I think I got low waitlist, since the wording of the email is that people in my position have not received offers in previous years. Which I think is almost the same as a rejection.

This is a positive sign, congrats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHG Posted May 14, 2019 Report Share Posted May 14, 2019 Result: High Waitlist Timestamp: May 14 8:55 AM 2 yr GPA: 3.97 MCAT: 128/129/127 Interview: Felt fine when I left but became more uncertain as the time passed Geography: SWOMEN The email I got says that applicants in my position have received offers in previous years - still a little nervous but hoping this is good!

Hypercalcemia Posted May 14, 2019 Report Share Posted May 14, 2019 Congrats to everyone who received offers and waitlists today! Some info about waitlist to help people better understand their chances: 1. Western has a lot of waitlist movement. Historically, the high waitlist is almost always cleared, so even if you were placed on the normal waitlist, there's still a decent chance you'll receive an offer as the summer moves on. Waitlist movement continued into August last year, so there's still lots of time and you shouldn't give up yet! Unfortunately, I don't think anyone from the low waitlist has received an offer in the past several years. 2. What waitlist am I on? High: "In recent years, applicants in your position on the Wait List have received an offer of admission." Normal: "Although you were not ranked to receive an offer at this time, it was recommended that your name be placed on our Wait List. Any offer that is not accepted will be filled by an individual from the Wait List." Low: "In recent years, applicants in your position on the Wait List have not received an offer of admission." steelchopsticks and ernstmach 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know what this means? This means that at this time, they've sent out enough invites to fill your preferred campus. Rather than sending you an acceptance for your lower ranked campus, they say unspecified because it is still likely that you're given an offer to your campus of preference. As far as I know, people who receive unspecified campus almost always end up receiving their preferred location after movement.

TClooney Posted May 14, 2019 Report Share Posted May 14, 2019 Did anyone get located at a campus that was not their first choice? Or does it just say unspecified for everyone that might be in this position? I specified London as my first choice and currently have an unspecified location. Would love to go to London campus but if I can not guarantee that this will be the case I will be taking my offer with Mac, no offense to Windsor natives.

I understand when people don't want Windsor. I grew up here so I like it a lot, but it's not exactly a city to write home about if you're from out of town. I've seen a lot of unspecified locations end up being London, so you could roll the dice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know what this means? in case someone hasn't replied - it means your overall score was enough to be in the top 171 candidates (assuming the class size is the same) - and thus you got a spot but not high enough to initially fit into the london class. However very likely with people declining some spots new spots will open in London and you probably will get your first choice location eventually. You just have to wait until all the declines are processed etc. They just cannot 100% guarantee you will get it currently because in theory at least everyone could accept and there are no spots opened.
