[Helpimscared 4]

For those of us waitlisted, to use this thread to provide support and information.

For both OOP and IP?

@Helpimscared @Premed12345 are any of you OOP and planning on rejecting the offer?

[Premed12345 6]

I'm OOP and waitlisted (3rd quartile). I won't reject an offer unless I get off the U of A waitlist.

Yes.

How many people usually get in off waitlist

[littleappythatcould 7]

Hi everyone! Congrats on getting this far. 

Just wondering how long accepted offers have to confirm with the College that they are in fact accepting. Anyone know?

I'm IP waitlist, first quartile... not sure if I should expect to get in or not but I'm very hopeful. I will NOT be rejecting my offer if I get one Congrats to everyone accepted!!!!

I am wracking my brain trying to figure out if 4th quartile is the top or if 1st is. My cursory look at wikipedia makes me think that 4th is the top of the ranking.

My email says they will be starting with the 1st quartile, so I think that 1st quartile is the top of the ranking

[zoxy 4]

1st is top of the ranking and fourth is at the bottom. My OOP clearly states so.

[tallshirts 33]

Ah yes, I see that reference to "starting with the first quartile" in my IP email as well. What a rollercoaster.

[BobSmith777 2]

@zoxy what quartile were you if you don't mind me asking?

I'm OOP waitlisted, in the third quartile

Looks like we're both in the 1st quartile, so good luck to both of us

3rd Quartile like you.

[littleappythatcould 7]

In province also waitlisted 1st quartile. Rollercoaster indeed! 
trying to see how much Waitlist moved last few years but not really getting a clear picture...

[Kylo Renin 4]

I’m out of province, 4th quartile unfortunately. Not holding my breath aha, oh well

[tallshirts 33]

FWIW, I was waitlisted last year (they didn't say rank), and I wasn't notified until July 31. They had apparently been contacting people at the bottom of the list (indicating rejection) well before that.

I know a couple of IP applicants who got in off the wait list in mid-June in the past couple of years but I also don't have a clear picture. Regardless, I'm sure we won't see much, if any, movement until after the deadline to accept for the first round of offers. Such an emotional rollercoaster

I posted this in the other thread as well but I thought I'd post it here as well. My OOP 3rd quartile email says that due to the uncertainty I should make alternative plans. Does the OOP 2nd quartile wait list email say the same thing?

 

Edit: Was answered in the other thread.

Did they tell you how many they put on your waitlist?
