I initially thought that's how it works but a part of the waitlist email made me think that you still need to tell Queens that you want to be removed from the Queens waitlist? Maybe it is worth calling them to clarify this! I was also waitlisted at Queens. Got my email May 12 at 9:32am. (And for the button theorists, I did have a "reset responses" button on OMSAS) Hoping for good waitlist movement for those of us on the waitlist!

I think queens typically has a big waitlist but they also take 90+ applicants every year off the waitlist, so we all have a decent chance! Do you or anyone know approximately how many people are on the WL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this together I called them, they went to voicemail and said emails only. Does anyone know if Queen's waitlist begins to move before the deadline to accept offers at other Ontario schools (May 26)? Or is it after?

bleh12345 Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 I got waitlisted... Do I need to send an email to confirm I am interested to join the waitlist? If so, how can I do so? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you accept an offer of admission at another school of medicine and no longer wish to be considered at Queen's, we would be grateful if you would let our office know. Please email queensmd@queensu.ca if you wish to have your name removed from the wait list.“ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah... same (also waiting for Mac), but statistically it seems like we have a better chance getting in off waitlist than first round offers!

Just wondering what makes u think we have a better chance now? Multiple schools means better chance I suppose? Probably less likely to be ranked lowly on both (or in your case all three schools).

Just wondering what makes u think we have a better chance now? I think first round offers are 90 ( taking away quarms and indigenous applicants) out of 500 interviewed. ~20% chance And historically they offer to 190 or something by the end. So there are about 100 waitlist offers out of at most 400 people. Since some people are rejected and some remove themselves from the waitlist, it’s definitely more than 25% chance (idk if they over offer... if they do then I’m not sure) fingerscrossed2020 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bleh12345 Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 Someone here said that if I accept an offer from another uni, then i will be removed from the wait list. What happens if I need to make a decision by June 1st for the other university but I am still on the wait list? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waitingontheworld Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 Also wondering what bleh12345 said: so if we get accepted off the waitlist of one school early (school A) and accept it, and I'm still waiting on another school's (school B ) waitlist, will I be taken off school B's waitlist if I accept school A?

I think that’s how it works... they also usually contact you to ask if you’ve accepted any other offers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if you accept an offer, you can wait for your status on a wait list of a different university and if accepted, you can accept the new offer. However, I need confirmation, this is only what I understood from reading Queen's FAQ page: https://www.queensu.ca/admission/covid-19-faqs?utm_campaign=2020-04-14-uar-faqs&utm_medium=email&utm_source=uar (Scroll down to Waitlist FAWS -> Will accepting another offer of admission hurt my chances of getting a waitlist offer from Queen’s?)

This is incorrect. You're getting your information from an undergraduate programs webpage, whose admissions process is quite different from that of the medical school admissions process (OMSAS). Once you accept an offer at one Ontario school, you are removed from all other waitlists in Ontario automatically. In other words, once you accept an offer, you're locked in. https://www.ouac.on.ca/faq/accept-offer-remain-on-wait-lists/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
