AgainOmsasSmh Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 I don’t have an offer from U of T on OMSAS, so apparently rejected, but didn’t get any email yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casablanca Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 I have an offer from another Ontario school, but Queen's is my first choice, and I was waitlisted at Queen's. If I accept the offer from the other Ontario school, will I automatically get removed from the Queen's waitlist by OMSAS? I was confused by the wording of the waitlist email: "Please note you do not need to confirm if you wish to remain on our list. If you accept an offer of admission at another school of medicine and no longer wish to be considered at Queen's, we would be grateful if you would let our office know. Please email queensmd@queensu.ca if you wish to have your name removed from the wait list." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't hear from them then, then maybe lock in your choice for the time being. I'm not sure how the system works but hopefully this is helpful!

So I accepted at the time a school that wasn't my first choice (which in hindsight thank God I did). But usually waitlist offers don't come out until after the first round deadline. A" loophole" if you're free to accept an oop school. But who's to say you'll get called of Queen's waitlist, take your acceptance and run!

PequalsMD Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 @Casablanca OMSAS will also notify the other schools if you accept an offer in Ontario so you are removed off any waitlists. I think Queens asks you to tell them to speed up communication. But even if you don't they will find out eventually I believe.

If you see an offer on OMSAS, you're in, and there is no need to email. If you don't see anything in terms of an offer, I'd also just wait it out.

This is the case with every Med school in Ontario. Successful applicants tend to get accepted at multiple places and the waitlist moves quite a lot (least movement is for U of T, ~100 seats movement for other Ontario schools).

There is no way 100 people move off the waitlist in a school (queens) with 100 students. I'm not saying queens is a bad school im joking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
