Paule Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 I guess your right wanttobedoc, 300 isn't that much if you get into choice number one. Let's hope, so! hehe. At this point it just feels like no matter how much info I try and gather there's no way to know what's going to happen for me... Of course, here I am on this forum all the time. I've got my fingers crossed for everyone on the waitlist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biochemnerd Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 It feels good to come to this site and see all these postings. Somehow it comforts me a bit by talking to people who are on the same boat. ________ Wellbutrin injury lawyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supa76 Posted May 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 It feels good to come to this site and see all these postings. Somehow it comforts me a bit by talking to people who are on the same boat. ya i agree... i am strangely optimistic about being waitlisted this year vs. flat-out rejected last year, and its nice to see others feeling the same. it s comforting to know we are in the top 350/1500 of all applicants... well, it should be comforting...

patch Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 I think it’s great that everyone is staying optimistic. We need that kind of positive energy in this thread . I think the suggestions above wrt the expansion are very plausible. That would make a lot of people very, very, … , very happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paule Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 Has anyone got that email yet??? I think I'll call them today and ask if they've filled all 256 spots or not... anything else I should ask them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biochemnerd Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 hey I got the email this morning. It says nothing except that we have to wait. I don't understand why it took them 2 more days to send out the email.

wanttobedoc Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 Hey paule, yes...please ask them where I am on the waitlist if you find out anything let us know... hope you are enjoying the sun today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wanttobedoc Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 Ok, I'm paranoid, theorizing again....please ignore me if I'm stressing anyone out. but, perhaps the time we got our emails is an indication of where we are on the w/l? I got mine after biochemnerd...at 10:34am. Anyone else care to share? maybe I'm wrong...but, it does not seem that it happens completely in synchrony....

wanttobedoc Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 see...this is not looking good for me...but, maybe we can get a rough estimate of where each of us stands.

Paule Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 Okay, so I called admissions, and yes all 256 spots have been filled, and no they will not say how many people are on the waitlist. According to our letter it seems like, unless our application specifies that we do not want to go to one of the sites, we are all waitlisted for all sites. wanttobedoc you are number two on the list, right after me that is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommy1978 Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 So I read the letter they sent to all of us waitlisters and, as was mentioned already, it really didn't have any actual information. Does anyone know if they outright reject anyone before Aug 27th? If we get the final rejection on Aug 27th will they still give us an application file review for next time?

DoctorL Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 Hey Tommy, I got wait listed last year as well as this year. They sent me my file review in the beginning of september, along with an official rejection letter. Unforunately it arrived after the application for this year was due...so there was no time to make improvements in areas i was weak in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanttobedoc Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 tommy, at 10:31 am you are better off than me if my theory has any merit. Is this your first time applying? From last years w/l thread on this forum, it looks like people who were lower on the w/l got their rejections sooner. A few "higher ups" were left waiting right up until the day before classes started just in case "last minute" drop outs occured or whatever.... We get our feedback after our rejections...so, it depends how much waiting we do. not sure if this makes sense. Most of us probably won't get our feedback until after August 27th. But, since application deadline is in October this year, it may give us a bit of time to change/improve things on our application if we are not accepted off the w/l. hopefully we won't have to worry about that....

horlicks Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 i wouldn't worry too much about improving the application intentionally. i've heard of cases where people submitted essentially identical application the second year and got accepted... maybe luck plays a bigger role than we expected? ________ Digital Scales Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supa76 Posted May 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 one year ubc med also went through the whole waitlist and started calling people they had initially rejected. this is why they put so many more people on the waitlist now than they really are likely to accept. anyone else still checking their status more than a few times a day? i think i am going insane.
