bardownbingo Posted May 19, 2018 Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 1 hour ago, 4mbition said: the early UofT offers resulted in some candidates cancelling their interviews at Schulich (i.e. the candidates that got UofT offers), meaning there is a stronger likelihood that there is less waitlist movement this year because there could be fewer candidates declining Schulich for UofT dental (since some of those accepted at UofT already cancelled their Schulich interview). hopefully the schulich administration factored that into consideration for their HWL... Yeah the UofT thing is what I'm worried about :/ but like @Zaandrei. said, I doubt they would have factored that in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it a good place to live? A bunch of dental students live there actually! I'd say it's about a 5-10 minute bus ride from the dental school. Single apartments are quite a rarity, as not many people let go of them. If you get an upgraded unit, they're quite nice actually and are within a minute walk from a large mall and commercial area.

Easyteeth Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 so i'm guessing everyone paid the deposit, has anyone contacted admissions to confirm? if that's the case, us HWL-ers don't have much hope left :/ this time last year, there was more movement after the deposit date, so i'm guessing either the people who were contacted and pulled off HWL after the deposit date didn't post about it and are still deciding (I think they get a few days) or, all deposits are paid and class is full Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zaandrei. Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 ^^ 1) You don't get your own patients in 2nd year; unless they're changing it up... 2) that's right; a lot more in 2nd year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also have 3rd or 4th years experienced any problems regarding chairs ? And, do you need to find your own patients or do they get assigned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaandrei. Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 Yes. Large issues with booking appointments and availability of covering instructors... but we're doing fine still. Just transitioned over to a digital system and it's been rough, but a few weeks after the initial transition and things are already looking better. The school provides patients - pretty standard I believe across most (if not all) universities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easyteeth Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 Do we have any idea how many of us HWL are still out there in total? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My best guess is there is still about 8 of us still on the HWL. This is based on my estimate of the HWL being <20 this year due it not clearing and that about 10 people have gotten off the HWL based on the forums. I may be completely wrong as well but this is my estimation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
