ralph Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 Does anyone have some stats from previous years? How many people usually get off the waitlist for the Med-P program? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mchn2007 Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 last year was a crazy year and 56 people got in from the waiting list but the numbers are usually around 35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralph Posted May 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 Would you happen to know how many people are waitlisted on average. I'm totally clueless since McGill doesn't give you your rank on the list nor the number of people on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mchn2007 Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 In previous years, they used to waitlist everyone who didn't get an offer after interview but this year I know people who were interviewed and have been refused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So do I. So I'm lucky, perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staphed Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 hello, according to the admissions office, 56 people did not get off the waiting list last year and those figures were incorrect. However, I have heard the waiting list does move. stay positive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I have heard the waiting list does move. stay positive that's wierd according to the Admission Requirements of Canadian Faculties of Medicine, 56 people declined their offer so i'm assuming the waiting list moved that much you should expect the waitlist to start moving at the end of next week since UdM gives out their results on Monday. Wish you all the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
right Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 Here's the link mchn2007 was referring to: http://www.afmc.ca/docs/2007_admissions_book.pdf I don't know how this year will fare in terms of offers being declined, but we should all keep our fingers crossed. By the way, does anyone know when the other universities will release their offers. McGill was the 16th, UdM will be 21st (via mchn2007), how about Laval and Sherbrooke? Thanks!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralph Posted May 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 University of Montreal mentions May 21st as their release date via their website, but I got my acceptance letter today in the mail. Really happy right now, although I was shooting for McGill. We'll see what happens with the waitlist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mchn2007 Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 yupp some people got their offers from UdM today so the McGill waitlist should be moving sooner! Best of Luck!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nima123 Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 according to the admissions office, 56 people did not get off the waiting list last year and those figures were incorrect. Why would they report false numbers to AFMC, then? I'm not a Med-P applicant, but did you called the admissions office and specifically asked about the waitlist?

Staphed Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 Yep, I called a long time ago and they told me they didn't know where I got that number from, but they did not take 56 ppl off the list (they took less). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the secretary told you that, don't rely on it at all. If Michel Dansereau, or another senior admissions officer told you that, then it's probably right. 56 looks like a big number, but it is not entirely unrealistic. There are 4 schools in Quebec offering the Med-P in a very selective manner exclusively from Quebec CEGEPs that are mostly francophone. It is not unlikely that most people that are qualified enought to get into McGill will be good enough for the other three, and that many of them would choose the Francophone schools. What I don't understand is why McGill would give false numbers to AFMC. AFMC doesn't look like a place that makes up random numbers on it own.
