Coronaxtra Posted August 7, 2017 Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 I think the HWL hasn't cleared yet. Maybe Winnipeg9416 has some updates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winnipeg9416 Posted August 7, 2017 Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 Can confirm that there is at least 1 HWLer still waiting - so still on HWL. 1-2 remain I think. Should be some movement this week as the deposit is due! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pingu48 Posted August 10, 2017 Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 No one was added to the facebook group either. There may be a delay though and admissions might be double checking with those that didn't pay the deposit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omgplspickme Posted August 10, 2017 Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 How much was the deposit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winnipeg9416 Posted August 10, 2017 Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 When was the UofT deposit due, same date? UofT's been moving like crazy lately. I'd be shocked if Western didn't move at least a couple people after the deposit (it is 30K+). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pingu48 Posted August 10, 2017 Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 Not deposit, 1st installment, so ~$33,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relative to Schulich which doesn't look like anyone's been accepted in August so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omgplspickme Posted August 10, 2017 Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 I think people just couldn't find the facebook group. Bet many of them were original students accepted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_s_ Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 Just called admissions. They said it only moved 1-2 spots a couple of weeks ago but the class is currently full at 56 spots. They won't know who isn't actually in classes after August 29th (white coat ceremony), so they will email everyone on waitlist whether the cycle is over after that. I'm still on HWL and I haven't been called (the 1 still waiting that Winnipeg9416 mentioned previously). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winnipeg9416 Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 I had said 1-2 HWLers left because there was one other who I wasn't 100% sure about. I found out a couple of days ago that this person is still waiting. So there are at least 2 remaining on HWL, wow.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pingu48 Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 I don't think there is a great chance of someone giving up an instalment. It's happened in the past, but it is pretty rare. I guess the WL didn't move as far as they thought it would this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winnipeg9416 Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 In the Class of 2020 there was somebody accepted the day after white coat & in the Class of 2019 there were a couple of people that got accepted off the WL around August 20th (according to this forum). It is impossible to predict what will happen in the next 2 weeks (in terms of WL movement), but I wouldn't say it's a certainty that the WL will not move any more. At most, I think it's still possible for the 2 left on the HWL to hear back. I can't imagine it moving anymore than that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DentalFoodie Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 Why is there such a difference between how UofT's list is moving vs western (not moving)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDSER Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 1 hour ago, DentalFoodie said: Why is there such a difference between how UofT's list is moving vs western (not moving)? It could be that since Western looks at your ECs and shadowing is a big part of it, its becoming harder for students who are gunning for med to get in as a backup, so the class is composed of people who actually want to dentistry and not just use it as a backup. Whereas UofT only looks at GPA and DAT so a lot of premeds can still get in relatively easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WomboCombo Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 Considering the fact that UofT's class size is 40 greater than Western, UofT will have a lot more waitlist movement. I think Western sold itself as a great program. Also, I think people who get into Western fit into a mold that is a bit more unique compared to other dental applicants which are more stats-heavy. Western DDS students typically now need good ECs/shadowing/essays which self-selects for a group of individuals who may do well on these categories but may be not as strong in stats like those who get into UofT. This is just pure speculation though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
