    • I thought that my original post was quite clear. I was asking a question on if the laboratory course being unfinished will affect my chances. I do not recall asking if my GPA or ECs were competitive enough, since I know my GPA is on the lower end and thus I already have an answer for that. If you lack reading comprehension, I apologize, but I thought I was very clear on which question I wanted answered, and going out of your way to re-emphasize that lots of people play instruments and have a higher GPA is something I’m already aware of and not related to my main question. 
    • Hi all, med-1 here, you guys can look at web archives for the waitlist website and check previous years.  Good luck
    • Do you have information on how its moved in past years, if so can you share it?
    • It’s more or less this as I understand. I have to wait until after second round to see if our university has funds to accept an outside transfer within our own specialty.  -current PD somewhere
    • Est-ce qu'il y a des gens qui se sont fait refuser depuis les invitations? J'ai de la difficulté à suivre la temporalité des vagues de refus...
    • Je crois qu'on avait déjà parlé de ça précédemment, mais en principe ça ne devrait pas changer grand chose. Ça reste qu'il y a des catégories d'admission à respecter. Normalement, à UL ça tourne autour de 55% de collégiens et 45% d'universitaires. Le nombre de places est encore en augmentation par rapport à l'année passée, donc si vous regardez les stats de l'année, vous pouvez considérer que les LA et les admissions vont se rendre plus loin cette année. Mais à ce stade-ci, je vous dirais plus de vous préparer à vos MEM que de penser à vos probabilités statistiques d'être admis à une uni en particulier Perso, l'année passée je m'étais dit que j'avais 1 chance sur 3 en regardant les unis dans leur ensemble parce que les stats sont souvent incomplètes et ne permettent pas vraiment de calculer une probabilité pour une uni. Tant mieux si c'est 1 chance sur 2, mais au final c'est juste une perfomance qui compte pour toutes les unis par qui vous êtes convoqués, donc les probabilités d'admission de chacun sont +/- pertinentes et vous allez voir la réponse ou une idée de la réponse assez vite
    • Hi all, I received my waitlist rankings today for McGill. Looking for some...realistic perspectives on my rankings? I'm IP, my Montreal ranking is 10-14 (not saying exact position for privacy), Outaouais ranking is 2-5 (not saying exact position for privacy). I've looked at historical trends and some years I would have gotten in, some years I wouldn't have. What's everyone's feeling for this year?
    • Je pense que tu as toutes tes chances du moins au campus Outaouais! Félicitations  
    • Jme rappelle pas trop c'est quand mais c'est plutôt une interview panel de mémoire.
    • Est-ce que ça veut dire qu'il y a plus de chances de rentrer à Ulaval vu qu'on est tous dans le même pieds d'égalité? Ou bien ça reste que 1 personnes sur 3 est accepté ?  
    • Salut à tous,  J'ai été mis sur liste d'attente.  MTL : 21 OUT : 9 quelqu'un saurait si auparavant, les places se libèrent au point d'atteindre ces numéros ? 
    • pour UdeM oui (encore la, c'est seulement ceux qui ont fait un bac qui permet de sauter l'année préparatoire, c'est pas tous les bacs qui le permettent), mais pour UL y'a pas d'année préparatoire donc tous les candidats universitaires commencent à la même année. Par contre, ils ont le choix de faire le pré-clinique en 2 ans, 2 ans et demi ou 3 ans (mais ils le choisissent seulement après avoir été acceptés je crois donc ça n'a pas d'impact sur les offres d'admission)
    • Mais faut pas oublier que universitaire y'a universitaire bacheliers qui entre directe en première année , puis universitaire qui vont entrer en année préparatoire , so c'est différent
