j17f Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 I deleted the contents of this post because I realized it could cause some undue stress for us on the waitlist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ingoditrust Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 I know that every year I see people questioning the relevance of the timestamp of emails, and I'm wondering if anyone knows if this has ever been important? I looked at last year's waitlist emails and it looked like people on the good waitlist (English) received emails at 7:58, and 7:59, and the one bad waitlisted applicant received their email at 8:01 am (English). Everyone who had an email at 7:58 was accepted off the waitlist, and some from the 7:59 am email were accepted (sadly I wasn't one of them). Looking through this year's posts it looks like people on the English waitlist received emails at either 7:37 or 7:38. hey man at this point I believe this is all unnecessary speculation and although everyone is trying to get some type of closure these theories will do nothing but create more anxiety and stress whats meant to be is meant to be my friend, only time will tell edit: even if I told you (which I am totally bullshitting) that time stamps correlated with waitlist status, would you even really believe me?

m_jacob_45 Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 Speaking from personal experience, don't over analyze the time stamps or you will drive yourself crazy. It will or will not happen either way. My advice is to keep yourself busy/ continue planning for the upcoming year. Good luck guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j17f Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 Yea I realize that I'm overanalyzing things lol. Even if this theory was true in the past, it is likely not relevant this year since they have one waitlist email. Although it will be interesting to see what happens.

Often it is just someone sitting in the office doing something that they feel like doing. I have had people freak out because the person sending things out had a doctors appointment that day for 1.5 hours, or take a coffee break. Next year a different person does it or whatever and the pattern changes. We squeeze and squeeze everything we can out of all the data - which is great - but taken to extremes you will go a bit nuts.

seventeenfour44 Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 Hey all I'm on two waitlists, and I was wondering if I were to get off a waitlist for one school (e.g., Ottawa) and accept, would I be automatically removed from the other waitlist (Queens)? Or will I still get an email from Queens if I were to get a spot off the waitlist (after accepting Ottawa). Just a random question I'm trying to be optimistic while in two ginormous waitlists (ottawa and queens) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thestar10 Posted May 20, 2017 Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 You would still get the queens email Incorrect. You can wait 2 weeks for the queens offer but if you accept you are removed from Queen's waitlist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EthicsForBreakfast Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 Man these past two weeks have been great on the waitlist idk about you guys but I just convinced myself it wasn't happening this year, switched into a four year degree, applied for TA jobs and did training for another and joined another summer class. I haven't been this productive in making sure I have a good year... well... ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EthicsForBreakfast Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 Is it a phone call or an email first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m_jacob_45 Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 They call you first. If they don't reach you, they immediately email you telling you to call them back. They don't email the actual offer until a few hours later. Good luck guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
