Hi guys,
Sorry, i should clarify things alittle more. To UofTGradStudent, I actually graduated from St. George's University (Carribean) this past June, i did my undergraduate at UofT. To PattyCanuck, i actually haven't received an invite yet, i was just asking if anyone else has got the same email as I did.Now that I've cleared that up, this was the email I received back on Dec 25th from IMG Family Medicine Ontario:
Dear applicant,

There will only be one interview if you apply to one or more of the above schools. Your interview score will be shared among the schools that you apply to.

When I got this email back on Dec 25th, I thought it was very weird to be getting an email on Xmas Day stating interview invites would be sent out on Dec 28th because most of the program directors and support staff would be on xmas vacation. Anywho, Dec 28th has past and I haven't received an email for an interview and/or rejection yet. Is it me, or does something smell fishy here??
I'm not trying to brag or anything, but I considered myself a competitive applicant; I've applied to FM programs in the US as well, and I have interviews at Cleveland Clinic, UMASS, UCONN, U of Maryland just to name a few. Anyways, maybe i'm just being paranoid.....congrats to those IMG's who've gotten invites so far.
Happy new year to everyone!
