northernjb Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 Waitlisted 88 AA/RC/PAT: 22/23/18 ABS/PS: I thought these were ok, but I had no shadowing and my experiences aren’t that recent within the last year since I’ve been graduated Interview: Thought it went well, pretty conversational and relaxed. I think I really messed up a question near the end. ———— Has anyone emailed about their WL position and gotten High WL wording? ie. “People in your position in past years have gotten an offer of admission?” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellothere123 Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 Waitlisted 90%~ AA: 22 RC: 18 PAT 21 ABS: lots of job experience, shadowed general dentists + 4 other dental specialities, lots of volunteering, involved in 2 dental research studies Interview: I can't remember, it went by too fast, but I came out feeling good about it. Some questions were tough but I was able to give an answer for all. I'm guessing mid ranking for wait list, based on last year's forum. "On behalf of the Admissions Committee, I regret to inform you that you were not selected to fill one of the available seats in the class. It was, however, recommended that your name be placed on a ranked waiting list. Should any of the selected candidates decline the seat we have offered them, replacements will be selected from applicants on the waiting list."

hellothere123 Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 Just now, Jep Zer said: Did you try emailing them? For me it states at the end that I should try emailing them and they may be able to tell me my rank. I am still waiting for their reply. Yes I emailed them and got this response: "We do not give out information regarding applicants ranking on the Wait List nor how many people are on the Wait List. Although you were not ranked to receive an offer at this time, it was recommended that your name be placed on our Wait List. Any offers not accepted will be filled by individuals on the Wait List."

Maybe they really didn't send out HWL, NWL, or LWL. So perhaps there is some hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dentboyyyy Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 Accepted! 93% DAT: 25 AA/23 PAT/24 RC ECs: decent; some basic research, 90+ hours of shadowing (multiple specialties), some volunteering, no clubs Interview: went well, was pretty energetic, but I felt like I didn’t talk about everything I wanted to. Will likely reject this offer in favour of Toronto, but I’m still deciding. Congratulations to everyone, and good luck to the waitlisted.

I actually picked UWO over UofT, I thought the Dentistry faculty building at UofT was atrocious without any windows, although everyone there was very nice. I couldn't imagine spending the next four years in that building. hellothere123, HopefulDDS and Ms. Chip Skylark 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
