Vallinar Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 same here... UWO is awesome... what program were you in Sheena? i was chem/biochem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheena815 Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 I was in Medical Sciences (originally tox/ path, but switched after not liking second year pathology!) I did take a bunch of biochems though, as one of my "focus" areas, so I'll bet we had some classes together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MillerTime Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 anyone else paranoid that their email stuff was still screwed up and they accidentally sent acceptances to the wrong people and that they're gonna send another one saying there was a mistake? so yeah, due to my paranoia, i'm gonna second the surreal comment congrats to those accepted and good luck to those on the waiting list, didn't move enough for me last year but i hope it moves enough for all of you this year! oh yeah, no one has posted in the accepted/waitlisted thread stickied at the top yet, no one want to be the first one or somethin?

superchargedman Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 congrats! do you know how many are waitlisted? ________ Essential vaaapp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocky222 Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 Probably everyone who wasn't accepted today so about 320 or so. I sure hope I'm not at the bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheena815 Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 Millertime, oh, I am so completley that paranoid person who feels its so surreal it must be a mistake! But I'm a really paranoid person in general... I'm one of those people who checks the times/ places of exams like, 30 times to make sure I didn't "read it wrong" the first 29! I can't wait for my snail mail to arrive so I can officially accept the offer. Then it will feel real. There are facebook groups for this kind of thing? ...Perhaps it is finally time for me to emerge from the social networking stoneage and get a facebook account.

MillerTime Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 hah, see i'm usually quite relaxed and laid back and not paranoid, but i think this occasion calls for some moderate paranoia, haha. same thing with the snail mail, it'll be sweet to have somethin in my hands and yes, you need to get facebook. I advise getting it now, so that you have 4 months to get used to it rather than getting it at the start of med school and being forced to drop out from too much stalking and not enough studying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superking25 Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 Does anyone know if ANYONE gets rejected at UWO? Christinayangwannabe said she heard that 1/3rd of the interviewees gets rejected post-interview, but I've never heard anyone on this forum say they were rejected by Western...

lostintime Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 Wow I had the same thoughts about sending the wrong e-mail...because I would BE DEVASTATED if that happened... But I sorta convinced myself that they must double-triple-4x check these things....at least I hope? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christinayangwannabe said she heard that 1/3rd of the interviewees gets rejected post-interview, but I've never heard anyone on this forum say they were rejected by Western... It's possible to be rejected from UWO post-interview, if at least two of your interviewers independently rate you as being "unsuitable for medicine". This very rarely happens, however. It certainly doesn't happen to 1/3 of applicants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugs Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 Congrats to you all! I look forward to meeting everyone at O-Week (which btw, is going to be super awesome). Have a fantastic summer! You definitely deserve it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostintime Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 Is O-week really only 3 days long? I was hoping it would be a "week" lol... And I know this is going to sound so stupid, but wrong acceptances have never been sent before historically, right? I'm still 5% hesitant on sending the e-mail telling my grad school references they don't need to write a letter anymore. I suppose I could wait until Tuesday/Wednesday afternoon until the letter is in my hands. It's just going to be so incredibly embarrassing if something really bizarre happens....I mean, I was part of the 1% of people who ended up with complications after getting my wisdom teeth removed. Too bad I never won the lottery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad I never won the lottery. Unless something has changed drastically O-week should be about 10 days long, culminating in the mayhem that is Fanshawe. Good times... Re: your other question - did you know that medical students have much higher rates of OCPD and GAD than the general population? Relax! The paper acceptance will be coming soon enough. Here's a tip for you - photocopy the form where you have to check off "yes, I accept" before you send it back to UWO. That will prevent a potential "did I check the right box?" crisis later on...

thompson Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 I am also soo paranoid that I got the wrong email! I don't think I will really believe it until I get the letter. Of course they had to send out the letters right before the long weekend, right? Congrats to everyone and for those on the waiting list there is a good chance! Also everyone join the facebook group! It doesn't show up on the search for some reason but here is the link http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=24952465589 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
