I will be! If anyone wants to know why I will reject Queens and McMaster I can chat or you can look at my past posts

Is there anyone who is or may be declining a NOSM offer?

Hi guys, I have a question. If you accept one offer, does your name get withdrawn from all other schools or can you still be kept on the waiting list? 

Yes I believe so. I think the only situation this doesn't apply to is out of province schools. So for example, Alberta or McGill wouldn't know if you accepted an Ontario school. An Ontario school will know if you accept another Ontario offer and will remove you off their waiting list.

Please fill out the McMaster 2019-2020 exit poll with your outcome and decision

I thought that way too, but apparently it's more of a hindrance. People tend to get to know each other early on then just split off into their own groups, that's been the constant I've heard from a lot of people from the different schools. Small class sizes just means that you'll have less people you can get to know. It's only in smaller places like regional campuses at Mac or Queens where I know a few of my friends are complaining about the gossip culture which isn't nearly as bad in larger class sizes.

Just putting that out there since hearing that perspective from different people made me reconsider.

Coming from an undergrad program quite a bit smaller than QMED (my future family <3 ) I will say that there are many positives and downsides to a small class. You get to know everyone really well, which can mean personalities clash, but can also mean you get to know profs really well and develop some deep relationships. I personally think all class sizes have advantages and disadvantages and it depends on the type of learner/socializer you are.

P.S. Congrats to all those who got acceptances today, and also those who didn't. Applying is a huge hurdle and something to be proud of either way

Please fill out the results and decisions of your Western interview, thank you

Northern96, how did things turn out?

Regrets, unfortunately! I'll be pursuing another healthcare program instead. Congrats to all those who applied!

[HouseBunny 7]

Is there anyone that got accepted to UofT Dentistry that will be rejecting their offer to move up the waitlist?

Oh wow  sorry to hear! I haven't seen anyone post that they got into NOSM. There's a couple of us waitlisted but that's it

[k9teeth 5]

When is the deadline to accept or decline offers? And when should we start to see Waitlist movement?

[k9teeth 5]

Is there anyone that got accepted to McGill dentistry (IP) that will be declining their offer. I’d love to see some Waitlist movement! 

[TheFlyGuy 98]

The deadline to accept offers is 2 weeks, so the 26th. Most schools don’t do waitlist movement until after that time afaik, but I believe there’s at least some (Mac I think?) that do.

This year Ottawa has already started their waitlist movement so schools may be working differently 

[Médicomage 237]

Sorry for double posting it. But it's to show my sincere solidarity with you guys as well, since the #buttongate and the lottery and all. So I hope you will forgive me! <3
