Kyle Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Does anyone know if the OOP applicants receive the letters with the IP pool or is it separate? Also, is it via snail mail or e-mail for OOP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlebuster Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Last year they sent emails to the OOP on "The Day" followed by the usual snail mail letter (for your scrapbooks ). I seem to think that they are all sent out at the same time (IP and OOP), but some people are convinced there's "Batching" that goes on. They also sent emails to those IP some distance out of wpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted May 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Thanks Littlebuster. I really hope they send e-mails because waiting for snail mail is like pulling teeth... for days! Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrGecko Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 I just heard! I'm OOP. I got an email saying that I am on the waitlist... rarrrrrrr. I'm also on the Calgary waitlist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishy81 Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 I think a lot of ppl are accepted off the waitlist for UMan. So, it's a good thing, and congrats, DrGecko! Did they tell you the position on waitlist by any chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lth Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 Hey, I was just placed on the OOP waitlist as well through e-mail. I have to tell you, after hearing that people were getting both waitlist and acceptance letters, I was afraid that I was in the other "unmentionable" pile. The letters are personalized, so I wouldn't worry if people haven't received theirs yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vip_138 Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 hey, are you guys posting right after you get the email (are they sending them out sequentially)? and if so, can you post your initials (incase their doing this alphabetically) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lth Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 I posted mine right after I received it. My initials are LH, and my guess is that they are doing this alphabetically by last name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moose Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 how many people are on the waitlist? and when do you guys recon it'll move? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vip_138 Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 from what i've heard, about 30-40 ppl are waitlisted and i'm guessing it'll start moving in a couple weeks, till the end of summer. Don't be too worried since the OOP waitlist moves quite a bit for manitoba. I remember my academic advisor telling me they had to got through 40 ppl two years ago before they found 10 to accept. Altho this year might be different becuase of the western ontario thing. don't know how that's gonna go down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xylem29 Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 Got the email just now, it was timed at 4:21 though (eastern). I am also waitlisted - I wonder if they waitlist all OOP applicants or if they also send out rejections as well? Anyway, a waitlist last year almost gauranteed an acceptance - not sure if it'll be the same this year.... I remember one first year student tell me that applicants in the first two quartiles get waitlisted (first 10 obviously get accepted) and the bottom two quartiles get rejected? Anyway, I hope that the IP applicants who got accepted but who will turn down the offer use the forums and inform us when they withdraw!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xylem29 Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 Anyone know how they will be contacting people from the w.list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UBCstu Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 How many ppl are put on the OOP waitlist? I think only 50 OOP applicants were interviewed this year and of those 10 were already offered acceptances and some ppl rejected as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xylem29 Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 What Western Ontario thing are you referring to? I think he/she meant the consideration of Thunder Bay residents as IP but letting them compete for our OOP seats...there's only 10 of these applicants anyway, but we'll see what happens. I know that due to the deadline with OMSAS, waiting lists for ON schools start moving first week of June. Does anyone know when the waiting list for Manitoba generally start moving? For those accepted, how long do you have to make your decision? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UBCstu Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 Does anyone know how many of the OOP seats are being given to the Thunder Bay residents? Also, will these seats only be given to the them if admissions has a difficult time filling up the OOP spots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, will these seats only be given to the them if admissions has a difficult time filling up the OOP spots? It's in another thread - basically, they aren't being "given" our seats. What was said, was that out of 60 interviewees this year, 10 were reserved for them. All 60 applicants compete for the OOP seats - the big unfair thing is that these 10 applicants are considered IP.

roycer Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 If Thunder Bay residents are considered IP, are they competing for both IP and OOP spots? They are IP applicants competing for the 10 OOP spots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All 60 applicants compete for the OOP seats - the big unfair thing is that these 10 applicants are considered IP. but is there a limit to how many of these spots actually can go to Thunder Bay residents? I am on the waitlist so this could really affect my chances of getting in. This whole thing is just really confusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xylem29 Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 No, I don't think the Thunder Bay residents are competing for IP seats - only OOP seats, they are only 10 out of 60. Yes UBCstu, the whole point of reserving 10 interview spots for them and then scoring their files as if they were IP instead of OOP obviously gives them an advantage - it is a response to last years event where they had to make 48 offers (out of 60 interviewed applicants) and they still only managed to fill 8 of the OOP spots. This is pretty embarrassing, b/c this means they probably went through their entire waiting list...and still didn't fill the 10 seats. Had we only applied last year!!!!!!!!!

lth Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 So did any OOP from this board receive an acceptance yesterday? It doesn't seem like it, and that strikes me as slightly fishy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
