Saaa19 Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Saw a similar thread in McMaster… thought I'd start one here. From the poll it looks like there is at least 30 of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saaa19 Posted May 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 Spoke with a lovely person in admissions today and she mentioned that they will be sending wait list offers before the 27th! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doctorfresh Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 Spoke with a lovely person in admissions today and she mentioned that they will be sending wait list offers before the 27th! Thank you for the update! Really appreciate it! How soon do you guys think they'll start calling? I don't believe they started calling waitlisted individuals prior to the 2 week deadline in previous years? They may have done so 3-4 years ago if I remember correctly from reading waitlist threads.

jellybean321 Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 Does anyone know the reasoning behind not giving us what number we are on the waitlist? It would definitely help with some stress knowing if I was number 5 or 50! I really wonder how many of us there are! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOSM applicants get their waitlisted numbers. It would definitely help with the anxiety of the whole process, but I guess we have to play by their rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jellybean321 Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 The wait is painfulll It really is! Not sure about you guys, but I basically am on the assumption that I will not get in. Need to start making some sort of plans for September. What are you all planning on doing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bozo22 Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 Does anyone know the reasoning behind not giving us what number we are on the waitlist? It would definitely help with some stress knowing if I was number 5 or 50! I really wonder how many of us there are! I was also wondering why this is. Maybe, they want to keep everyone in the dark to try and get the "best" applicants possible and to avoid everyone removing themselves from the waitlist--which could cause problems for them.

Saaa19 Posted May 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 No problem! They wait is even more painful than before… I can't get myself to do or plan anything. Realistically though I think there's a lot of us on the wait list and for some reason feel like there won't be much movement this year… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdoc18 Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 I have heard from some people that Ottawa's waitlist tends to move quite a bit (for English stream at least), is that true? How do you guys feel your interview went? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdoc18 Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 Saaa19, why do you feel like there won't be lots of movement this year? Doesn't Ottawa have a large waitlist movement? At least that's what I've heard.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saaa19 Posted May 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 It just seems like most with offers are those who just had an Ottawa interview or multiple interviews with a wait list or rejection outcome at the other schools. I've heard there has been lots of movement in the past too so I definitely could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saaa19 Posted May 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 I've also heard they have a large waitlist movement. Hopefully extra large this year for all of our sakes Extra large would be fantastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdoc18 Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 Do any of you guys know people that will either reject an offer from Ottawa or withdraw from the waitlist? Both of those situations could help us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doctorfresh Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 Last year, no one got accepted off-waitlist in the french stream Let's hope for a lot of movement. I find it a little strange as to why they decided to call waitlisted applicants before the 27th this year when in previous years they only started calling a few days after the deadline.
