Smiles48 Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 confusing.. why would ottawa decide to do that this year when every other year they have started calling on may 29th? surely they must have some firm rejections by now and can start to fill those spaces.. what would be the point of waiting until june 13th?

mimi21 Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 I do not get it my self. But I guess that from Nicole Racine to Chantal Reneaud, things may be differents. It will be nice to know what changes she is going to make... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiles48 Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 all i can thank of for why they would wait till june 12th is that if they wait till then to offer spots off the waitlist, then it improves their stats because everyone left on the list will not have accepted an offer at another IP school and is very likely to accept a spot from ottawa if offered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.P.87 Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 This is very annoying to say the least. Some type of news (good or bad) at this point is better than no news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangepekoe Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 hmm...I am really confused. I just called because I am going psycho and I'm not sure who I spoke with...they put me on hold and then came back and said "all i can tell you is that we are calling on a daily basis" and I said starting now..answer was YES....I can't say for sure that she knew what she was talking about because like I said, I was put on hold while she went to ask. gaaah did nobody read this/have any thoughts on it? ...could anybody confirm if it's true??

mimi21 Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Forget about it if you can ( I know i can't), it looks like we will have to wait... I assume they have not made any offer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangepekoe Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 I can't take this anymore and I'm starting to strongly resent Ottawa even though it's my first choice!!! maybe they have started making calls but nobody posted...they told me today that they would start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiles48 Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 its hard to believe that ottawa would actually make everyone on the waitlist wait until the 13th dont the med schools in ontario have some sort of agreement that ALL SCHOOLS offer off of the waitlist during the same weeks (may 29-june 13) so that people who provisionally accept can find out about other waitlists before their acceptance at one school becomes firm?

turbo Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 its hard to believe that ottawa would actually make everyone on the waitlist wait until the 13th dont the med schools in ontario have some sort of agreement that ALL SCHOOLS offer off of the waitlist during the same weeks (may 29-june 13) so that people who provisionally accept can find out about other waitlists before their acceptance at one school becomes firm? that makes complete sense... what happens if someone provisionally accepted another school but was hoping to get in off ottawas waitlist. if ottawa waits til the 13th to accept waitlisted ppl than essentially that person gets screwed out of a spot since the provisional becomes firm after june 13. surely that can't be ottawas strategy... to leave those ppl high and dry... not to mention the other waitlisted like myself and I presume you guys and gals! somethin fishy here.......

lilac Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 call me crazy but this uncertainty is causing me to go through quite the emotional rollercoaster. i really hope the waitlist will start moving soon. I go to work thinking about waitlist movement throughout the day. check my email right before i leave work just in case. come home rushing to the answering machine and hearing "zero messages". disappointment. i really hope this doesn't become a routine till the end of the summer.

Jerry-mon Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 I just went to the faculty retreat, the 14 new spots are confirmed for 2010, not 2009. A MD/phD program with 4 spots will also open in 2010. good luck to those still waiting, you time will come, a couple of days here and there won't make a difference at this point.

orangepekoe Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 unfortunately it will if we have other schools we have to get back to/put deposits on I know at the end of the day it isn't the end of the world but STILL...it's torture right now ps. thanks for the info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FABS Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Hey guys Ill send out a private message on the meds 2013 facebook group and ask if anyone who recently joined was accepted off the waitlist. I dont know if ppl will respond but if they do, ill let u know (without mentioning names of course). This will atleast confirm if the waitlist is moving or not, hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
