Like someone said this waitlist process can go on through the entire summer too so if I'm not going to make it I want to at least have an idea of that. It's absolutely insane to me that Mac cancels interviews and holds a lottery, effectively pissing off virtually all applicants... and then decides to torture everyone further by waitlisting virtually everyone? Giving so many applicants false hope? God Mac has been a disaster throughout this spooked and hellopotpie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then supported this decision with more nonsense. The reality is either that they received very poor technical advice or that the admissions team have hoodie-syndrome , it's a bit like white-coat syndrome except with a geek in a hoodie. Seriously, the technology to hold multiple interviews is most definitely available, and reliable, and should have been used, Applicants could even have had the interview on their phone if necessary.

Appledanish Posted May 13, 2020 Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 Hello guys! Speaking of the lottery, I applied for PA this year and got waitlisted with no interview as well. Do you think they used the lottery system for PA too?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I 100% agree! How did they think that lottery was more fair than even a phone interview?? Yes you can’t see the person but at least you can hear them and listen to what they have to say?!?

Too early, usually starts a couple days later I wouldn't really look forward to any particular day though or else this entire wait will be torture. Big wave on May 27 tho. Its Wendy individually emailing each applicant x 100+ so it may take a while too Please update the thread once any of you hear from Wendy regarding a spot opening up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats true - Lets say they had 450 and they ran the lottery and accepted 100. If youre position 350 and they rejected 50 (you will be waitlisted) vs 100 ppl (you will be rejected), it ultimately does not affect the distance between you and making it off the waitlist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do not have the insight into the number of waitlisted and rejected. It’s just causing unnecessary worry. If you are waitlisted and rejected this year, just keep in mind the interview next year is still there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furosemide Posted May 13, 2020 Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 Hey all, got an offer from my IP school so will be declining my Mac offer.
