Really not sure what to make of this theory thing I received my waitlist before 7am and I have a similar GPA to yours, I wouldn’t be surprised if they just randomly send out the waitlist spots regardless of standing, or if it is based on OMSAS number or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore, I’m guessing it was actually sent at 6:40. I don’t know how to tell if I’m on the Good or Bad waitlist, but I received the same message as what was posted on this thread by others. I think it might be “good”? Are you sure you don’t mean 7:40? This is well before anyone I’ve seen receive their email. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, the email is dated 5:40AM in my Manitoba timezone. Assuming it was sent from Ontario, it would be 6:40. But who knows, it could just be a fluke? If these waitlist emails were sent in an automated fashion, mine could've been programmed wrong and sent early.

Yeah Ottawa usually waits until after the 2-week OMSAS deadline for offers. So after the 26th I'd guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TylenolExtraStrength Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 Hey guys, Just made a new account so I could post. I had two questions: 1) How confident are we that the timestamps actually correlate to waitlist spots? I skimmed over previous waitlist threads and saw a couple of individuals claiming that it was irrelevant. 2) Do we know how many people are waitlisted? I know around 80 will get accepted, Thanks guys, may the luck be with us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bins Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 As someone who got off the waitlist last year, I do think timestamps matter for order. I had a very early timestamp and got an offer in the first wave. I also think that the bin theory is correct. They rank you based on interview performance and then GPA within these bins. You can see that based on the timestamp order going in GPA descending order and then when someone has 4.00 that marks the start of a new bin. At least last year they definitely did. But I don't think it's worth worrying about, because you still don't know how many people are ahead of you and how much time was between emails. The waitlist moves a lot, so don't consider it over for yourself yet if you got a "good" waitlist email. Not sure if this helps or just makes people more nervous. At least when I was on the list, I was comforted by my earlier timestamp. Dr. Shqipe, Crunch, TylenolExtraStrength and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PequalsMD Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 @bins Thanks for the info, I hope that the first 4.0 I saw after me marks the second bin. Do you know if anyone in the second bin got an offer last year? Also general: does anything have this deep worry that those that got Mac AND Ottawa will just pic Ottawa more than prev years (e.g. those that ranked Mac > Ottawa until the lottery are now Ottawa > Mac) and the waitlist will move a lot less?

I agree with this, I’ve discussed this with a few people and they are on the same page! However some people may stick with Mac for personal reasons like being close to home so we will really never know:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
