HopefulDent2017 Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 Has anyone on the waitlist tried to email admissions again to see if their waitlist position has changed significantly enough to receive an offer based on past years? Due to recent waitlist movements? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DentHopeful44 Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 I don't think they'd change people's high/normal/low ranking, even if there was a lot of movement because that was based off of previous years, not what's happening now (might be wrong though!). HWL still hasn't cleared, so I would be surprised if they manage to reach the LWL. Two things are up in the air. It seems like there is a lot of WL movement this year so far, but maybe more people are just posting (except it seems like a high proportion of posters are getting in)? The second is we really don't know how long each of the lists are. If it really is like UWO med and is truly conservative, I'd guess 20-25 max on the HWL, but it could be more... There should be at least 4 more waitlist offers in the very near future, so please post if you get in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kwyhan Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 I know it's difficult to be patient during this whole process but it IS moving. already in this forum alone, 4-5 people stated they or their friend is turning down their offer as of June 1st. so definitely expect that many movement happening this week!

There may have been a small shift (going from high to higher, normal to high, low to normal) due to people declining their waitlist positions, though it probably isn't that significant.

Winnipeg9416 Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 Just wanted to make a quick post for future premed users regarding the high waitlist: If you scroll through this entire thread, there are 15 people who have confirmed that they were/are on the high waitlist. I also know of one other person (who is not one of these usernames) who was also accepted off the HWL. So there are 16 confirmed HWLers. I thought the HWL was less than 20 (closer to 15), but with the assumption that there are more HWLers out there who didn't post on the forums I'd say that the high waitlist must be at least 20 people! It could also be 25, but I really don't think that is being conservative enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_s_ Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 I'm on the HWL too, but haven't been contacted. It must be at least 20 people? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winnipeg9416 Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 For anyone wondering, there are still 6 users here on HWL who haven't been contacted yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dentistry001 Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 I called in yesterday and they don't give out any information regarding wait list movement. Not sure how else to get information besides here on how well its moving.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DentHopeful44 Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 They really need to adopt the UofT and McGill numbering system for future years... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vendar Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 My guess is that they sent a wave on thurs and friday. A few people that i know that got an offer have until friday or monday to accept. I know most of them are turning it down! They may send out another "wave" friday or monday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markymark Posted June 10, 2017 Report Share Posted June 10, 2017 How well of a predictor is Premed101 for waitlist movement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winnipeg9416 Posted June 11, 2017 Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 It's not a good predictor for total waitlist movement (i.e. last year moved 38 spots), but it can be helpful to know roughly where admissions is on the waitlist. For example we know that they are nearing the end of the HWL at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dentistry001 Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 Those 5 could have gotten an offer and not posted. The best way to know if HWL cleared is is someone off the normal gets a call and posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winnipeg9416 Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 That's true, we won't know until someone posts saying they got a call off the normal waitlist. But I have been in contact with the other 4 users and can confirm that there are still at least 5 people remaining on the HWL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teeth2017 Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 I'm not sure if it was already said or not but when you get accepted off the waitlist how long do they give you to make a decision/ put in a deposit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
