seewhathappens Posted May 25, 2020 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 Even if people know right away, a lot of people just sit on it, and enjoy their acceptance (I know I would). We've seen plenty of posts recently about people just rejecting Mac now. It's not unthinkable that Mac hasn't processed it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waterbottl Posted May 25, 2020 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 Everyone needs to relax. There is always a large waitlist movement after the OMSAS deadline, and it will be no different this year. If anything, there might be a bigger waitlist movement. I know it's stressful, but take a deep breath - I was on the waitlist too at one point. reginageorge and seewhathappens 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my understanding there is usually just waves after 1 week then 2 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember, in the situation we have this year, there are probably more people circulating premed and other online forums, so we're probably only hearing more because more people have taken to these forums. The 2 days we saw were not waves, they were just small trickles of offers probably. I'm not saying that it's going to happen for certain, but there is a big chance that a large wave (and maybe an even bigger one) will happen the day after the OMSAS deadline.

I wouldn't read too much into how they decided to divy up their workload this year. I suspect that there will be more movement than usual because of COVID. But we won't know until later in June.
