Mac is the only one I know of that sends them before the 2 week mark.. not sure if there are others I am also thinking of Mac - they will begin contacting their high waitlist immediately like a day after D-day. You can keep an eye on the size of the FB group for waitlist movement as well (pro tip) MDLD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we're all pretty unsure haha Aw okay thanks for letting me know. Does anyone know if the Mac student portal updates at midnight lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Nystead Posted May 10, 2020 Report Share Posted May 10, 2020 For those asking if SOLUS MOSAIC student centre updates at midnight, do you guys not trust OMSAS update at midnight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Nystead Posted May 10, 2020 Report Share Posted May 10, 2020 Reasons why I will not be refreshing OMSAS or student portals at midnight: Incomplete information: What does no change mean? Am I rejected? Waitlisted? Has the portal decided not to update at midnight? Did some applicants portal status not get updated? It's not worth stressing about these things if there is no offer on OMSAS. Just wait 8 hours till the am Missing information: Which campus have I been assigned to?

theevilsloth Posted May 10, 2020 Report Share Posted May 10, 2020 Meh, missing information = OMSAS not updated. There's no reason why missing information would mean rejection. At worst, checking gives me no information, at best I know that I've been accepted or rejected and I can actually sleep in peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you won’t know if lack of an offer means you’re still getting an offer, or if you’re waitlisted, or rejected. Waitlist and reject status is not shown on OMSAS. I’m not sure myself if I want to check at midnight lol so I’m confused on what to do too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Nystead Posted May 10, 2020 Report Share Posted May 10, 2020 There are 3 guranteed things in life: 1 Death 2 Taxes 3 Offers on OMSAS at midnight (unless last year was a glitch and they wont update until the following day) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guacamole17 Posted May 10, 2020 Report Share Posted May 10, 2020 (edited) wait - do you think that schools only send offers to OMSAS or all results? If so - it wouldn't make sense that the button means rejection right? also for the record - i have the button (3.95 GPA 129 CARS) Edited May 10, 2020 by guacamole17 M9V 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
