freewheeler Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 Update: Ottawa got back to me and they won't be releasing wait list offers prior to the May 24th deadline. Time to make a tough decision! What happens if you just don't respond to either of your Mac or Toronto offers and leave them alone until after Ottawa gets back to you on May 24th/25th? Wouldn't they have to assume that you were somehow unreachable and thus need to make an extra effort to ensure you have received the offers and have made a decision, or would your offers immediately expire upon the deadline with a lack of response?

polos12 Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 Caution for any assumptions so not to take any chance or risk.

HarleyDaveson Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 I received an offer from the good waitlist this morning (OOP/Atlantic) at 9:31 AM AST. Not sure if anyone else heard, but I was informed I was next on the list although she did mention that they are still in the acceptance period, so not sure why I heard back so soon. I was an applicant to the Indigenous Program (choosing the English Stream) so that may have been a factor in my early offer of acceptance. Hope everyone else hears some good news soon if they are on the waitlist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnmccrae Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 I officially accepted at McMaster, so that might mean good news for another wait-lister out there (unless I was near the bottom)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opp12390 Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 Calls start tomorrow right? Does anyone know if they contact the exact # of those that declined their initial acceptance tomorrow or do they do it over the course of a few days? Thanks!

Calculator13 Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 Is anyone planning on emailing them soon to maybe ask when the offers will go out? Or maybe just playing the waiting game? Does anyone know someone on the wait list who has heard back yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know someone on the wait list who has heard back yet? last year the calls started going out on the Friday after the deadline. it can take up to 2 business days for OMSAS to forward responses to the schools. hope this helps!

Premed379 Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 I noticed many of the other med schools have already heard from Waiitlists. So I'm confused on this 2 day omsas processing time. Has no one heard from waitlist yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cl_med_46 Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 Guys, the waitlist is starting to move! I got the call from Chantal at 1:19pm. It's been a long and stressful journey, and I feel so relieved and blessed to have gotten an acceptance! Really looking forward to going to Ottawa in September. Good luck to all those still on the waitlist! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premed379 Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 When they called you did they say anything about how the waitlist has been moving this year? Or really anything interesting? How long was this call even ahaha. On a previous forum apparently Chantal mentioned that last years waitlist wasnt moving as much as usual, would be amazing to know anything about this years'.

j17f Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 Did they happen to say what time they planned on calling me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opp12390 Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 Hi guys, So my wGPA is 3.98 but since they've called 3.96 and 3.97 wGPA applicants does that automatically mean I'm on the second interview score section of the waitlist? Or is the call order not always reflective of GPA? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
