dds19 Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 Does it say in your letter that you are on OOP waitlist. There has nothing been mentioned in my letter about being IP or OOP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roldgold Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 From what I see so far, it seems that the interview is really important. The 60-10-30 marking scheme seems pretty misleading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nizzyr Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 Accepted... but a 2 grand deposit required by May 1, before Western (and med school) acceptances come out? That's a damn scam that I don't think I'll be partaking in. If you don't mind me asking, are you IP or OOP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

412simba Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 This is straight from western admissions: deposits are no longer Non-refundable. Western admissions told me there was a change in law that takes effect this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ottawaliquid Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 Yes, Bittersweet acceptance. First world problems: I'm thrilled that I'm going to become a dentist. But I'm hoping for an acceptance to either Dal or Western. The $2000.00 has me really worked up. I don't know if I should just pay it to ensure I have a spot at one school and I will become a dentist either way. I wouldn't mind paying the $2000.00 if we had a month to consider as opposed to just over 2 weeks. @Dal, I'm OOP so my chances are severely diminished and a few people have said they are only take 2 OOP candidate this year (although others have said 6, so its all just rumours) @Western one of my two best years I only took 8 courses so my GPA will be penalized for that year and of course they don't tell you by how much. I'll likely end up paying the $2000.00 as I don't want to risk not having a spot at a school but if I get into UWO or Dal, I'm sure I'll second guess myself. If I get into another school I'll be happy to let you know if/when I give up my spot. But congrats to all those who got in! IP My GPA was 3.99 Dat AA:24 RC: 24 PAT: 21 Interview: said slightly above average of 27 (I assume this means a 28) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prof.A.DumbleDore Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 Anyone got accepted to U of T and not bothering to show up for their Western interview? Just wondering if this is a common occurrence since U of T tends to release their acceptances before Western even has their interviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to think about opportunity cost. $2000 now, or an entire year (or more) wasted and untold amounts of income loss if you decide to not put down your deposit and you end up not getting in at either Western or Dal. Since you know that Western & Dal acceptances come out after your deadline, unless you have other options that are going to arise before May 1, plonking down $2000 should be the very first thing you do, as soon as humanly possible. This is a no brainer. There is no argument as far as I can tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering I pay 1800/year for a life insurance policy that I'll hopefully never use.. This one time career insurance is definitely worth it. And like someone said, it beats the hell out of the $11,000 UBC deposit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
