finks Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 so I guess we are all still waiting! and it has only been a week! this is torture. any news??? I guess most of the movement has happened already.....anyone know anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wellington Boots Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 still waiting indeed !...haven't heard anything either. I think the next movement will be after other schools' (UofA,UofC, Ontario) offer deadlines force acceptances to become firm (akin to what aquadon said in an earlier post). I thinks UofC's deadline is today, Ontario schools are May 27 and UofA's is May 31. ....this wait is worse than the one for May14 !...anyone want to call admissions today to get some more info (IP and OOP waitlists) ?

sfuguy Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 I think a second round went out on friday, as those offered a spot on tuesday were given until friday at noon to decide. I also wish there was more info given (i.e. waitlist position), it is hard to move on because there still might be a chance. It is hard to stay hopeful because the chances are just so slim at this point, so you're stuck in the middle! Anyone ask if or when the next round of offers might come out....

finks Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 Ok I sent an email about the next expected movement etc....I will let you all know what and if I hear back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquadon Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 Just talked to admissions - they release spots on a weekly basis when all the people from that week have had their chance to decline. She said that they might be sending notifications today. The day of the week that results are released changes every week - depending on when the last offer comes out. But the list isn't released on a real-time basis (i.e. if people who previously accepted decline to go to a school in Ontario their spots will be released along with people on the WL who declined their offer).

finks Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 quick random question.....did everyone who finds themselves on the waitlist have a reference contacted? just wondering....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquadon Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 Some offers went out today. It looks like we can wait another week without refreshing our screens every minute. Looking at the Med 2014 fb group gives me hope though! Only 160 members! Re: Having people contacted - is it a verifier or a reference that was contacted? A verifier of mine was contacted in March but clearly that doesn't mean anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfuguy Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 how do know? Did you call again? When they say offers went out, do they distinguish between IP and OOP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquadon Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 A friend of a friend (IP) got the email. He will be accepting. Fingers crossed for end of May and Ontario school deadlines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wellington Boots Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 aquadon - did your friend mention when he has to accept his offer by ? If the offer deadline is noon friday (PST) like it was for last week's waitlisters, does that mean the next round of offers will be next week ?

sfuguy Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 So what happened to all the waitlist posters, did you guys get accepted (UBC, elsewhere), still waiting, staying as far away as possible from p101? keep posting.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmcl Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 I guess you could say I'm still waiting, but it certainly doesn't look promising with a bunch of offers already sent out. Just studying for the MCAT now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wellington Boots Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 still here...i think the next round of offers goes out next week, as today was the deadline for Tuesday's offers.....we shall see.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquadon Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 I have decided I will officially "give up" hope after next Monday. Talking to admissions it really sounded like they only send out offer letters once a week and I think that monday might be a good day with Ontario and Alberta schools finally being due, there may be a few more spots that open up with people declining the offer they originally accepted. Finger's crossed, I will call again on Monday to see if they release spots. They seemed to be surprisingly helpful last time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finks Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 ""Finger's crossed, I will call again on Monday to see if they release spots. They seemed to be surprisingly helpful last time!"" So? any info? I am assuming no spots were released as there has been no new posts today. They still have not replied to my email from tuesday.......

aquadon Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 I called today and got yelled at by someone who woke up on the wrong side of the bed. I'll keep checking back here on the off chance someone is accepted, but my hopes and dreams are down the drains at this point. Just going on life as per usual and starting a new application in a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfuguy Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 Really!!! What did they say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finks Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 my question about being waitlisted, and I hope to hear from those that have been waitlisted, then rejected only to be accepted in the next cycle, is basically how much do you need to change your application to get in after being waitlisted? or how did you improve your application from one cycle to the next? thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finks Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 ok so I called just now, and got a less than helpful individual who just said repeatedly I can't reveal that.....so I will take that to mean that they have no schedule to release more spots as the spots are filled. She couldn't even tell me when they would be sending out rejection letters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogopogo Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 If we are waitlisted - do we need to hand in final transcripts? I was told we didn't by another student...then I started to wonder...just browsed the UBC site, didn't find anything but I thought I would ask here to confirm. Its crazy late here, and I am only half conscious so I may have missed something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finks Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 No I don't think so but you could call and ask if you are worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So with the email message we just got online, the answer is yes you do need to send in your transcripts before the 15th or you will lose your spot on the waitlist or in the program. Likewise I supposed they are holding on to us until all the trascripts or grad reports are in......looks like more waiting for us..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
