It just sucks that our offers are technically "conditional" until we get the confirmation email finalizing our admissions. It's crazy that people are going to be moving in this weekend and we still aren't fully registered. I'm shocked how they recommended not to look for housing until you're registered. They expect students to find housing and move to Ottawa with less than a month notice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially tight for OOP students who, according to guidelines, have to move in by the 14th Aug so they can properly self-isolate before O-week... This is not a good look tbh. popfossa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PequalsMD Posted July 28, 2020 Report Share Posted July 28, 2020 Are people actually moving in this weekend? I'm also aiming Aug 22nd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
,,aow Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 Have to aim for the end of August and I officially will be missing part of oweek I signed for august 1st originally thinking I would know by now. I asked the landlord if I can instead change it for September because I need to sublet my place before I pay rent at another place. Thankfully they agreed but if I had to move in earlier, id have to pay a portion of the August rent. Have been pushing subletting my current apartment until registration email, just incase. And I definitely cannot afford paying two rents. So I guess I'll be moving in August 31st - Sept 1st. I really expected better communication from admissions. I'm a little disappointed to say the least and this has been a constant stressor daily. I just want to know where I will be living in 35 days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's crazy that people are going to be moving in this weekend and we still aren't fully registered. Me too. I honestly think it's insane to expect people to find housing, move, SELF ISOLATE for 14 days, buy furniture, mentally prepare for an unknown curriculum all in 30 days (that's if we hear back this week). I am sure they already checked if we met all conditions by now but that's what's bothering me. If they checked, why can't they tell us that and allow us to know if we should book a darn uhaul or not. But honestly who knows what's going on there. I bet they are under a lot of pressure and stress because of the significant delay. Fingers crossed for Friday.

коронавирус Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 I'm moving in on August 1st and then coming down for good on the August 22nd - 23rd, just before the backpack + white coat distribution days. It will be nice to get accustomed to the area I am living in before O-Week starts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dopamineislife Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 Anyone know if there are any incidental fees that are optional for the MD program, or for UOttawa students that are also applicable to MD program? DrOtter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling for those who got off the waitlist late, their final transcripts might not have been due until recently. So I guess it is conceivable that their offers were only very recently revoked after Admissions reviewed them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Shqipe Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 I can confirm from my email (I was the one who just received acceptance) that the person had personal circumstances so no worries about revocation!
