premed Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Hey, has anyone heard anything about the movement of the waitist??? It appears to be moving VERY slowly this year.... usually they accept between 10-22 ppl off of the waitlist, but so far, i've only heard of 1 person.... any thoughts??

moose Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 um...yeah it seems to be the same situation for the OOP waitlist and the waitlist at other schools. The only possible reasons I can think of are: 1) more grads this year and more students wanting to become doctors so therefore many in the country only had a few interviews and accepted what they got 2) ontario had the double cohorts graduate this year. A lot of these grads have really high stats and applied everywhere, this explains why the OOP waitlist didn't move, but for in province, I guess the IP's who normally reject manitoba got accepted to an OOP school they would rather go to but this year not that many did get accepted and therefore are going to UMan? I dunno, these are theories completely made up by me. Let me know if anything above makes any sense at all. moose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 I don't think they've had the deferral meeting yet. So they probably won't do anything until that's all confirmed. When I spoke to Beth I was told that the ball wouldn't be rolling until the end of the month, so we've got 10 days to go. I didn't realize the double cohort was graduating this year... bullocks!

Fishy81 Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 I'm not sure how many ppl were accepted off the waitlist for Manitoba, but I do know that only 3 ppl have been accepted off the waitlist for Dalhousie. This is quite a contrast to the usual 9-11. It seems as though the competition was extra tough this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 So why is it that the IP waitlist hasn't been moving like the OOP one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keith_015 Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 Thought I would revive this thread for curiosity. Does anybody have an idea as to how many IP waitlister's have been fortunate to get 'the call' to date? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuantum Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 not too sure...but i know of at least 6 people who were offered IP spots but have opted to go OOP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
