Guest Fourier Transformed Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 Hi everyone, I just received an email from Anne Cumpson with an offer of admission. (For those who are still waiting, there is about a 96% chance that the Queen's waitlist will get bumped up another spot. I have provisionally accepted my offer at McMaster because I hadn't decided between the two schools yet, but am leaning towards Mac right now. I'll make my final decision very soon) Good luck!

Guest sultan of slings Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Congratulations on the great news!! What time did these emails come out? I'm wondering if they were sent as a bulk batch, or individually. (Still waiting!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sultan of slings Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Thanks for the reply medRJ and congrats again. Wasn't my day for Queen's today. I'm surprised there hasn't been a lot more activity on this thread today. Am I the only one checking this site religiously!?! I would have thought a lot more people would have heard news after the June 15th acceptance deadline. Back to the waiting now!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest squeegy80 Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 Hey all you waitlisters, good news here. I just got pulled off the Calgary waitlist today and will be withdrawing my provisional acceptance from Queen's, so hopefully one of you will hear soon! Good luck! squeegy P.S. My decision to accept Calgary was mainly due to location, so nothing against Queen's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MD Hammer Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 Oh my gosh guys! I just got the e-mail as well! I was not expecting to get off this waitlist, since I spent all last summer on one, last year! I am so excited to be joining you in this first year class! Good luck to everyone still waiting - don't give up and don't let waiting or rejection get you down - it's ironic, because last night over a heavy conversation with someone special in my life who is dealing with a recent diagnosis that is essentially changing the way she can live her life, I finally got some perspective and realized there are some things in life we cannot control, and we have to accept them - but unlike the thing that she is going through, there is always the perennial hope of next year, or next week off the waitlist, if things don't happen in the immediate future! All the Best, Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kaisermark Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 Just curious - is there anyone who's gotten western but is holding out for Queen's? Any particular reasons why Queen's is a better medschool for you than Western? thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 0nsp Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 Hey guys, I got the email on wednesday as well. however this puts me in a conundrum. Both Queens and UofA are tied for my top choice school, and I got accepted to UofA right away. When I got waitlisted at Queens, the choice was easy. Now decisions have to be made. I hate thinking in the summer . Congrats to all those who also got in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sunmoonandstar Posted June 18, 2005 Report Share Posted June 18, 2005 I guess not all the offers go out in one batch, because I got one on Friday. So don't give up if you're on the list. I'm probably going to decline the offer in favour of Western, so there'll be one more spot opening up. Good luck everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest fever meds Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 i've decided to give up my spot at Queens. I hope this makes someone extremely excited! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest seedstrike Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 Where will you be going fevermeds? And congrats to everyone who's gotten in so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fever meds Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 I recieved a scholarship at Manitoba. It would be really expensive to live in Queens for 4 years plus tuition. Plus my girl friend and family is here. Queens is a really great school. However I feel I can recieve the same education, and quality of clinical exposure here.

Guest seedstrike Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 Congrats Fever. I'm sure you'll have a great time in manitoba...and come out of medschool with a much heavier wallet than most of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ZCH Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 Just got an email...1:40 PM Today Taking it, was planning on going to queen's to finish off undergrad, but this is a definite turnaround from that plan. Congrats and good luck to the waitlist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sultan of slings Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 Congrats ZCH!! You must be on cloud 9 now! I was beginning to think that the waitlist had stopped moving. I hope that this isn't the last of it. Will movement continue into next week? I'm assuming that the July 4th deadline for firm acceptances will be the last chance for anyone on the waitlist.

Guest flying kumquat Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Things seem pretty quiet on the waitlist right now. Does anyone know when we can call in to find out our position on the waitlist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sultan of slings Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 I gave in and called the office today. No one from admissions was around but I was told that the waitlist is still moving (I didn't ask how much it was moving) and that I could call back next week to get more information. That's all I got!! (I wouldn't make much of a detective!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Its interview time Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 Hi guys Get ready for a long post!! I just received the email on June 28....i actually chekced the mail and found out on the 30th. I was in london and was gonna leave on the first to fly to india. I am on vacation rite now and I was started to get incredible depressed in london cause i had no idea what was happening on the waitlists. I felt a bit idiotic since i enjoyed 2 weeks in london and was going to india for 1.5 months!!! I would have nothing to do after i came back from my vacation, but now i got the incredible news!!!!! I am so happy! Now i can enjoy india without any worries. Another thing, what is the best place to live? Does Queen's provide res for teh first year or do we have to arrange it ourselves?? And what are decent off-campus residences? How do I find roommates that I can surive a year with? Thanks in advance for replies. Take care.

Guest seedstrike Posted July 3, 2005 Report Share Posted July 3, 2005 Hi, Congrats on the acceptance. I went through the same thing two years ago so I realize how frustrating waiting can be. That's all over now so enjoy your vacation. As far as the question on housing, my class did a small FAQ for last year's class. Look at question number 3 for some help with finding accomodations in Kingston: meds.queensu.ca/classof20...8/faq.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Isoceles Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 So it seems as if the waitlist is still moving pretty well. When I called Anne Cumpson today to inquire about my position on the waitlist, she told me that she could let me know if I was in the top 20 (I was not :\ ) who would be receiving offers shortly. Seems like a good sign that there are still that many going out. That said, I'm not sure how many people will be turning offers down at this stage in the game... ??
