RPN-RN-MD Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 Today was the big day, and I was waitlisted. I know I'm not alone in this boat, and we are all probably wondering if there is any hope for us at all. I don't know all the answers, but I figured that it's better to die of anxiety together than to die of anxiety alone. Feel free to discuss any and all things related to the Mac 2019 interview waitlist. I'll start by linking a few previous year's waitlist threads: http://forums.premed101.com/topic/93767-number-of-students-on-interview-waitlist/ http://forums.premed101.com/topic/98384-interview-waitlist/ http://forums.premed101.com/topic/57878-waitlist-for-interview/ and by summarizing a bit of the info I gleamed from there: 1. The Mac interview waitlist seems to be about 20-30 people (which apparently had been posted previously but the link was removed). 2. The waitlist DOES move, some other schools/programs give out offers before the Mac interview date, and also sometimes people just can't make it. (Some people went as far as to say waitlisters have as high as a 50% chance of getting an interview) 3. We won't likely hear back until after the deadline to accept the interview offer (which I'm not sure about this year, but is likely early Feb), but we also might hear back as late as the day before the interviews, so keep your phone's on! Good luck all. A fellow waitlister. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unarmed walrus Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 I was on the waitlist last year, and unfortunately did not end up getting an interview, but I know that several other people did. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know for MD applications it is mainly US or other international schools that give offers of admission before the Mac interview date, but there might be a few Canadian MD/PhD programs that are earlier as well. Also keep in mind that people might decline an interview if it falls on the same day as another interview and they are unable to reschedule them. And never discount the possibility that people applied to Mac on a whim or as an extra backup, but since they got other interviews they might just drop this interview (remember that every year there are hundreds of applicants who do not even take the Casper test).

lol_wut Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 I feel similarly. Have not heard of a single person getting off the waitlist thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Snow Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 Not sure if Mac will move people still, but MD/PhD people need to respond by the end of this week, at which point they will be removed from all upcoming interviews. I know this may only affect like 5-10 spots max, but that is on the horizon? No news is still good news I think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will they be removed from upcoming interviews if they've accepted MD/PhD offers at other Ontario schools or is it just Mac? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you accept an MD/PhD offer on OMSAS, it automatically withdraws you for Ontario schools, but OOP schools may not be aware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
