DDSDMD Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Dear pre-dents/dental students, Does anybody have any ideas on how many spots, on average, usually move on the UWO waitlist? Thanks and good luck everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDSDMD Posted March 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 also... my best two years average is exactly 91.2%... however, in one of the years I only took 4.5 courses... how significant will the penalty be for not having a full courseload? 91.2% --> 88%?

Dentdoc Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 also... my best two years average is exactly 91.2%... however, in one of the years I only took 4.5 courses... how significant will the penalty be for not having a full courseload? 91.2% --> 88%? That's really shocking that you didn't get an interview, even with 4.5 courses. I guess we can infer that the penalty is huge-- perhaps 5-6% as most people who got waitlisted had averages of 84-85%. Are you a third year student/ do you think they may have used another year in the application process? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you a third year student/ do you think they may have used another year in the application process? I think he's referring to waitlist to acceptance. As to OP, don't sweat too much. They said it's a SLIGHT penalty. What's your idea of slight? Certainly not 3% lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDSDMD Posted March 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 lol no worries.. I did receive an interview.. however I saw another person on this forum in a similar situation with an 87ish average but he/she was waitlisted for an interview.. so I'm guessing the penalty is at least 2%?

Drillah Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 if anyone has ever gotten an interview through wait list, please speak up and give us hope . I'm gonna take the waitlist as a form of rejection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentss Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 yes, i have been offered an interview off the waitlist in a previous cycle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisD Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 At the very least, I gave up my spot for the interview and sent scores in from another school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earth.razer Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 At the very least, I gave up my spot for the interview and sent scores in from another school. I don't think that counts as giving up a spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aravis Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 I don't think that counts as giving up a spot. it opens up another interview spot so someone should be getting off the waitlist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentss Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 so has anyone on the forum received an invite off the interview waitlist yet??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earth.razer Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 it opens up another interview spot so someone should be getting off the waitlist I thought the ratio of interviews to acceptances would be set previously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aravis Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 I thought the ratio of interviews to acceptances would be set previously. yes it is. but when someone sends their scores in, uwo can interview another person. they will already have the interview teams set with all their timeslots so mind as well fill them up with POTENTIAL DENTISTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UWOGrad11 Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Has anyone who is on the waitlst right now heard back again from Trish? I'm wondering if they are going to tell us all at once whether or not we are going to get an interview, or if they are giving them out until the 30th.

welldispersed Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Haven't heard anything back yet. Fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentss Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 I emailed Trish about 2 weeks ago and she said that they would be handing out interview offers as the spots became available so beats me as to why no one has heard back yet. I've a feeling all will go out on 30th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cleanup Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Good luck!, did you find out by email? Yep. It was this past Thursday, around 5 o'clock. I imagine they send them out at the end of the day if that day they got a cancellation or somebody sent in their scores. Has anyone else received an interview off the waitlist? I did notice 1 or 2 other timeslots disappear on the interview time reservation page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
