skye Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Since western is not sending e-mails but instead mailing out letters (correct me if I'm wrong), does that mean we will get our mail on Friday or that some of us will have to wait until next week depending on our current address?

homm_town11 Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 you are wrong. wake up expecting an email. and good luck to you!! It's been a long ride, I hope Friday brings you good news! actually dante you are wrong, the western email THIS year says specifically no results will be delivered over the phone OR by email. I'm guessing they will be sent Xpresspost on the friday, but possibly wont arrive until tuesday (monday is a holiday). good luck to all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, on May 16 (due to a computer glitch), I received an e-mail that said their was an offer in the mail. So, while the offer technically came by mail, I did get e-mail notification of my acceptance. Best wishes to all waiting! Elaine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~me~ Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Another quick question -- Until which date do you still have a reasonable chance/'hope' of coming off the waitlist? I mean, I am aware that sometimes last minute changes necessitate an offer being made late in August as well, but those are really rare cases. Thank you ... 2 more days ...

mrgreek Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 dante is right... last year and this year the emails have been identical in the terms of "you will not get an email"... last year was email... and u can assume this year will be aswell...

I mean, I am aware that sometimes last minute changes necessitate an offer being made late in August as well, but those are really rare cases. Thank you ... 2 more days ... If I remember correctly... there is a 'good' flow after firm and conditional acceptances are firm, roughly till the end of June, followed by a buffer, and trickling following in July and a little less in August, and the rare case end of August and early September.

Dante Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 The email has for the past 2 years (not including this year) from personal experience stated that no information will be sent by email, but come May 15th, we have all received emails informing us that we have been given an offer of admission (which will 'officially' follow in the mail) or are offered a spot on the waiting list. When I was applying, students from previous years had stated that the same thing was the case, so I would expect an email on Friday. Last year, like elaine mentioned, there was a computer glitch which resulted in a one day delay for email notifications, and the office was too busy with convocation (as it again will be this year) to address/realize there was a problem. As far as the waitlist is concerned, I know people who have been accepted in mid-late August, and have heard rumors on these boards that officially, should someone drop out within the first month, a spot will open up to someone on the waitlist. When the peak flow of waitlist offers happens though... your guess is as good as mine. my apologies to the OP; I should have written: "that's what they told you, but they've lied" ... but that's not nearly as entertaining to read... or is it...

Jack Donaghy Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 or is it... ....no. lol Okay, I have a question. On the 15th, do only 147 acceptances get sent out, or do they send out more based on a projected number of people who decline the acceptance?

On the 15th, do only 147 acceptances get sent out, or do they send out more based on a projected number of people who decline the acceptance? Only as many acceptances as there are spots in the class. As people decline (decline Western? Say it ain't so!) then new offers go out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya, they've done this since 2005. I've never quite figured out why. If memory serves, they don't actually send an "offer" email. It's technically a "we will be mailing you an offer" email. For all intents and purposes it's the same thing, but I guess from a strict, legalistic point of view they're not lying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

missy10 Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 I got an email today asking for verification of my parents income (for the schulich scholarship) to be faxed in tonight so that "accurate scholarship offers can be made at the same time as your offer of admission" ummmmm is this a sneaky way of telling me I'm in????? Did anyone else who applied for that scholarship get a similar email??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timed Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 if you get an e-mail asking about the scholarship...it means you're getting rejected like me ...just kidding?! the first reaction i had was "this is good news", but i wouldn't look too much into it...its hard to say without knowing how the system works...i.e. do they def. give the finanical aid office these forms after they have accepted or maybe waitlisted someone or is this done before (maybe because there's a low quantity of applicants and it gets done quicker?). this is all speculation..we'll just have to wait and see friday. good luck!

MillerTime Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 I think you should read into it, because it makes no sense to confirm the amounts for rejected applicants! Congrats in advance In the past Western has not outright rejected applicants on May 15th, unless it was deemed by two of the interviewers that the applicant is unfit for medicine, which I don't think happens often. I've personally never heard of it happening. I would try not to read into it at all, and would instead just wait until tomorrow. No point getting your hopes up when the scholarship people might just be getting everyone's stuff in order. No way to know. Pretty sure the schulich scholarship offers won't be mentioned in the email tomorrow anyways, just good news or waitlist news. p.s. boourns to dermatology....

Plus it's at 8:30 am, and I might have a little bit of a problem with showing up late almost every day.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
