Guest steve Posted March 6, 2003 Report Share Posted March 6, 2003 Hey all, Got the thin envelope in Ottawa this morning! It's really too bad that Mac decided not to include the percentiles as I was hoping to get some sort of insight as to where I stood in the pile, but alas, no such luck. It's weird how you prepare youself for the worst, but when the worst happens, you're still unprepared! To all the fellow applicants, I hope you get a nice brown envelope in the mail today or tomorrow. To all of those that have been turned away, looks like we might be at the drawing board again next year together!!!!!!!!!!!! Good luck everyone (both in getting interviews and in succeeding at the interview!) Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest macdaddyeh Posted March 6, 2003 Report Share Posted March 6, 2003 Hang in there Steve. Thanks for sharing in the collective mourning for those who received their rejection letters. I wish you the best over the next few months. Take it easy:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guess whoz Bizzak Posted March 6, 2003 Report Share Posted March 6, 2003 Hey Steve, sorry to hear about your rejection. I am very impressed with your attitude though, and your well wishes for all of the other applicants. This really says a lot about your character Best of luck next year with Mac, or with other schools this year. ~JZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tappety tap Posted March 6, 2003 Report Share Posted March 6, 2003 Steve...you're definitely NOT alone...I got "thinveloped" in Ottawa today as well! :\ Very disappointing of course...but this is all part of the "game"! Hmm...thinking of it as a game makes it seem less severe somehow. :rolleyes Anyways, good luck to all the people still waiting and for the people that got interviews...wow, you guys should be sooooooo proud!

Guest FrenchyMed Posted March 6, 2003 Report Share Posted March 6, 2003 Hi Steve and tappety tap, sorry to hear for Mac. Hopefully, you have interviews elsewhere. What about Ottawa U? I also live in Ottawa and have not heard anything. I'm hoping that's a good thing. I'm thinking of leaving work early tomorrow to find out if I get any mail then... This is my first time applying to Med school. I have an interview in Ottawa (French) in April. I'm hoping that the stress levels go down between the interviews and June. I don't think I can stand this waiting and wondering until then!!! :x Hang in there guys! FrenchyMed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mumfirst Posted March 7, 2003 Report Share Posted March 7, 2003 Steve & tappety tap, Sorry to hear that the Ottawa posties did not bring better news today. I know it feels like a punch in the gut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest martyb Posted March 7, 2003 Report Share Posted March 7, 2003 I'm very sorry to hear about the thinveloping, Steve and tappety tap. I just had the same experience this morning. Ottawa's record isn't looking very good...hopefully you'll be able to represent our fair city in Hamilton, FrenchyMed. I've only applied to Ottawa and Mac, and still don't know about Ottawa. Good luck with other interviews or with next year's applications. martyb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FrenchyMed Posted March 7, 2003 Report Share Posted March 7, 2003 well, I'm leaving work to go home and check my mailbox... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FrenchyMed Posted March 7, 2003 Report Share Posted March 7, 2003 Well, I'm sorry to disappoint the Ottawa crowd. I guess Mac has something against us... Got thinveloped today. On the bright side, Ottawa U was my first choice and I got an interview there. The pressure is now on! Good luck to those who got an interview at Mac! I got my grad degree there and took classes in their graduate medical program. It's top notch. FrenchyMed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest martyb Posted March 8, 2003 Report Share Posted March 8, 2003 Sorry FrenchyMed. Don't worry, you didn't let us down. I'm sure someone from Ottawa will get in. Good luck with Ottawa! martyb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest carletongirl Posted March 9, 2003 Report Share Posted March 9, 2003 Hey guys, I'm so sorry that there hasn't been any good news in the Ottawa area to date. However, I will start the first batch of it. I got an interview to Mac for April 5th! I still can't believe it. Thanks to all who have participated on this site. It has been really thought provoking and has helped me deal with waiting for the news of the interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
