Medhopeful1993 Posted March 26, 2021 Report Share Posted March 26, 2021 Hi Everyone! Thought I would make a McGill waitlist thread to follow and keep track of the (hopeful) waitlist movement. If you are planning on declining or deferring your offer, or know someone who is, please post that info here! If you are currently on the waitlist feel free to share if you will be accepting or declining and what number you are. Also specify if you are an IP or OOP applicant. This thread will help current and future applicants! As I am posting this, the waitlist movement has not been posted on the McGill dent website yet but I will update once it is!

PreMed#219099 Posted March 30, 2021 Report Share Posted March 30, 2021 Any other McGill DMD wait-listers notice that the 'basic life support documents upload' is gone from Minerva as an option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tangerine68 Posted March 31, 2021 Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 Does anyone know how much the list TYPICALLY moves for OOP historically? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentistrydmd Posted March 31, 2021 Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 About 10-12 you have a fair chance of getting in. But it varies from year to year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zdoq Posted March 31, 2021 Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 How is it possible that there is that much movement when there are only 40 seats per class at McGill? Especially for OOP when most of the class is from IP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dentistrydmd Posted March 31, 2021 Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 1 hour ago, JingleJingle said: Perhaps more OOP people like to stay within their own province there are typically around 7 out of province spots and most people like to stay close to home. Also typically the out of province candidates get in to their home province programs because they are good candidates, so there is more movement. Another reason is that Mcgill candidates tend to apply to both Med and dent so if accepted to Med that would also be a cause for movement depending on the persons preferences.

DPH Posted March 31, 2021 Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 I can't speak to other years, but last year OOP movement was 5-7 spots. When i spoke to upper year McGill Dental students, I think 7 may be the usual amount of movement that we could expect. Good Luck everyone! zdoq and Tangerine68 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XD Yeah one year they had a lot of double applicants to Med and dent because there was no requirement of the dat (and neither for mcat) so it moved 25 spots. But that was a fluke year, since they instituted the dat requirement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but most people didn’t know that the change occurred so I don’t think it’ll be as big as that year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
