Good luck to all those doing interviews tomorrow and those early April in Sudbury! I don't know if things were just easier this year, but the questions were definitely more forgiving than last years!

this happened to me this year too... the address was my parents address that I had used the previous year

I know the individual that got in on Wednesday... I am still unsure if someone dropped to attend another school, or completely opted out of their seat. Regardless, there is always hope!

I saw this on their website only yesterday and was waiting for a trend to start. Personally, I think its the fairest option to have all undergraduate courses counted towards the GPA, however, I do also like the system that OttawaU has with their weighted GPA (most recently being more heavily weighted). However, I do not think that a students GPA should suffer as a result of 1 or 2 years of a poor academic performance early in their undergraduate career. For those that have completed and shown their academic potential through another undergraduate program or upward trend of an exceptional GPA,

Wishing all those accepted and off the waitlist all the best! Rural_roots, I am praying for the both of us that next year is our year!

rural_roots, yes I am also on the waitlist (I have been a lurker for quite some time, but the past couple of months I have avoided this forum as it was making me crazy with anxiety!). I finally gave in and made an account yesterday! I have also been rooting for you all the way, as I cannot express how much respect I have for you given your progress with NOSM all these years (really hoping this is your year!). As for some updated waitlist information, a co-worker of mine was accepted off the waitlist yesterday (No FB, so it would not have added to the group) as well as I know of another 2 nursi

Sorry I would make a new post, but I don't know how to.... Does anyone know if NOSM is able to give feedback to those that were waitlisted or rejected as to how they are able to improve their application for the next cycle if they are not admitted?
