lizaloo223 36 Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 When does the Mac waitlist start to move? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LetsTryThisAgain19 43 Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 This is a good idea, I just wanna say as someone on their 5th cycle this is the closest I've come to an acceptance and as much as it hurts that I wasn't in control of my own destiny (not being able to interview). I hope we get some movement and some of us still get to see our dreams come true. You're all rockstars reginageorge and lm4444 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I predict Mac will need to make more offers to fill up its spot However, then number of applicants that take themselves off the waitlist by accepting another offer is not tracked but I imagine it would be high too Quote Link to post Share on other sites
James Nystead 252 Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 Seems like waitlist order isnt randomized but by pre-interview ranking "In the event that applicants who were offered admission do not accept, we will make offers on a rolling basis, in rank order, to those on Wait List" Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Esp when it has no significance when its done by lottery. Just end my suffering if Im at the bottom Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MDLD 154 Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 Do we know if people got stright out rejected. Just want to know if I'm on a WL with like 350 other people ... so i can stop hoping Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And that waitlist movement seems plausible Quote Link to post Share on other sites
anon31 4 Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 Waitlisted as well. Had the button. Timestamp: 8:14. Guess its better than a reject, but I feel like I'm in purgatory. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And that waitlist movement seems plausible The waitlist moves by more than 100. Mac offered 114 waitlist applicants in 2017-18. However, the waitlist also moves when those with Ontario offers and Mac waitlist accepts the Ontario offer and takes themselves off Mac waitlist Quote Link to post Share on other sites
