newbie978 Posted January 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 do the chances of getting an interview off the waitlist diminish as it gets closer to interview date? I'm waitlisted and not sure how many people have been waitlisted this year/ are my chances of getting off the waitlist realistic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm waitlisted and not sure how many people have been waitlisted this year/ are my chances of getting off the waitlist realistic? From McGill's website : "A small number of applicants will be retained on a waiting list for interviews, should an interview slot become available (if an invited applicant declines). If no interview slot becomes available, these applicants will receive an official notice of refusal shortly after the interview dates for their applicant cohort." (source : https://www.mcgill.ca/medadmissions/after-youve-applied/admissions-decisions) So my guess would be that your chances decrease over time... When we get an invite, we have 5 days to answer positively or negatively. Don't loose hope yet! newbie978 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is always a chance until you receive a rejection letter. It may be weak (no one knows), but it exists. Good luck !!

Jacklib Posted February 6, 2020 Report Share Posted February 6, 2020 If you're on the waitlist for interviews, how "last minute" can they contact you? I won't be in Montreal during the interview dates, so I'm wondering if they would give you a heads up for the next day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally was not on the waitlist but some people who were on the pre-interview waitlist last year were contacted a day or two before. It goes based on when someone who got an interview backs out and that can happen at any time. Jacklib and aTiNyWoRm 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xXHeyHiHelloXx Posted February 17, 2020 Report Share Posted February 17, 2020 I was on the waitlist, but it changed to "refused" today. Anyone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex_lane Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 Same here. Wondering if it’s automatic for everyone who was waitlisted at this point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xdfghj1234 Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 yeah I'm also wondering if they just kept very few people on the waitlist who could statistically get a spot from a last minute cancellation and just changed the status of the rest of us to refused...

That seems most likely. Wouldn’t have minded if they’d decided to do that before I flew to Montreal for the week... Mel96b 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xdfghj1234 Posted February 19, 2020 Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 indeed.... I don't really understand why our ranks are not giving to us in the first place on the waitlist, it would have made this process much less stressful (and for you, probably much less expensive) Mel96b and 53C 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
