I have to believe they use their waitlists because I know people who have gotten off them before. Fingers crossed for us all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed for us all! I know Western uses their waitlist heavily but Queen’s told me the last few years they haven’t but I’ve looked at all the OT/PT forums dating back to 2020 and each year there has been a handful of people that have gotten off the OT waitlist for Queen’s so idk if she just meant there isn’t a ton of people that come off the waitlist or what Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eggheadpt Posted May 21 Report Share Posted May 21 Hi, I already submitted a provisional acceptance on ORPAS for Western OT. However upon reviewing the Western student portal, I see another option to accept. Should I click it? Or will it remove me off the waitlist of other schools? I’m worried if I don’t click it I will lose my offer but if I do click it I’ll get removed off the other waitlists! Thanks in advance for your help!

Super anxious and not sure if I’ll get an offer I’m also on the western waitlist and I’m in the middle third which is making me really anxious because in the past they have sometimes gone all the way down to middle third but not always..not sure what to expect. It seems like a 50/50 shot at this point. Do you know where you are at in the waitlist? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTOT1234 Posted May 21 Report Share Posted May 21 Does anyone know how much Mac OT uses their waitlist? I looked back at 2023's forum and it looks like a lot of people received 2nd round offers. I'm just nervous because it seems like they put everyone on the wait list who did not receive first-round offers (who did the interview), so I have no idea what to expect!

Whether if you received an offer or not, I hope you’re proud of yourself for all the hard work put in<3 I am very lucky to have gotten offers at both UoT and McMaster for OT. I think as of now I’m leaning more towards McMaster…but I am still on the fence! I’ve done a bit of research on both schools and what other people have said, but just curious if anyone here has any pros or cons related to either? Honestly ANYTHING is appreciated!! Thanks in advance! I also got accepted for the same. Currently leaning towards UofT but would also love some more input! I will be moving from BC if anyone else is looking for housing!
