obiwankenobi Posted April 29, 2018 Report Share Posted April 29, 2018 Does Ottawa reject anyone? Or will everybody who's not accepted be placed on the waitlist? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m_jacob_45 Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 Everybody is placed on the waitlist. In the past, they have had 2 differently worded waitlist letters that indicate if you're towards the top or the bottom, but last year all the letters were the same.

There was talk of reinstating those 2 letters this year after the dissatisfaction that was expressed last year. Would be good to revert to that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neji3 Posted May 1, 2018 Report Share Posted May 1, 2018 I attended the information session the day of the interview and was told they will be re-implementing the good/bad wait list. Morinphen, GEoG, hoping_for_derm and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruh Posted May 5, 2018 Report Share Posted May 5, 2018 If you get on ottawa’s Good waitlist, how hopeful should you be? Is it a pretty realistic chance that you’ll eventually get off of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neji3 Posted May 5, 2018 Report Share Posted May 5, 2018 You have a pretty good chance. I read statistics online stating that 257 offers were given last year for 164 seats! That's a lot from waitlist and the majority are from the English stream! Here's a screenshot and the source https://www.afmc.ca/publications/canadian-medical-education-statistics-cmes GEoG and FlyingScottsman 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inittowinit Posted May 21, 2019 Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 Hey everyone, this is an old thread but still relevant obvi. I'm guessing no one really knows, but does anyone have any insight on how likely you are to get an offer if you are on the good waitlist with a very high wGPA (>3.99)? I mean I guess you can be very high on a decent interview bin (3.5) and thus very likely to get an offer, or you can be very high on a mediocre bin (2.5) and likely not get an offer. Anyone have anything to add to this interpretation? Thanks so much!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone have anything to add to this interpretation? Thanks so much!! You're correct in that if you're in the 3.5 bin you're almost guaranteed an acceptance, but if you're in the 2.5 bin, extremely low chance of an acceptance. It's hard to predict how much movement there will be this year. Last year, there was less movement than usual. I would keep an eye out on where the waitlist is and if it surpasses 3.99 I would err on the side of moving on just for your own mental sake.

Are you taking about wGPA? If so, how can you really get better without getting a 4.00? I’m just confused haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m just confused haha I think Ervin means that if the waitlist moves below 3.99 then someone with a 3.99 who does not get an offer is not in that bin and should therefore err on the side of caution and hope that the waitlist moves to the next bin.
