I received mine at 7:25 for the French stream. Does anyone know if the CNFS and French stream emails are sent at the same time?

I think they're sent at different times. I talked to about 4-5 people on the CNFS waitlist and we all have the same time stamp (7h34).

A close friend of mine got in w/ a 7:46 timestamp last year, but did not post on premed. I really don't think time stamps are a good indicator of ranking :/

Are you sure it was sent/created at 7:46 and not received at 7:46?

Hmm that’s weird seeing that nobody else posted from 7:46 and a lot of people made accounts just to share. 

I guess we will find out in a weeks time

Also, I checked the AFMC 2019 PDF and it shows that last year, 84 people declined their offer at uOttawa (English and French). 

2017/2018 - 84 declined

2016/2017 - 93 declined

2015/2016 - 93 declined

2014/2015 - 88 declined.

So let’s hope it’s a decent amount this year lol.

Does anyone have any idea what the split is between English and French. I hoping the majority is English, and that might very well be the case, but I'm guessing that most people who apply to the french stream are Quebecers whom also applied to the Quebec schools, and if they got into Ottawa, there's a good chance they got into at least one of the Quebec schools (and would likely go to QC since tuition is much cheaper), and so the French stream would move significantly.

Anyone have any insight on this?

I just declined my offer to Ottawa -- I hope this helps someone here and I wish everyone the best!

[keener12345]

I also accepted my U of T offer last week, pulling myself off the good waitlist- hope this helps someone as well

I too recently declined my offer here in favour of another school - stay optimistic. Good luck!

Does anyone know what date/time we can expect the waitlist to begin moving this year?

My guess is it that the waitlist would start moving tomorrow morning, but this is just based off of movement in past yearS.

Okay, thanks! I, for some reason, thought it would begin today. Guess I don't have to jump every time my phone buzzes yet

Hi guys, anyone from the french regular stream is going to be refusing an offer or removing themselves from the waitlist in favor of a Quebec school? 

I've seen comments from two users from French stream, stating that they will decline

I really don't think it means much. Don't lose hope.

Since the waitlist is expected to start moving soon, could those who are willing to share their stats do so in the following manner? It would really help those still waiting gauge where they are at on the waitlist, if there is a pattern.

An example (not real stats!):

Waitlist email time: 7:18:50 AM (time that the email was sent, not received)

Call time: 1:30 PM, May 20, 2019

wGPA: 3.952

Let me know if there's anything I missed! Best of luck to everyone

And make sure it’s the email sent time not received time lol

Best of luck to you all!

 I'm losing it,

Why don't they start calling.

Have anyone received any email or call for French stream yet?

What is Chantell doing?

Regular French stream or CNFS?

[Nirvanesthesia]

Yeah I'm going crazy from this waiting. I'm trying to live life as usual but it's so hard.
