kaminscm Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 Does anyone know how far the waitlist moved in previous years? I know 2016 moved 37 spots, but what about 2015, 14, etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Drake Ramoray Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 Result: Waitlist GPA: 89.2 % IP AA 21 PAT 22 Interview: Felt nervous for the first 2-3 questions and I think that the interviewers clearly noticed this. Thought I ended it strong but guess it wasn't good enough for an offer! Year of study : M.Sc completed ABS/PS: Had essays reviewed by many healthcare professionals and felt very good about them. Lots of research experience, volunteering, work and a little shadowing (~20 hours) Declining waitlist for UofT offer. Admissions said I have a good chance of acceptance in their email. Hopefully that opens a spot for another worthy candidate. Good luck to all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teeth2017 Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 I emailed the admissions department about the likelihood of getting in based on my wait list position and they told me they don't provide any additional information regarding this. How is everyone getting this info? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetstream Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 That happened to my friend too. Maybe there's a third email they send out for people in the middle or maybe they just got frustrated with all the emails? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waves Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 Schulich Medicine has been doing this "waitlist likelihood" thing for a while now, and it's been like this: High"In recent years, applicants in your position on the Wait List have received an offer of admission."Normal"Although you were not ranked to receive an offer at this time, it was recommended that your name be placed on our Wait List. Any offer that is not accepted will be filled by an individual from the Wait List."Low"Although you were not ranked to receive an offer at this time, it was recommended that your name be placed on our Wait List. In recent years, applicants in your position on the Wait List have not received an offer of admission. While there are no certainties, we wanted to communicate this information to you in an attempt to allow you to be as informed as possible in making decisions about your future."So, maybe it's a third category?EDIT: Wanted to add what I PM'd another member. I believe this is the first year that Schulich Dentistry has given out information like this regarding the waitlist, but Schulich Medicine has been doing it for many years now. The dentistry faculty is also following medicine in terms of the new 3.0/5.0 rule next cycle, as well as an interview format that is similar to medicine (ditching the CDA style), so if the trend of following Schulich Medicine is continuing, then I believe it's likely that they have the three waitlist categories as well! This is all my own speculation though, I don't believe anyone knows any other information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, maybe it's a third category? Thanks for clarifying. It makes sense now. The 3 categories you mentioned are consistent with the emails they sent this year.
