Accepted/Rejected/Waitlisted??? (for current applicants)

[Jummyneutrondexter]

It looks like they chose out of the first weekend and then picked the top from the second weekend (people with panels).

 

A big let down as it sounded like panels were synonymous with offers or at most waitlist

There was no benefit to having an in-person interview.

Rejected. Had online panel. Feel so lost right now, I thought I had at least waitlist in the bag and performed really well at the interview... 

Once I pick myself up off the floor I'll have to start considering next steps..

I'm not sure, when did u get ur waitlist notification? Usually they send in batches and possibly in alphabetal order to prevent their servers from crashing.

[waitingontheworld]

@MDrapper I got my notification at 9:32am. From what's been posted thus far, acceptances came at 9:31am and waitlist emails began at 9:32 to 9:34. However it seems based on older posts from previous years that timestamp may not be a factor.  Glad to have other people to talk to while we wait it out together!

Is there anyone here that will be declining a McMaster offer by accepting Queens, or indirectly removing themselves from the McMaster waitlist by accepting Queens?

Will be Accepting Western over McMaster because of the terrible job McMaster has done with admissions this year and I don't want specialty/residency schools to look down upon me as being part of the "lottery" class in the future.

I'm taking Western over Queens because a smaller town like Kingston will not have as many opportunities down the road for specialties. I also don't like the long-distance commuting to hospitals in areas around Kingston since they have very few hospitals. 

Good luck everyone!
