waitlist thread

[Savac]

If you accept a school are u auto dropped from other school wItlists?

 

If all of the schools are in Ontario, then yes.

I saw Leslie walking to work yesterday and thought "I wonder how many people's lives she'll change today." haha

they don't talk to those people in person Probably need the boost from the waitlists to help sooth the dealing with the rest of it.

Just got off the waitlist at UofT Missauga

 

Congrats! Are you going to reject the Ottawa offer in favour of UofT if you don't get an offer anywhere else (which I hope you do)?

If I am not mistaken, Debroah Coombs sends out pre-interview rejections, while Leslie Taylor sends out invitations. I would surely prefer to in Leslie's shoe

[xcrunner]

Just declined my offer to UofT (MAM) in favour of an offer from UofC!

 

Good luck to whoever gets my sport! Fingers crossed for all you waitlisters!

[ashah68]

Have people started hearing back yet?? Good luck to all waitlisters!!!

[Aetherus]

I have accepted Queen's so a spot should open up for someone

[ashah68]

Exciting!! I guess no one heard back today!? I'm guessing a TON of mails should go out tomorrow!!! Good luck to all of you!!

[yunzaidai]

Anyone heard back today?

[youngmoneycrops]

I know a friend who got accepted to St George campus today.

[yunzaidai]

I wonder why there hasn't been a large of waitlist movements the day after acceptance deadline like previous years...

[ashah68]

Yes. I really don't know. Bizarre.

[popper1]

Yes. I really don't know. Bizarre.

 

 

It takes some time for the schools to receive the info from OMSAS when someone declines or accepts an offer. I'm not sure what the exact delay is, but based on what I've heard it can definitely take a few business days to process. There will probably be more waitlist movement later today or next week for sure. Good luck!

[ashah68]

Hey, so it seems that the waitlist movement is stalling really badly for U of T.

[yunzaidai]

Maybe the school overaccepted too much?

[Leon]

Maybe the school overaccepted too much?

 

Unlikely that there would be that much variation from previous years. It could also be that fewer people are posting.

[SpencerV]

There was also relatively few people who actually posted getting waitlisted.

I am excited to finally be able to post here!! Congrats to everyone else, and to those who did not get in this year, NEVER give up on your dream!

 

 

Hey there,

I have the same MCAT score as you and planning to apply this fall. I am seriously debating whether to rewrite my MCAT or not (due to verbal!). Can you shed any light on your experience applying this year with your stats? What schools did you receive interviews to? Thanks for any info!

[ArchEnemy]

Some lurkers are unable to post since they have not received their verification emails, which could contribute to the fewer acceptance/waitlist/rejection posts than previous years.
