When you guys say 7:25, is that when you received the e-mail or when it says the e-mail was created? I can't seem to find what y'all are talking about regarding the creation time. 

both for me

Waitlist at 7:25 (does that mean anything)?

Are you French stream? If you are English that should be very high on the WL! Most didn’t come till around 7:38-7:45 for English

Waitlist at 7:25 for the French stream. In your experience, when does the French WL move the most? 

in the next few days as the result from Quebec schools are coming out tomorrow at 4pm! i was waitlisted too last year and managed to get an offer after a month of wl though. Best of luck 

[BingBop 47]

Looks like you're pretty much at the top of the waiting list then Zack. Seems like I'm probably quite a bit further down at 7:40. 

Congrats man, expect an e-mail from them soon. 

[MedSchoolHope101 28]

For me its the time at which I received the email, I got the email on outlook so I don't know how to see the time of creation :/ 

[Ontario have mercy 24]

Does uOttawa waitlist move before May 26? (English stream)

On good waiting list but got an offer from Mac

Idk, even french stream though?

[tennie 39]

waitlisted! i can’t figure out how to tell the time the email was sent from the outlook app on my phone lol so i’ll update later if i ever do  

congrats to everyone that received an offer!!! 

[Fakeabat 8]

Waitlisted (with no indication of bad waitlist in the email), and my email was created at 7:37am. I'm going to be accepting my offer to McMaster, but wanted to update the forum with my timestamp. Good luck everyone!

[BingBop 47]

For the neurotic premeds of the future searching frantically through this thread in 2021, don't expect to see anything on OMSAS at midnight. In addition, acceptances go out by 7:15 it seems judging by the past three years. Good waitlists seem to go out by 8 AM. 

 

Good luck all.

If I remember correctly, you need to open the email (so double click on it), then right click, and go to "View Source". I think it says it somewhere in there.

[FriendlyApple 7]

Bad waitlisted at 7:51 am, not surprised at all given how terrible my interview experience was at uOttawa. Best of luck to everyone!

[mdhopefullyidk 16]

Does Ottawa wait the full 2 weeks before accepting off waitlist? Or will they start right away as people decline their offers?

[takasugi 98]

Btw, this is the bad waitlist email:

 

Your name has been placed on a waiting list.  However, I must inform you, that, given your rank on this list, you are unlikely to receive an offer. You will be notified by telephone or e-mail communication if your name appears at the top of the list, should a vacancy occur before September.

I can't find view source, sorry... I only see message details and it says 11:25 +000, so I am assuming it was probably created at 7:25, the time I received it.

Are you french or english stream?

[newguy23 3]

I'm so confused. I was bad waitlisted at 7:53 am. The interview went so well

Last year I was good waitlisted and the interview was absolutely terrible. I was stuttering and nervous. This year I was calm, collected, confident, and I felt like I was able to relate the questions to personal stories really well.....what happened?

Thanks a lot!! Will Ottawa start sending emails for the WL right away? If they get many students from Quebec refusing their offer tomorrow, for example, will they contact us this week?

Also, how have you been liking Ottawa this past year?

[BENQQQQQ 11]

Waitlisted (no indication of bad) received at 7:47, and i was using yahoo email could only tell the "original receiving time" was 7:46, anyone has any idea how to check when it was sent on yahoo?

What did your email say for bad waitlist? And I'm so sorry !

[DrHopes 58]

I was waitlisted at 7:25 (and 1 second, lol) for the french stream as well.... We are 3 ?

It is so hard to not know our rank.

Last year, my friend received his WL email at 7:26 (french as well) and never received an offer. I received my bad WL email at 7:29. Trying not to get paranoid with this -- last year was last year. 
 

On va y arriver ! Courage !
