I heard invites started going out yesterday, and I honestly wasn’t expecting to hear anything so soon (if at all)…

Dear Joshua,

I am writing to inform you that the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Toronto has selected you for an interview.

Your interview will be held on Saturday, February 21st, 2009..

… but I’ll take good news any time! =)

Still a bit concerned as that falls in my exam period, but hopefully I get lucky and the two don’t conflict. I’m also going to see if I can find out about my exam dates a bit earlier.

I guess I’d better start doing some homework and interview prep stuff now!

Update:

So when I told my dad about half an hour ago about the good news, he suggested that I ask to see if maybe I could move my interview to the next interview weekend – since only the first group of invites has been sent out, there’s a good chance that the next interview weekend is still empty and could accommodate me. So I figured, why not? So I asked, and got a really quick reply:

You are confirmed for Sunday, March 8th. All other information in the original e-mail remains the same. Please ensure that your photographs have your name on the back, prior to arrival. If you have any dietary restrictions, please let me know by return e-mail.

Oh wow, didn’t expect that so soon! Good to know that I don’t have to worry about having an exam at the same time now =)
