Looks like we're done for the day, doesn't look like there was any movement at all

My guess is tomorrow.

I really thought that those who get offers have a week to respond? Wouldn't that mean we won't hear anything until next thursday?

You are right, but I don’t think they sent out all the offers yesterday! That’s not based on anything though 

[GLWL 22]

The weird thing about this year is that they seem to email the offers instead of calling. Technically, they can email all the offers out at once in one day. With calling, it probably takes longer so you would see movement over a few days.

Didn't they do both this year?

But yea there's no doubt that there's that voice in all our heads saying everything was sent out yesterday

But they had to call her, so maybe she just did a few to give her the time to talk to everyone who was accepted yesterday? Just speculating lol

Pretty sure they called and if you didn't answer they e-mailed. Based on previous threads they never sent out all offers in one day, don't think they changed that this year (?)

That's the logical argument for sure, we're just all understandably paranoid

Yes you are right that would make sense. Because if they email everyone at once their phone lines would get absolutely bombarded lol. So let’s pray there is still some initial movement

Everyone that posted that they received an offer from waitlist for English stream yesterday said they received an email and not a call.

[bins 74]

We got an email to call her, and we did and then she confirmed we were still interested. I can't imagine there being more than 50 offers being sent out or she would have been bombarded.

My friend got in. In the email, it said that’s Chantal would be in office until 4PM yesterday, and noon today. My guess is they sent a batch, gave time so people can call back, and tomorrow will continue. If the numbers are the same as past years, there should be about 70-90 waitlist offers, and to send all that in one day and ask them to call back would seem like a lot. Again, just speculating

Hopefully that’s the case!

As an aside, 70-90 offers is insane. Most of the class rejects their offers

Yeah for sure. I think it comes down to distance and multiple offers. People usually opt to stay closer to home

[aaronahc 2]

How much do you guys think the 70-90 waitlist movement is distributed amongst the two streams?  Is 20-25 reasonable for the french stream?

[hey 123 10]

My friend called and asked if they were done the first round for the french stream and the person that answered said no, so im guessing tomorrow?

And so by extension I doubt the first round of English is done since there are more people

Yes that only seems logical because there's WAY more people and movement

[MDrapper 14]

Hey I'm on the bad waitlist, should I even bother hoping to hear back? I have ~ 4.0 Gpa so I'm not sure if that helps even on the bad waitlist.

From doing a lot of digging from past forums, people HAVE gotten in from the "bad" list. It's far from being over. 

[jellybellytelly 39]

for those who got off the waitlist, are you able to accept the offer on omsas? mine hasnt been updated :/

[EG slayer 1]
