Alastriss Posted May 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 wild guestimate because I'm very very bored here is how I did it 147 offers sent out on may 15 for 470 interviewees. 147/470 = 31.3% last year ~ 85 swomen intervieweed and ~ 61 offers sent out So lets say that 47 offers sent out on may 15 for SWOMEN, then 10 for non-swomen. so 100/385 25-26 % Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostintime Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Hmm, are swomen THAT much of a better fit for UWO than us non-swomen people? Or is there something going on? I guess I can't change who I am--a non-swomen for life...ahaha.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No .. but its just easier for them to make a decision based on the high school you came from as opposed to evaluate your potential devotion to rural medicine.

superchargedman Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Do we have an approximate idea of when the email arrives? ________ BABIMAC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medwannabe08 Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Do we have an approximate idea of when the email arrives? Don't quote me on this, but my friend last year did not receive his notification until ~3PM on May 15th. Soooo furiously clicking refresh on the morning of May 15th might be for naught.

MillerTime Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Don't quote me on this either, but I thought I remembered checking at lunch time last year and having a waitlist email in my email at that time (12-1230ish?). And if ya check out the accepted/waitlisted thread that is stickied, the first post of someone saying they were accepted last year was 9:02 AM, so maybe you should furiously hit refresh all morning! (i know i probably will, haha) (and sorry to quote your message medwannabe08, hah) Don't quote me on this, but my friend last year did not receive his notification until ~3PM on May 15th.

medwannabe08 Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Hah. Well in that case, I guess the admissions staff must send emails out one by one manually. So you might get news at 9AM or not until 3PM. I've made the decision to do one check at lunch (12PM). I think my boss wouldn't like me being on Gmail all day!

Alastriss Posted May 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 So how do the waitlist emails start? is it a we regret to inform you kind of thing or a we are pleased to say kind of thing. its neither bad nor good news Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superking25 Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Well, last year the email was titled "Schulich Medicine Waitlist", and it started like... "Thank you for your interest in our program and the effort you have put forth in making an application to first year medicine at the Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry, The University of Western Ontario. On behalf of the Medicine Admissions Committee, I regret to inform you that you were not ranked to receive an offer at this time. It was recommended, however, that your name be placed on our Wait List. This means that any offer not accepted will be replaced by individuals from the Wait List. " It then explains how if you are still interested in being on the waitlist, to contact them by a certain date and give them phone numbers to reach you at to inform you. So, you will probably be able to tell by the email heading, although that is subject to change, so make sure you open the email before hyperreacting!

lucy98 Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Chances are you'll be able to tell before you even open the email. For me last year, the subject line read something like "Good news from Schulich School of Medicine...". Best of luck everyone! Edit: I guess I took too long as well...

Sheena815 Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 About constantly hitting refresh on your inbox.... I plan on just signing into msn messenger (for the first time in like, 3 years) because IIRC it gives you a little popup message when you receive an email. Of course, this only works if the schools are using your hotmail account to communicate with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superchargedman Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 i'm lighyears ahead of hitting refresh on my inbox. i'm already hitting refresh on this goddamn forum! dunno why; i think i just like hitting f5...mmm. ________ Mesothelioma advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
