triguy Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 yes, it sucks but they are allowed, and many people do. especially those who get accepted, but then stay on the waitlist at the other. then they accept at the other, but don't decline for several weeks at the place they were originally accepted. some people may even go to lengths of going to orientation at u of c, still hoping for a u of a waitlist acceptance. I was told at a med applicant info session at the UofA that you will be dropped from both schools if you accept to both. Waitlist does not count to this. Maybe there is a grace period where you can be enrolled in two or more schools? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuz I definitely know people who have accepted at both, and aren't in any hurry to drop one of them. Sooner or later, they'll have to drop and we'll get in tho right...(hopefully) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saberial Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 so no IP movement? or there has been but ppl dont frequent these forums/care to post? This is worse than waiting for May 15 to come!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boodog Posted July 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 i think the class is full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triguy Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 For what it's worth, the Facebook group "University of Alberta Medicine Class of 2012" has 100 members. UofA quota is 145? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M87 Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 Hey everyone: I don't want to give false hope or anything, but I kind of doubt that the class is officially filled. I called yesterday and spoke to Diane and asked whether or not we would get some kind of notice whenever the class became full. She said we'd all stay on the waiting list until a week into classes because they won't know when the class will be full (ie. it's not full yet). ... basically the waiting continues.

Jamer Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 For what it's worth, the Facebook group "University of Alberta Medicine Class of 2012" has 100 members. UofA quota is 145? I know 3 people in the class who aren't a part of the group. Don't put any weight into this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thirdtimeisacharm? Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 I would think that very few seats are left judging from this answer by Diane when I emailed to see if the class was full. "We have made all our offers, however the wait list may still move until the first of September as sometimes we do get students declining during the summer."

Sunnydays Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 Hello - Just got off the waitlist - very grateful. 4th year IP. Looking forward to classes in the fall. All the best to those who are still waiting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purple Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Hey everyone, I got accepted off the waitlist at U of A on July 4 as a 4th yr IP. I will most likely be declining this offer to go to U of C. My deadline to reply was July 18, so I assume someone will get an offer near that date. Goodluck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SometingCrazy Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Does anyone know if the IP waitlist is still moving at all? I read over in the UC section that someone got an email from the UC that their class if full and the waitlist is no longer moving... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CD8 Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Has anyone heard of someoen who was stuck on the waitlist and then rejected for UofA? Yes, my boyfriend did, but he had family issues for going to UofA and was excepted OOP elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keith_015 Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 I just got accepted off OOP waitlist today, still unsure if i'll accept, we'll see. Help out a U of M waitlister: take the spot! Plus you've probably lived at home long enough. If I get your spot, I'll send you a fruit basket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
