Me

seriously though I'm waiting on updates from Mac and I'm going insane. I was hoping they'd update us today and since nothing has happened yet, I'm devastated!!! I've been refreshing my email and this forum like every 20 mins for the entire day

Gotta say, the waitlist info is really encouraging. But this is assuming I would even be on the waitlist and not just straight up rejected based on their new criteria lmao :unsure:

Yeah that graph gives me hope lol...

from 2015-2019 they send out about 300+ offers since 100+ decline... 

So if there is 550 interviews, and 300 offers made you could assume you have a 50-55% chance.

I also wonder if this year there will be even more waitlist movement since they canceled the interviews, people might have a stronger impression of  schools they got to visit.

How does waitlist chance look at Ottawa based on the graphs (if you've read into it). If not, I'll just wait till next week lol

wrt more or less waitlist movement this year - it could be either way in my mind. There could be way more than normal movement because of what you said, or even less than normal because there's the possibility of travel restrictions and online classes that people maybe would end up not selecting other offers.

They don't have it by english and french stream but looking at the graph it says last year. They sent out 244 offers for 156 spots. 

I don't know how many interview at ottawa.

Wow that's kind of crazy compared to Mac where it's consistently like ~60% of interviewees get an offer. I guess the 3 year program is really not that popular

Mac also has more spots 206 spots total vs 154 for ottawa.

Am I the only one who progressively thinks that their interviews went to shit because I keep thinking of things I should've said/not said

noope.. I keep going over ever interview... 

I shook the interview's hand after we were told not to because of covid.... pretty idiot thing to do :eek:...  he told me that he wasn't told that though so hopefully im over thinking it lol
