Guest Braces2005 Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 wow that's incredible. Do you recall the stats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest OhB1 Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Regarding the stats, I dont remember them exactly but basically: 7 offers have been extended which includes international students as well as deferred offers from last year. The number of applications increased by roughly 100 this year (I think about 500 apps). 253 interview invitations extended, with a reading comp requirement of at least 19 on the DAT. Expected class size is 53... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Braces2005 Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 They must be international students because UWO does not defer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hippo55 Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 well they kind of do b/c a dental student I was talking to said last year a guy in 1st year stuck his hand through a glass door during the start of the term and was out for the rest of the year... so he's probably one of the 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest nataltula Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 what do you say the average GPA for this year class will be? Does it matter if you are third or fourth year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tamkhan1 Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 uwo will even defer on academic basis. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eggy88 Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 One of my interviewers said that we should be hearing from the admissions a week from the interview (I didn't ask further). I guess that would correspond to the 15 acceptances. I was wondering if they will be sending out some rejections at that time also? Considering that there are 240 applicants for 30 spots (52 - 7deferred - 15top students = 30 seats available), won't they know for sure that some students would definitely not be considered just based on their interview performance? Or are we going to hear about all the rejections and the 30 acceptances all at the end of june? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tamkhan1 Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 i think they'll release the interview marks in a week or two, but decisions, rejection/acceptances, are released in june. im not sure, though. people who had an interview at uwo last year, might be able to enlighten us on this.

Guest Mr Shakur Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Hey, Im acutaly in UWO dental, I helped out with the interviews so i thot id help ya out a lil bit... Yes, there are 7 deferals and international offers Yes, the top 15 will be getting offers soon-ish No, you will not get your interview mark. You will get an email in (late) June, letting u know whether u got in, waitlisted, or not. And why would u pick UWO over U of T, because the clinical skills at western kick ass on those at U of T. Why pick UWO over UBC, cuz its 20Gz a year cheaper, and its actually a dental school, instead of a med/dent hybrid. Hope that helps. O yes, and if you dont enjoy having fun, i suggest you dont choose UWO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nataltula Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 I have some friends at UofT, and I think everyone is underestimating the clinical work there. And also, you can never take away UofT's amazing reputation... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest eggy88 Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Just to clarify, will we ever know our interview marks? Will we know in late june when they send out the results - accept, waitlist, etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tonick Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 I called them and they said that UWO interview marks historically are never released, so they probably wouldn't start that practice now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Massari Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Ahh...good times at UWO. It was my second time around there. They apparently moved the lunch buffet to some other coffee room; last year it was right by the room with the projector screen. I can't stand their mind games.

Guest Aplusdent Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 Is UWO the latest school in notifying people?? Late June sounds pretty ridiculous considering some U.S. schools start in July...that doesn't leave very much time to get situated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Aplusdent Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 So which school has the earliest acceptance notification?? When are the earliest interviews? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sensodyne Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 ubc has the earliest interviews and earliest acceptances. This is the only way they can get their applicants to pay the 8900 deposit.:x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest OhB1 Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 Just got an email update from Western....basically they have confirmed that they will be offering early acceptance to the top 15 applicants. Regarding timing, the email just says that letters will be sent out "shortly". For everyone else, results wont be out until late june. Good luck everyone!

Guest tamkhan1 Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 instead of sending out 'letters', why dont they just email and make things easier for everyone:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sensodyne Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 mail from Ontario to BC is going to take at least 5 business days. great! more waiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shesallDAT Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Do you think by 'letters' they really meant e-mails? All of their correspondence so far has been by e-mail, and I believe final admissions in June are e-mailed as well (with a letter to follow up), so why would they send letters just for this?
