jfdes Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 Could also be that they take a few days after all the offers have been accepted to let things settle and make sure they have a full class before sending out the email. There's no real rush for them after all. I think in previous years the "class is full" email came out around this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KindAnt Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 When I saw your post I was hoping that you might have got an offer! Well, on these forums there were 3 offers June 7 and 2 offers June 10 - so the lack of email might suggest that at least one of those people haven't decided whether to accept their offer. I wish! Well my friends, barring some last minute deferral or something of the like, it looks like that is it for this year. All the best to everyone moving forward!

s2MD Posted July 9, 2016 Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 Hang in there and as others have said, don't give up! I definitely know how it feels having been on the other side of the fence last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bridges Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 According to last year's AFMC stats, 126 people declined their offer to Mac. I'm not sure if this number includes those who were automatically removed from the waitlist after accepting an offer from another Ontario medical school and therefore never technically "offered" admission. Regardless, a decent number of people get in off the waitlist. Good luck to all the waitlisters. Let the wait begin... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thuls.m Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 If people still get offers off the waitlist in June (I'm seeing previous posts where people posted on June 10, etc), does that mean that *if they had any other offers* they had to decline them in order to continuing waiting for Mac?

Bridges Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 For Ontario schools, they would have to decline offers from other Ontario schools if they want to stay on the waitlist for Mac. For OOP schools, they can accept their offer and stay on the wait list for Mac until the end (unless you email Mac to remove yourself), though you would lose your deposit to the other school if you come off the Mac wait list and decide to go to Mac instead.

I was one of those accepted in June. I can't speak for others, but I was personally waitlisted at Ottawa and Mac and just ended up hearing back from Mac first. I do know of people in the class that received offers much later than I though. Including someone ~two weeks before the start of classes. Mac's waitlist historically moves quite a bit. Thinking of you guys! Try to stay positive! It is not over yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thuls.m Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 Hey what are the chances of people being offered off the waitlist within the next two weeks(I.e before we have to accept other offers) ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NRE Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 Hi there Am on waitlist as well Have been on it before, my previous attempt at Mac (this is my second attempt) and didn't get in that time so am not holding out hope but all the best and good luck to everyone on here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopefuldreamer Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 Hey what are the chances of people being offered off the waitlist within the next two weeks(I.e before we have to accept other offers) ?? Correction: Looks like the first ones last year went out about 8 days after the initial offer day! Based off of last year (and previous years), I believe they generally start to send them out about 10 days from now. This is just going off of the Accepted/Waitlist/Rejected thread. Not sure if that will be the case this year or not, but I'd say there is hope! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenie3 Posted May 10, 2017 Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 I'm waitlisted, too. I'm trying to stay positive and keep my mind off of it, but it's hard. I am so disappointed. Chin up, and good luck to everyone else in admissions purgatory with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruby Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 I'm waitlisted at Mac too. I've noticed that fewer people posted that they were outright rejected this year than in previous years. Do you folks think its possible they have a bigger waitlist this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you folks think its possible they have a bigger waitlist this year? I think probably people that have been rejected are just feeling disappointed, and are probably less likely to post. But I supposed longer waitlist is possible too, although I'm not sure what the point of that would be! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
011235813 Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 So, what are we thinking? Wave tomorrow? This thread is disappointingly quiet. Let's liven it up! Come on people! Might as well try to enjoy the hell that is the wait-list! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruby Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Based on last year, I think tomorrow is the first day there could be a wave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenie3 Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 NotADoctor2017, I like your spunk. I also like your meme. I've convinced myself to expect nothing until next week. Part of my rationale is that it's easier to wait until next week than to shift into high email refreshing paranoia tomorrow. Based on other posts I've read around here, the original offers had a two-week deadline. I've just told myself to let that two weeks pass before I develop expectations again. That said, I will be thrilled if offers start rolling out tomorrow. Wishing you all good news soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookacola Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 Anyone know how long you have to accept an offer from the waitlist? I know later in the summer you get little time but just curious how long one gets if you get an earlier waitlist offer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
