Date Speculation?

[RicardoKaká 303]

Hey everyone,

 

Just wondering when you guys think we should expect to hear about interview invites/rejections.

 

The interview weekend seems to be November 19th/20th this year (2016), whereas last year it was November 21st/22nd I believe.

 

Invites/Rejections were sent out October 26th last year, so I guess we can expect the date to be October 24th for the 2016-2017 cycle?

 

Just wondering what everyone else thinks!

My money is on the week before - as I understand it, there was a delay last year because of unforeseen issues with the new MCAT. They've definitely got a handle on that by now (fingers crossed), and I remember reading somewhere that Dal tries to give applicants as close to a full month as possible to make arrangements for interview accommodations, etc.

 

Here's hoping for news on the 17th!

[RicardoKaká 303]

Oh really, that makes more sense. I read about the notices going out a month before, but when I was analyzing last year's invite thread, that didn't seem to hold. But the introduction of the new MCAT delaying things makes a lot more sense now.

 

Well definitely cannot complain about hearing a bit sooner than I anticipated

Likely late next week or the week after. Judging from older posts:

2014 - Oct 20th

2013 - Oct 25th

2012 - Oct 24th

 

Will not get my hopes up as an OOP though.

Guess today is not the day.

[MD_WOLF 3]

it can still come out any day this week though

[RicardoKaká 303]

Just called the office, they said that they are trying to get them out this week (but no guarantees), however if not, definitely will be out sometime next week.

Anyone have an idea of when invites will be going out this year? I know in earlier years it’s been beginning of March, however now it seems that mid March is more plausible

[PulsusParadoxus 46]

In 2014 it was March 11, last year it was March 14th. 

Both were Tuesdays during the mid-term break for medical students. My bet is that it will be March 13th this year.

Sounds about right. Thank you for your input!

Feeling anxious hbu?

[hartk48 135]

Im dying here  

[LeafsFan89 8]

I just always find myself day dreaming about opening up an acceptance letter and being on top of the world... but then I try to stop myself to avoid potential disappointment 

[hartk48 135]

3 weeks from today  

[LeafsFan89 8]

You think it’ll be the Tuesday of that week?

[hartk48 135]

No way to ever know, but @MTHFR677‘s prediction is the best one we have

[LeafsFan89 8]

Yea fair enough. Last year it landed on the Tuesday of that week as well. 

[hartk48 135]

Called right now and although the lady on the phone was very careful not to give me an exact date, she said they *may* announce decisions earlier than last few years..... *may*

That means our fates are already sealed, they are probably just dealing with logistics

[LeafsFan89 8]

So we thinking next week then....???

The website says March, so could be as early as tomorrow (March 1st) but I doubt that lol. I'm thinking next week too

[MedHopeful930569 1]

I can't take this much longer lol I really want to know either way! My prediction is March 6th

[LeafsFan89 8]

I may be wrong but I vaguely remember the site saying Mid March. And now it just says March...

Just to give you some insight......tomorrow is Residency Match Day for the 4th year med students. I realize that results are released via CaRMS, but I have a feeling that the school would not send out acceptances the same day as match day. Fingers crossed I am wrong though!!
