I read on a blog post comment that OOP tend to get off the waitlist first since their preinterview score had to be high, so their overall score tends to be higher. I also kind of assumed that since the deadline for the first round that came out on Monday is Friday, that we won't hear anything until at least next Monday?

WeDayDream Posted May 29, 2019 Report Share Posted May 29, 2019 Like I said. I know people (IP) who have just got off the waitlist. It is little by little. Ellewoods 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avotoast Posted May 31, 2019 Report Share Posted May 31, 2019 I’m OOP and just received an offer! Time stamp: 4:44pm. Deadline to accept: June 7. Still in shock and I’ll most likely be accepting the offer. Best of luck to those still on the waitlist! Ellewoods 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepperoni. Posted June 3, 2019 Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 The waitlist came through for me!!! I was offered admission at 1030 today, in province, accepted it already and over the goddamn moon!!!! Hang on guys, you’re going to make it. If not this year then next. I know it’s hard, the waitlist is torture. Ellewoods and Dragonfly_19 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qaws222 Posted June 3, 2019 Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 I wonder how they're sending these offers. In batches or individually? It seems really slow this year. Only 4 people on this forum has gotten off. Obviously premed101 isn't fully representative but still. My hope is fading.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qaws222 Posted June 5, 2019 Report Share Posted June 5, 2019 Does anyone know if the U of C will send out emails to those really low on the waitlist to tell them they probably won't be getting in? I heard something about that but just wanted to confirm. Searching for ways to keep my hopes up here haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qaws222 Posted June 5, 2019 Report Share Posted June 5, 2019 Yea I saw that blog post. It seems like things are a bit different this year since medlol got until June 7 to accept (5 days) instead of the 2 days the blog post was saying. If I'm not mistaken, they're changing things up at the U of C right? Especially with the staff change. The waitlist limbo continues....

jp123 Posted June 5, 2019 Report Share Posted June 5, 2019 Seems like there is much more movement for Edmonton compared to Calgary. I wonder if that has to do with Calgary giving more additional offers (blog post last year indicated many more offers given then positions available.) Or people recognizing the value of the three year degree. (one less year rent, no need to look for summer jobs etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeDayDream Posted June 6, 2019 Report Share Posted June 6, 2019 Main reason is that Calgary interviewed more people this year. Calgary's selection process also favours those with more experience (like older applicants) who are guaranteed to accept their offer for Calgary. Calgary also has a slightly lower acceptance rate than UofA in the past few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
