Even though I’m so far down the list there’s no way it’ll ever move that far! Lol But good catch on the font! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thewaitlist will probably be stagnant until mid May. If it helps you focus on something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilirose Posted April 9, 2020 Report Share Posted April 9, 2020 What are the school releasing their admission in May, @MEDusa? It seems like a lot of school have already given their admission offers, except from UMontreal maybe? I m not following this very closely, but I read here and there that some results are out... There was an offer on the WL today, its at 27 now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about other Canadian universities but I am pretty sure they didn't all release their answers yet. Also, the reason why there was a movement today is because one of the candidates posted earlier this week that they gave up their offer for a career change.

applic Posted April 23, 2020 Report Share Posted April 23, 2020 The waitlist has been awfully quiet. There was a large amount of movement on April 25 last year. Does anyone know when the last day to accept your offer or pay the deposit is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turboturn Posted April 23, 2020 Report Share Posted April 23, 2020 I believe that the deadline to accept the offer and pay the deposit has already passed for all the offers that went out on March 25th and the 2nd wave on March 31st. I would expect the next wave of movement from the waitlist to happen at the end of May. Not sure why there was so much movement around April 25th last year to be honest...

applic Posted May 13, 2020 Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 I don't think they release invites as seats become available so perhaps they're going to send out a bunch at the same time? If you look at the 2018 waitlist movement, I doubt 8 people suddenly decided to refuse their offer overnight on May 31. Quote Next potential offer… April 18th: 5 April 30th: 6 May 9th: 9 May 17th: 10 May 18th: 12 May 23rd: 14 May 31st: 15 June 1st: 23 June 7th: 24 June 27th: 25 July 6th: 26 July 31st: 27 August 6th: 28 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend of mine emailed asking for updates at the end of April and apparently there was still no waitlist movement at that point. Let's hope they're accumulating now. oneday1 and simzuki 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really hard to tell because more people tend to pursue higher education when the economy is down but I'd expect a lot of people not being able to finish their PhD/Master's programs in-time either.

Also very strange how they made 20 or so waitlist offers in the first two weeks following the first wave of offers....usually the WL goes to ~28 in August (2019 for ex.). Right now its sitting at 28 as of Mid-April turboturn and applic 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thus, 3 students have deferred or refused the offer, making it next offer #28. oneday1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember them saying they were negotiating more spots, but I didn't know they actually negotiated for 24 more from Outaouais I mean it’s the only thing that makes sense. It moved 24 spots within a few days of the initial offer. Considering this has never happened before, you can only assume that they succeeded in their negotiations. I’m also pretty bummed that spots haven’t moved since last week’s release of decisions I emailed adcoms and they said they update their waitlist website as soon as it moves. So it doesn’t look like they’re accumulating anything. applic, champagnepapi, MEDusa and 1 other 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
