jll Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 hey guys... just a quick question - do we need to send in our final marks/transcript to ottawa to continue to be on the waitlist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talon01 Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 Were these people off the good or the bad waitlist? Does bad waitlist mean a rejection? It doesn't mean you are rejected per say. It means that it's unlikely that you'll receive an offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biologyguy Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 I've noticed that the NOSM wailist has started moving prior to the May 29th deadline.... does anyone know if this has also happened at Ottawa, or should we expect to only hear about movement around Wednesday of this week?

Figure8s Posted May 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 I emailed the office at Ottawa to find out when 2nd round offers would start, and they said probably (but not surely) after June 15th, when provisional acceptances become firm. Yep, it sucks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siamak Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 what! this does not make sense. I called them and they told me that they will start calling us this week (starting of June, like June 1st). When did you e-mail them, recently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footyfanatic Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 I hope Siamak's info is correct! June 15th is too much, this waiting game isn't just a waiting game, it's stressful, especially if this is your only chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biologyguy Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 Lets hope it is the earlier date - otherwise i am going to go nuts - this is the most strung out thing I have been through - here's to hoping there is light at the end of the tunnel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmdsm Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 It wouldn't make sense for 2nd round of offers to come out after the provisional acceptances become firm, otherwise what is the point of having provisional acceptance? Here's hoping the earlier date is true, this waiting is absolutely killing me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverjelly Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 Well, the date to say "Yes," "Probably," or "No" is May 29 (tomorrow). So, for sure after that date they'll have gotten some people who declined offers, and they should be able to start calling people off the waitlist shortly after.

Figure8s Posted May 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 I hope it's sooner too!! I got the email yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am thinking that they should call some people from the wait list later on this week. June 15th could be the second round of calling people off the wait list.

med hopeful Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 so guys- the minute someone is accepted from the waitlist- please post your wgpa- here's why- if for example it's a 3.87 and other people have 3.9s without acceptances- this will tell a 3.9er that they likely either got a 3.6 or 3.5 interview- the lower the gpa of whoever is accepted from your gpa- the more likely you will be accepted sooner/more likely from the next interview score category down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patiently waiting Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 this wait is driving me insane! hopefully we should hear something starting from tomorrow onwards. apparently a queen's waitlister got an offer of admission today... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biologyguy Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 I'm really surprised there has been no activity in this thread today. Waitlists seem to be moving at all schools except Ottawa as per what I have seen on these forums. Has anyone heard of anyone getting of the waitlist at U of O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biologyguy Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Maybe I should have been clearer with more post - what i meant was has anyone heard of people getting off the waitlist so far this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siamak Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Some good news: I called the admissions office just now and they said that they may start calling us soon (today or tomorrow). I also asked if there is another round of calling people off the wait list and they said that there might be depending on how things go with the first round. So I am guessing that there is a lot of people who decline Ottawa's offer?? but its only a speculation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a MSc student at U of T, and I have 2 publications (one first author) and several abstracts. Sorry I didn't think to ask what my position on the waitlist was. Best of luck to everyone else on the waitlist!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
