KinderSurprise Posted May 14, 2019 Report Share Posted May 14, 2019 Never give up. We’re all worthy candidates. We all made it very far. We all should be very proud of ourselves. Every journey is different, serpentine, rarely a straightforward line.

hihello Posted May 18, 2019 Report Share Posted May 18, 2019 Does anyone know anything about emailing the school and expressing interest in their program if you’re on the waitlist? I know it is common in the States but unsure if it’s beneficial (or even a thing) here in Canada Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In such an emotionally charged situation some might act out of impulse instead of looking for this type of thing Maggie19 and hihello 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do we see the time that the email was sent vs when we received it? Also, would you say that the time stamp is indicative of your placement on the waitlist?

Also, would you say that the time stamp is indicative of your placement on the waitlist? If you are on gmail, click the three dots in the right of your email, then click show original source, and scroll down a bit to see sent time. Honestly, I do believe it is. I was in this position last year where everyone on the good waitlist was either 7:45 or 7:46. Nobody that had a 7:46 timestamp got in, and nearly everyone from the 7:45 got in. I was at the end of the 7:45 bin seconds wise, and I didn’t get in, so I believe it stopped pretty close to where I was on the list. One thing we can’t predict is how many people are placed in each minute timestamp. Last year it stopped at the end of 7:45, but this year there could be more people in the 7:19 than the 7:18 for example, and it may continue through it a bit. I don’t mean to crush anyone’s hopes, it isn’t 100% confirmed, so when people start getting called, we will get a better idea if they can share their gpa and seconds timestamp. Someone also asked about why there are some people who have 7:17. Those people all seem to be 7:17:5X so my speculation is that they are in the bin that Ottawa finished at when they sent the initial 116 offers. So what should happen on the 29th is those on 7:17 will hear first, then it will pass through 7:18 gradually, and hopefully into 7:19 if there is significant movement. ryewind 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLWL Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 Also, I checked the AFMC 2019 PDF and it shows that last year, 84 people declined their offer at uOttawa (English and French). 2017/2018 - 84 declined 2016/2017 - 93 declined 2015/2016 - 93 declined 2014/2015 - 88 declined. So let’s hope it’s a decent amount this year lol. rganglion and ryewind 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
