jdoc18 Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 That's probably all the waitlist movement for today. But tomorrow will be another day of movement! I'm rooting for all you PM101'ers! I hope all the lurkers can make accounts and post info, it's helpful to everyone!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doctorfresh Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 Yeah, I have a feeling today was the big day. From here on out it's probably just going to be a slow trickle of acceptances. But then again I'm being super pessimistic here I don't think that it's going to be a slow trickle of acceptances from here on in According to years prior, there have been a large volume of calls for at least 4-5 days (and today was only the first) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saaa19 Posted May 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 I was accepted off the wait list today at 1:37 pm. I am in the English stream and I have a wgpa of 3.955. I had some pretty hostile interviewers so I'm really happy to be accepted! Good luck to everyone waiting. I know how hard the wait is. Premed101 has truly been the only thing that's kept me sane the past few weeks. THANKYOU to everyone on here for their support! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panicpsycho Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 haha so easy to figure out who got off the waitlist by looking at the fb group lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borax Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 Any lurkers out there? Feels like a ghost town here today compared to yesterday. I'll be here all day though, it helps with the anxiety of waiting for the phone call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elephant_Shoes Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 I've been lurking for the past 2 weeks.... Finally decided to get an account. Congrats to everyone who was already called off the waitlist and good luck to everyone still waiting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borax Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 Facebook group filled up by ~15 people. Let's hope there's more good news for some of us today. Well that gives me a kind of grim outlook. Last year wasn't it only ~20 people who were called off the english stream waitlist? (at least that we saw on the forums?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(at least that we saw on the forums?) yes it was around 20-25 people who got off the waitlist for the english stream. However, think about all the people who didn't post on the forums. So far only 3 people posted on the forum yet the facebook group moved by 15 people. Also keep in mind it's only at 120 members so there's still room.

airborne Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 Firstly, yes it was around 20-25 people who got off the waitlist for the english stream. However, think about all the people who didn't post on the forums. So far only 3 people posted on the forum yet the facebook group moved by 15 people. Also keep in mind it's only at 120 members so there's still room. It's at 120 members and there are at least 20 that are admins or 2nd/3rd year med students.

Borax Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 Just a quick question for everyone. The class size was capped at 116 students this year right? Wasn't it higher last year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're being as optimistic as possible: 119 Members --> Minus about 15-20 who are upper years/admins, minus about 20-30 for French streamers (I'm on the english stream waitlist) = About 70-80 Students confirmed for English Stream. Then you have to take into account those who have accepted and aren't in the Facebook group yet. So, I would guess there is still significant movement to come. Let's cross our fingers!

I think there are even more french streamers. Would an upper year med student be able to confirm approximately how many upper years are in the facebook group?

Would an upper year med student be able to confirm approximately how many upper years are in the facebook group? Perhaps, but I think they have 40 french stream seats in total so I don't think it's too much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monika Chao Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 It's at 120 members and there are at least 20 that are admins or 2nd/3rd year med students. Long time lurker and finally managed to make an account!! I also know a few people in that group that have accepted offers elsewhere and are still within the members list. So, the number is not very accurate. Let's hope a new batch of calls starts around after lunch like yesterday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panicpsycho Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 The facebook group is a very bad estimate imo. I know of about a dozen people who are accepting and not part of the facebook group because they don't want to be ''judged'' off of a photo before meeting them new people in person. I myself left the group because of that mentality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeuroBurgers Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 Just want to let y'all know that I followed through with my earlier sentiments and accepted UoT (I was on the good waitlist at UoOttawa - English Stream), so there will be an open spot for one of you hopefully. I'm a tad sad - I wish I had the opportunity to pick between UoT and UoO. My friends and family are from Ottawa, and so now I am away from home for another 4 yrs. But that's life. Nonetheless, I'm grateful for UoT. Good luck everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
