doctorfresh Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 ^^ Thanks! And I actually would rather know where I am on the waitlist even if that means I don't get accepted and am number 1 on the waitlist when the class is full. The risk of that happening is far less than the reward you get (lessened anxiety) by knowing more or less your chances of acceptance. But we have to play it according to their rules like we've been doing all along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hashtagmedschool Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 Has anyone considered if the emails (accepted/good waitlist/bad waitlist) go out in the ranking order? I'm guessing thats why we are supposed to put the time stamp down, but I haven't seen it discussed. The accepted emails range from 8:50 onward it seems, and almost everyone on the good waitlist got their email at 9:02 am from what I can see, but there is someone with a 9:01am. The bad waitlist ones started at after the good waitlist. Just speculating to pass the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why did they say they'd be calling before the 27th then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor961 Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 No idea. I actually e-mailed the admissions office last friday in regards to that matter, and they haven't replied yet, which I find weird. All I can say is that this process has taught me that patience is a great virtue:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fred245 Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 Chill out people... In fact, it is in our advantage for them to only start calling AFTER the 27th. If they call before the 27th, someone who has an offer from another school and get into Ottawa from the good waitlist may take the spot. But if it's after the 27th, they have no choice but to accept their other offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, overall, best case for people waiting for Ottawa is to have all other schools call waitlisters BEFORE the 27th and only Ottawa call AFTER. I'm daydreaming again, aren't I?

Does anyone know if everyone in the facebook group confirmed their acceptances to Ottawa or are some members still contemplating between different schools and just entered the group to ask questions?

airborne Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 waitlist email said 116 spots for Anglophone. And 40 for the french stream. So the group has to stay away from 156 members Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctorfresh Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 And 40 for the french stream. So the group has to stay away from 156 members 165 members I believe And some are upper year med students and some accepted applicants don't join the group. I think there are 13 upper year med students currently in the group, but someone can correct me if I am wrong. Also, anyone know if all the members accepted their offers?
