ThisIsMyPathOT Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 Just got the email decision - I was placed on the waiting list at #4. Although I'm out of province and knew this would play a factor I thought I had a good chance of being accepted first try. Must say I'm upset but will keep my head up. Does anyone have any clue what's the likelihood of getting in with that number on waiting list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harpacticoid Posted April 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 Yikes! It's happening! I think 4 has a pretty good shot. I remember at the info session (available online), they said something about how much the numbers vary. Don't remember exactly by how much but I think they do take a few off the waiting list. My gut would be that #4 would get in. I hope you do! I still haven't received my decision email... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you so much for the positive thought I'm #4 out of 27 applicants being placed on the wait list. Really hoping this means I can still get in... Hope you receive positive email soon! Good luck sending good vibes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone have any clue what's the likelihood of getting in with that number on waiting list? I have a friend who completed the program a few years ago and she was waitlisted at #4 as well. She said she contacted Sonia to find out her chances of getting in and Sonia told her she would definitely get in with spot #4 (and she did!). Maybe email Sonia in a couple of days to see what she says. I'm sure there will be a few people who will decline the offer of admission to UBC once they find out if they got into another school that was their preference. Other schools should be starting to offer admissions in the next month or so. I'm looking forward to meeting everyone who was accepted in September!

OTstarting2015 Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 I was waitlisted #22.. I wonder if anyone has ever gotten in from this high a number on the waitlist. Does anyone know? I feel that my chance aren't great, but I guess it depends how many people decline offers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alicelee Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 I did not get in. Good luck to the rest and congrats to those who got the offer. I will be more motivated to prepare for the coming interviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OT__2015 Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 People who get in off the waitlist could you leave an update here ? That way we can see the movement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orchid09 Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 People are accepted into the program right up until the week before classes start, so if you're placed nearer the end, hang tight and keep your fingers crossed!! Not everyone who is offered a place accepts too. I think if you're number 4 on the waitlist, you are very likely to be accepted. Good luck, and let me know if you have any questions.

stee Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 Has anyone received their official offer of admission from the Faculty of Graduate studies yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lnz Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Hey I have not yet! I actually re-emaield Sonia just to confirm it wasn't a mistake email on my acceptance and she said no it wasn't and sometimes it can take a bit. I get the impression Graduate studies just kinds of signs off on the list and we are good to go? I really hope thats the case and they don't re-evaluate everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually emailed Sonia to confirm my acceptance too, and she said to expect an offer letter from grad studies soon. So I think it's all just formalities from this point on!

I almost emailed to confirm too! After the mistake email in the morning of April 1st I had a hard time believing that I had receieved the correct email. Especially since the acceptance email I got was addressed to "Dear UBC MOT Applicant" and not by my name, it made me nervous. I'm glad to hear I wasn't the only one feeling that way Thanks for letting me know! I think it's just a formality as well, but it feels like one more step before I let myself accept that it's really happening! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
