HBP Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 OOP waitlist Thanks. Accepted to McGill I presume? edit: nvm, stalked you, MD/PhD! Congrats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoast89 Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 Hi, I was wondering if anyone managed to find out the average (or even lowest) score of an accepted applicant. I forgot to ask that during my phone interview (d'oh!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kubel Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 I'm not 100% sure on this, but I heard from someone who had a phone interview that the cutoff for NS Students was 75ish. Not sure about NB or OOP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Addy K Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Thanks. Accepted to McGill I presume? edit: nvm, stalked you, MD/PhD! Congrats. So as of now we have 3 spots moved on the OOP wait list, as far as we know. Hopefully this is a good sign of things to come in May Though, I don't know why you care HBP - you had like 14 interviews or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocT7 Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 so we can safely assume that Dal probably filled the two spots and the people that got them don't post them... boooo We don't know this, don't assume It could be that Dal is just waiting to start filling the seats... we don't know that they've even started this. Be positive, people! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be positive, people! Just lurking the dal thread here because it's pretty exciting to see potential acceptance posts when you have to wait another month for the other schools... but couldn't somebody call Dal and ask them if they have had any movement on the OOP waitlist?

Good idea hking! I nominate you to represent us, even though you're not a current Dalhousie applicant (as I understand it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hking03 Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Good idea hking! I nominate you to represent us, even though you're not a current Dalhousie applicant (as I understand it) I actually thought about calling them... but that would require me getting the correct phone number from the internetz... Tell you what, you post the number on the forum and I'll do my best to call them and ask if they have any word on it. I have a feeling they won't tell me anything, but I'll at least ask and see what they say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hking03 Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 (902) 494-1874 No Answer... I'll call back in a little bit. The suspense is killing me... I can only imagine how it feels for you guys. Well, I actually know what it's like because for all intents and purposes those waiting for responses are "waitlisted" as well. It's not fun. EDIT: 1230pm- Just tried again... straight to voicemail. I'll try again in 30 minutes or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HBP Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Thank hking.... but 12:30 for you is 4:30 PM for them. They were probably closed already. I was making the same mistake after switching to MST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scissortail Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Have you guys thought about the possibility that they over-accepted back in March? e.g. accepted more than 9 OOP? That would be a smart move for them since it's rare for all 9 OOP to accept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a smart move for them since it's rare for all 9 OOP to accept. I think 9 is too small a number to play that game with. With a big class like U of T, and 150-some students (I have no idea what their class size is, I just know it's big), it makes sense, but I doubt Dal would do it for their non-maritime pool.

If you were going to wait list everyone not initially accepted with no disclosure of position on the list anyway, what would be the benefit of over-accepting? Less phone calls maybe.. Anything seems possible with Dal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I've already said this before, but hopefully some of you still get good news from Dal. *fingers crossed* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try again in 30 minutes or so. Well, I spoke to admissions just now... The woman said that an update could happen at anytime. But, after a little probing she did tell me that April 1st was the deadline to accept or refuse the offer and that next week they will have the information on who paid deposits (they have to get this from student accounts) and from that information they would then contact via email those on the waitlist should a spot come up. So, it looks like next week is when you might hear some good news. Ah bureaucracy... slow and steady wins the race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
