Coolcoolcool Posted February 29, 2020 Report Share Posted February 29, 2020 Does any movement happen right after the deposit deadline? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d616 Posted February 29, 2020 Report Share Posted February 29, 2020 I also got waitlisted - is there any way to know our ranking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themeister Posted February 29, 2020 Report Share Posted February 29, 2020 3rd Year Biology 3.96 GPA 21AA/18PAT IP Anyone knows the deadline for med school acceptances? That would be a big catalyst to move the dental waitlist as students switch to the clearly inferior field Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toothurty Posted February 29, 2020 Report Share Posted February 29, 2020 As a previous waitlister dont lose hope guys! Expect movements to happen after the first deposit deadline, then the next swing after med acceptances and other dental school’s acceptances and the majority of movement around the second deposit deadline. PM me if you have any questions! cincotres 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maytheflossbewithyou Posted March 1, 2020 Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 I wonder if everyone who got waitlisted received the same email...really wish they at least provided a HWL, NWL or LWL statement themeister 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand their objective for hiding the waitlist ranking. Now I have to spend all my summer taking summer courses and preparing to rewrite the DAT. Imagine burning yourself out and then getting an email in august that you got cleared off the waitlist and you will start school in a week. I don't want to go to dental school burnt out... Plus, we have to spend the next 6 months waiting for the coin to flip to find out if I'm in or not. If I knew i'm HWL, I would've dropped half my courses and I simply had to maintain a 3.3 avg instead of grinding out another spree of A+ marks plus I could've enjoyed my summer. It's very unsettling. They harm the summer and mental health of their waitlist in exchange for keeping the school's statistics ambiguous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cincotres Posted March 2, 2020 Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 Are we supposed to get all the vaccinations on the form done to maintain eligibility? Just wondering if they're really strict about it or if there is some leniency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering if they're really strict about it or if there is some leniency. Contact the school, but I doubt it. If you get into another school you're going to need to get them done anyways. I needed them for western but brought along the U of T sheet as well and so when I got off the waitlist I didn't need to go hunting for any further verification/proof of vaccination. cincotres 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They harm the summer and mental health of their waitlist in exchange for keeping the school's statistics ambiguous. For sure. Definitely don't think there needs to be this degree of secrecy!!
