Would love to hear your views. gosh so hard! So far things don't look super different from other years on the analysis front. Mac is a bit of wild card, but overall we are similar. I expect the high wait list to clear pretty quickly, and then get start on the normal list! hang in there - this is a hard time obviously! No matter what happens getting an interview means you are really on the right track. NWL@UWO, hijkl, Phil Jackson and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that, it was ok. I find him really interesting. He has such an offbeat personality in the interviews I've watched haha. I've already got a hold of your guys recommendations! Looking forward to giving them a read. Phil Jackson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDP Posted May 22, 2020 Report Share Posted May 22, 2020 i thought the general understanding was that they normally don't get back until all the acceptances and rejections are processed (a couple days after may 26th)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do it is a pure leap of faith (but know that both schools are excellent). In general the delay in Western is of benefit - if you are on the Western waitlist you want all the other waitlists to move as soon as possible as it may free up a spot for you. hijkl and 5th time the charm 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone in the Mac or Ottawa thread said they were turning down the Ottawa offer to wait on the Mac waitlist, your situations are pretty similar (he doesn't want to go to Ottawa for some reason, I get why you wouldnt want to go to Mac) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
