 date.

I see! Looks like the fb group only has about 20 members so far, I remember last year easily 50+ were added on the first day. I guess that's good news for us! What do you mean it has to do with the new mcat, why would that make them sent less offers this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manmed837 Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 Does anybody know if interviewers need to rank the members within the 12 person tract? Is it possible for for everyone within the same interview group to score well? Or are they comparing you to one another? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
next.med88 Posted May 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 I don't think they rank you (ie. the best person scores 12, and the worst person automatically scores 1) since they use a 7 point scale to evaluate you. But you are still somewhat compared to others in your group, but I think they standardize the scores afterwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that's good news for us! What do you mean it has to do with the new mcat, why would that make them sent less offers this year? I was thinking they might want to make sure that they compare the old and new MCAT properly. Also, I think roughly 50 people got in to the MB pool. There are 41 members in the group right now that are accepted Med1 students (2 are going in Med2 actually and help coordinate the page for us), but some of those could be OOP or got in from the Aboriginal pool like the one individual in the "Accepted/Waitlisted/Rejected.." thread so there could be that half the seats are left. I know a couple people that are in but aren't in the group so at worst, maybe 60 people might have got in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't really make sense that they would release any letters at all if they were worried about the comparison of the two exams. But it may explain why we all found out slightly later than last year.

But it may explain why we all found out slightly later than last year. Well that's also assuming the ones that got in had really good interviews that the slight variations in MCAT scores would be negligible on their chances. These are just speculations as to why so few letters were given out on the first day compared to last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InstantRamen Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 Hmmm that's a fair thought, but I hope that they figured out the MCAT stuff when they decided who got the interview, since it's worth ~70% pre-interview. I guess we'll find out soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
