kch128 Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 I applied several years ago (IP) and was wait-listed but never got in. I decided to try again this year, and unfortunately have been wait-listed again. My best 2-year average is 83.9% & I placed in the 3rd decile on the MMI. Having heard that several people got in off the WL on the 30th, I am starting to lose hope. Not sure if I will try again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surgimus Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Looks like the WL is moving! My bud just got in off of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kch128 Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Thanks Surgimus. Will he let you tell us his STATS? It might give the rest of us still on the waitlist an idea of where we stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reminisce Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Yep, WL is definitely moving, friend of mine got in. She's very very very happy! Unfortunately shes not the type to share her stats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surgimus Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 She told me 86% and 4th! Apparently the WL is 20 people long, and today is the first day they've started to make offers off of the WL, after they met at 12 today. They'll keep 1 or 2 people on the WL all the way until the first week of school, just in case. They chose today because May 30 is the deadline for the $500 deposit to secure your spot.

reminisce Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 just heard about another one off the WL. don't lose hope yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kch128 Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 Do you guys know how long the wait-listed people offered seats have to respond? Just trying to get an idea if there might be a second round offering sometime in June. This waiting is really getting to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surgimus Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 Hi kch128, I can imagine the waitlist wait must be a tough time for sure. Based on the facebook group, it looks like it has moved about 3 peoples in terms of acceptances. I heard it was 20 to start with and a few people will be kept on the waitlist all the way until the first week of school even. I know one other person on the WL with an 85% 2nd. Hopefully things work out for ya and you find out soon. Some of the class is planning a little get together in late July! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azby228 Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 Hi I just got in off the IP waiting list today, but will most likely be deferring for a year to finish grad school. So another spot should be opening up soon. Good luck to everyone still waiting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ninjaface Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 Accepted. IP, Yukon. 4.0 gpa, MSc. with pubs, lots of 3rd world travel and volunteering, 33O. I also applied to U of A where I was accepted and U of C where I was waitlisted. I will be going with U of A as my first choice school. U of S did intrigue me, but I already went to a smaller school and the pros and cons that come with that for my MSc and Undergrad (U of Lethbridge), and so am attracted to the novelty of a 'big' school. SO, one spot free on the waitlist. COngrats to whoever gets it and all of their classmates! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
