MDLD Posted May 18, 2020 Report Share Posted May 18, 2020 2 hours ago, premed1995 said: So how far into the waitlist do people assume they will go? At least 100 or do you think more? Recent years they have had to send out at least 100 more offers. 2014: 116 more offers 2015: 126 more offers 2016: 123 more offers 2017: 114 more offers 2018: 126 more offers Not sure how the lottery and COVID will change things justamom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedWonderer Posted May 18, 2020 Report Share Posted May 18, 2020 Keep in mind though that 50 of those offers above may have already been sent out as they usually over offer initially. MDLD and justamom 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronDuck Posted May 18, 2020 Report Share Posted May 18, 2020 Just wanted to pop in and wish you guys the best of luck! I was also waitlisted last year at Mac (my only interview), so understand how frustrating and anxiety-inducing it can be, especially with the lottery system.

Dr. Doofenshmirtz Posted May 18, 2020 Report Share Posted May 18, 2020 Does anyone know how many people are in this years facebook group? Maybe that will give some insight into how many people have accepted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that will give some insight into how many people have accepted? The class for class of 2023 is currently 483 people. Don't think we be able to tell much from that, for reference class of 2022 is 560 and class of 2021 is 559 and class of 2020 is 587 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fingerscrossed2020 Posted May 18, 2020 Report Share Posted May 18, 2020 I definitely wouldn’t look at the fb groups as an indicator, the regional campus groups already have way more members than they have spots at those campuses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many upper years 2022s, 2021s, 2020s are in the main group and the upper years for each regional campus are in the regional campus groups as well. The best gauge for WL movement still remains members like you all contributing when you get the email from Wendy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming no over-offering initially and traditional WL movement of ~100, roughly 1/3 of waitlisters will make it off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDWoman Posted May 19, 2020 Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 I think tomorrow is the first day we can expect some movement. Usually in previous years people posted around the 8th/9th day after D-Day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psych Posted May 19, 2020 Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 I will be accepting my uOttawa offer over Mac, hope this gives some hope to those on the waitlist! Although I declined Mac partially due to worries about COVID, it is still a great school and I'm sure I would have loved my time there, so don't feel discouraged to anyone who has Mac as their only offer M9V, lizaloo223, Weluvmedicine and 9 others 10 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't matter what they ranked, when they get a WL offer, they get the campus that the person who's spot they got, had received. Once you're on on WL, your rankings don't matter.
