med hopeful Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 ppl accepted off the waitlist- any of you guys graduate pool or regular applicants? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siamak Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 ppl accepted off the waitlist- any of you guys graduate pool or regular applicants? Does it matter? I thought that after we receive the interview then we are all equal. But this is a good point, maybe they called the grad pool first?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
med hopeful Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 lol I dunno- I heard a rumor that 33% of the class is graduate/ like an 'unspoken' quota- so I dunno if that has any bearing? I'm just curious... So clearly with the 3.99 getting in- we know we've either hit the 3.6s or we're in the 3.5s... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think that maybe they called the people who were 3.75 but with low WGPA's (at the top of the waiting list) and then the 3.6's with high GPA's.

biologyguy Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 This is a little bit of a late posting, but I am thrilled to say I was accepted off the waitlist today... I got a message on my machine at 4:45 pm Ontario time from my dad to call Ottawa. I had to pull my car over to the side of the road when I got the news on my cell phone!! My GPA was 3.87 (OMSAS) and I just graduated with a B.ScH in Biology. I have one upcoming publication and a variety of ec's. Good luck to everyone still waiting - i think there will be more good news to come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patiently waiting Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 I got accepted off the waitlist earlier today and I'm from the grad pool. To the others who got an offer off the waitlist, have you received an email yet? Good luck to everyone who is still waiting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OttawaHopeful Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 I was called off the waitlist around 2:14 today. An email followed at 3:00 because I hadn't responded. Called in to confirm my interest at around 3:30. I have yet to receive an email with information on the offer, but expect that it will come soon. I can't believe it, I'm on cloud nine! Stats - Completed PhD 2 years ago (in my thirties) wGPA was 3.7 3 publications, 5 abstracts and presentations, 4 platform presentations guest lectures part-time faculty at college level fulltime job in commercialization of academic based technology MCAT from the late 90's lots of ECs at a management/coordinator level good-luck to everyone still waiting...I guess I will have to rethink my login name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
med hopeful Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 I dunno guys- this would mean there was at least 120-140 with 4 or 3.75 interview scores seems really high! I think with ottawa's high gpas this year- a lot of ppl will reject for u of t thus we will see tons of movement in the 3.6s and 3.5s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Hammer Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 Hey Med Hopeful, I hope you're right! Even though I'm on the "good" waitlist, seeing all these people getting accepted today gives me the impression that I'm near the bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
