Confused because nobody's posted about HWL acceptances yet? Also does anyone know if you "verbally accept" can you still think about it for a few days and decline after receiving the letter/package? Just wondering how binding the verbal acceptance is. Did you verbally accept? Why would you that if you're already accepted to UBC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had pretty much considered my NWL an R so didn't take any time to think about UWO vs. UBC prior to receiving the call. I was quite flustered/shocked and wanted to take longer than 30 seconds on the phone to make that decision (because I do have the option of forfeiting my UBC deposit to accept UWO if I would much prefer UWO) so I asked them to call me back tomorrow after I had the evening to decide. I was asking because I was wondering if I could verbally accept tomorrow and take a few days to think, but after thinking about everyone else who's stressing on the WL and calling my family I've decided to verbally decline since I'm 99% sure I want to stick with UBC.

dusah Posted May 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2021 Hmm maybe they switched up NW emails with HW emails? Not sure what to think at this point.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just looked back at the other forum site, specifically the poll showing the A/HWL/NWL/LWL/R breakdown and the # of people on HWL vs NWL wouldn’t make sense if that were true (since I assume HWL is a smaller pool) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dusah Posted May 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 But practically speaking it doesn’t make sense that only one person would receive an offer off the waitlist today, especially that late in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only other idea I have is they might have some alternative admissions process kinda like UofC's "white flagging" process and I got in that way?

No point having a high waitlist unless if is used as such. So I have no idea yet why that would have happened. Alkm396 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hopefulpremedic Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 Another (hopeful) possibility is that they had a list of however many students that they need to call over the next few days and this particular officer decided to start yesterday and had the NWL batch of students?

MD9511 Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 It's probably best to email the admission office to sort this out because they are likely working from home. RBG 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
