cndeh Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 sooo does anyone know if everyone that gets accepted, gets their phone call today? lol Except if you don't answer it/wasn't near your phone, and your status still says "further review required". Then, they'll call you again tomorrow. If you're not waitlisted/refused, there's hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Que Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 sooo does anyone know if everyone that gets accepted, gets their phone call today? lol I believe so; but if anything, Minerva will be updated tomorrow regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Posted March 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 So there are 2 separate waitlists for OOP and IP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bananasinpyjamas Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 Last year the IP list moved up to the 10th person waitlisted. Can't say about the OOP list. oh so there are two lists...well then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cndeh Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 That's hopeful news, don't think OOP would move much.. I believe that this year there's only one list. And by "I believe" I mean I desperately hope there's only one list, then I'd still have hope of getting in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bananasinpyjamas Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 ALSO, I'm really NOT sure, but I remember one of the dent students say during the presentation that instead of ~30 seats this year, there are ~40. Maybe it has to do with the new facility? Or maybe I was just daydreaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not true, I asked the Faculty about that. In fact, what happens is that there are about 40 places including those reserved for Dent-P students. If someone from that group doesn't make it or declines an offer, then that place opens up for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Posted March 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 Has anyone contacted McGill to inquire if there's only 1 waitlist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bananasinpyjamas Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 Has anyone contacted McGill to inquire if there's only 1 waitlist?

There are 30 seats this year. 21 IP, 8 OOp, 1 or 2 (can't rmb) international Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riceball Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 I think there will be 2 waitlists.. because the quota for each category of applicant is set, it doesn't really make sense to have one WL:( sad news... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bananasinpyjamas Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 Yeah, I'm pretty sure there are 2 waitlists, based on this site: http://www.mcgill.ca/dentistry/prospective/undergrad/submit-application/waiting-list At least we get to see the rankings...

bananasinpyjamas Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 IP or OOP? Last year there were 12 IP on the list. Do you remember where you saw that? Also where you saw that the 10th person got in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bm9491 Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 Last year there were separate wait-lists. I think it's to maintain a certain ratio of IP/OOP students. But they definitely do move! It's suuuper early, guys. Some Ontario schools haven't even done their interviews. So especially if you're OOP and waitlisted, there is a good chance your colleagues may choose to stay in ON if they get accepted. Stay optimistic!

Mich1000 Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 looks like 2 lists "The Admissions Office only retains only a certain number of applicants on the waiting list for each applicant category." That's not good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cndeh Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 Although I agree that I do not think we'll be hearing today, it's still incredibly frustrating and I am with cndeh! I've changed my mind. Didn't want to get both results today. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
