RightHandMan Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 To All: So... this questions has been bugging me for a long time..... Does everyone who got an interview become placed on a waiting list??? Or is there a set number of spots on the waitlist? I know that finding out will not help my situation at all.... and perhaps, it may make me feel even worse/hopeless, but I am very curious and really want to know. Thanks guys.

beastort Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 I really want to know that too! Knowing that all interviewees don't automatically get waitlisted is a tiny bit more of an accomplishment somehow!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llyw Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 I know of someone who got a straight out rejection. So head up! We can DO it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RightHandMan Posted May 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 Thx for the news. I guess that makes me feel less hopeless~ but regardless, it is still out of my hands.... keeping my fingers crossed and hoping for the best right now. Good luck to all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiwi Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 I know of someone who got a straight out rejection.So head up! We can DO it! Really? Did this person receive an email specifically saying that they were not offered a spot on the waitlist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dh79 Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 These are my observations. It is a bit of a mystery how things work each year, so things may have changed. A few years ago people received acceptance, waitlist, or rejection. More recently the initial response seems to be acceptance or waitlist. I'm pretty sure last year the first offer was 100 people got accepted and 400 people got on the waitlist. Rejection letters weren't sent out until late in the summer (maybe august?). So the waitlist started at 400, then of course everybody who accepts somewhere else is removed from the list. At the end of the summer how many people are still on the list and get officially rejected? Who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RightHandMan Posted May 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 I have always had the impression that it is 100 acceptance + 100 waitlists... and i jus remembered where i got that impression from. When i went to my interview at queens, one of the 1st year med students said that they usually keep 100 ppl on waitlist... now i feel like i got tricked by him~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JessMD Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 can any current Queens students confirm this? 100 accepted and 100WL? or 100 accepted 400 WL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaysersoze Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 i'm losing hope of the waitlist....this whole ordeal is increadibly soul sucking..sigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miracleshappen Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Yeah WL is depressing... was on two WLs last year, and nothing came through for me. Just a bit discouraged because I had some really positive feedback in my interview, and the rest of my application was decent. Here's hoping that WL will move more this year!

dh79 Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 can any current Queens students confirm this? 100 accepted and 100WL? or 100 accepted 400 WL? Nobody will be able to confirm anything because nobody outside the office knows for sure. Last year I'm pretty sure the first offer was 100 accepted, 400 WL. This year could be the same or different.

lostintime Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 So just an update on my previous situation. I got the e-mail re-sent to me and I was actually waitlisted, not rejected. How strange is that?! Of all the bizarre things to happen (negative ones), I tend to catch those. Oh well, it really made me value everything so much more after that horrible day. I don't know if they reject people then....I need to think it over once I do get the mail package etc., but I'm pretty much certain I'm going to accept Western and not wait for Queens. So here's another spot. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwi Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 Well, looking through the threads from May 15, nobody mentioned anything about being rejected. Considering the number of people who frequent this forum, I'd say this is a reasonable indicator that everyone who didn't get in is automatically placed on the waiting list.

ellen Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 I am 100% sure that Queen's did not reject anyone this year. Everyone who did not receive an offer but had an interview was put on the waitlist. I guess that is not too encouraging for those of you on the waitlist - just remember that Queen's is known to go pretty deep! Also, this year fewer students were interviewed (compared to last year), around 480 I believe. Good luck to everyone still waiting to hear!!

Olu Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 hi all, i was accepted at Queens but I will be accepting an offer from another school closer to home. just one more spot on the waitlist that is freed up! yay! congrats all and good luck!

RightHandMan Posted May 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 So... I have made the call to the office, and yes, everyone who gets an interview (except for those who got accepted) are waitlisted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beastort Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 Ack! I knew it! So there are about 380 people on the waitlist, and they will probably end up offering the top 100? Essentially, there is approx a 25% chance of getting in this year. I really wish I knew where I am on that list -- has anyone tried calling this year to see if they'd have a heart and put you out of your misery?

kiwi Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 So...is there any chance the waitlist will start moving tomorrow, or do they usually need a couple days to get things together after the deadline for provisional acceptances? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
