Paule Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 Okay, back to being paranoid... I was looking back at this thread and here's what I found in regard to the time we got out waitlist email on the 18th: Supa76: 9:17am (still on list) Friend: 9:15 (still on list) Neurodude 9:16 (OFF THE LIST!) Biochemnerd: 9:29 (still on list) Doctor L: 9:31 (still on list) Masaki: 9:50 (still on list) Paule: 10:11 (still on list) Tommy 1978: 10:31 (still on list) Wanttobedoc: 10:34 (OFF THE LIST!) Jumper 12:43 (OFF THE LIST!) I guess it is random... or at least I don't see a pattern. I must be going crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paule Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 Guess we are not going to find out from neurodude and jumper what time they got that email.... it's amazing how obsessive this whole process has made me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumper Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 Hi guys. Sorry to not have posted this earlier. Here are the times when I received the respective emails. May 18th at 12:43pm I found out I was waitlisted June 6th at 1:34pm I found out I was taken off the waitlist and given an offer to VFMP. Also my last name begins with a K (for all the theories out there) Hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc12345 Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 just to let u guys know: waitlisted at 10:38 last name S.. slowly losing my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanttobedoc Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 my last name is "S" too and I was w/l at 10:34...so, I'm not sure if any of the theories work then? it is probably just random? don't you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horlicks Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 i think it's random....assuming there were more than one person working on releasing the results....w/l wouldn't have been given out in any particular order ________ FORD NUCLEON SPECIFICATIONS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neurodude Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 Sorry I didn't post this early, been frantically trying to finish up my thesis by monday.... I got the email stating that I was put on the waitlist at 9:16am and my last name starts with a "B". hope that helps a little bit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc12345 Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 maybe its random, first round offers go out, then the remaining list, instead of them taking effort to rank order is just a pool of say 50 applicants; as spots come available they randomly draw names. Thats probably why they dont give out your position on the wait list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masaki Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 lol that would be terrible! i doubt it =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ev604 Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 haha...if that were the case, I think us ppl who are still clinging onto the waitlist should storm the adcom office and wreak some havoc... wouldn't it be funny if a monkey actually got the important task of drawing names out of a hat I think we need a boost of morale...it's not over! it just occurred to me that the people who initially accepted their offers may just be holding onto the seat while at the same time waiting for an acceptance at another school! (grim...I know, but there's always that possibility!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EtOH Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 Actually people do that- I know a friend who has accepted an OOP spot but is anxiously waiting on UofT, and would gladly forfeit the $300 deposit at UBC to stay in Ontario. I must say that doc12345's theory made me laugh just now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biochemnerd Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 so when would be the date that we waitlisters wouldn't have a chance to get in anymore? I mean when is the last day people can drop off by paying just 300? ________ Prilosec Settlements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumper Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 Hi to all the waitlisters, I'm not going to be going this year- so my spot is open. All the best to whoever gets it! To the rest of the waitlisters don't give up, you never know what can happen over the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

horlicks Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 Although by now, I've started browsing the "Applying to American Schools" thread on these forums.. ouch...they're not any easier ya know, but i guess it does increase the chances by increasing the "n" and application fee hehe..some of my friends have recommended osteopathic school or dental schools as an easier alternative good luck ________ Triumph scrambler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
