thatonekid Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 Awww it sucks that Queen's only offers waitlist spots after May 27th. Has anyone called about whether they'd offer spots before may 27th?I think Queen's is offering spots as soon as they become available this year.

waitinger Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 after reading this thread, i called the admissions office to check and she said that at queens the waitlist won't be moving until after may 27th when offer holders are required to make their decisions by, she said it would start moving in early june or so on another note, i was waitlisted at queens last year too and it was june 22nd when we got the final "all seats are filled" email Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blasto9 Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 For anyone wondering, I was told today from a friend in Queen's that the waitlist is about 250 people, and moves about 100. Hopefully movement is more this year, because of the "glitches" but then again the new building is a nice draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comeon Posted May 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 I will make a conservative assumption that 50-60 wait listed individuals were accepted somewhere else. I guess I have to keep my fingers crossed for another month. For anyone wondering, I was told today from a friend in Queen's that the waitlist is about 250 people, and moves about 100.

chessa Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 I was waitlisted at Queens, but accepted my offer from UofT. I'm not sure of my position on the Queen's waitlist, but hopefully this will help someone out! =) Good luck everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully movement is more this year, because of the "glitches" but then again the new building is a nice draw. Holy, that's a huge waitlist (which explains how so many of us are waitlisted)...so essentially, from a group of 500, they accept 100, waitlist 250 and only reject 150? Why waitlist such a large group (and give false hope)? And I keep reading about the "moving 100"...what exactly does that mean? Do 100 decline their spot on the waitlist? It certainly can't mean that 100ish people get in off the waitlist because that would be the entire class.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waitinger Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 all ontario schools are "supposed" to wait until after may 27th to accept people off the waitlist but not all schools play by the rules apparently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
med2015ish Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 I was accepted at other schools, but am waitlisted at Queens...Queens is my first choice, but if they aren't moving the waitlist until May 27, I will likely take one of my definite offers. If anyone knows anything about the waitlist moving before the 27th, Please post about it! If there is a chance to get in, some of us may decide to stay on the waitlist.

It certainly can't mean that 100ish people get in off the waitlist because that would be the entire class.... "Moving 100" would mean that the top 100 people are taken off the waitlist. However, this does not mean that they're all going to Queen's. Some of the people will take themselves off the waitlist right away as they had other offers on May 5th (or whatever the acceptance date is). Others will take themselves off if they get in from another school's waitlist. The remaining people from the top 100 are the ones that Queen's takes from people who reject their initial offers, and even then, some people may get a spot off the waitlist and then choose to decline. So while the list might move 100 spots, maybe only 30 (just an example number) actually get into Queen's from the waitlist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlbn Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 I'll be declining my spot at Queen's soon, so hopefully that'll help movement before May 27th. I really feel for everyone on the WL as I was in the same place last summer. I spent the entire month of May and June agonizing over it, making assumptions and calculating odds and what not based on forum posts. It's tough, but you'll make it through.

So while the list might move 100 spots, maybe only 30 (just an example number) actually get into Queen's from the waitlist. Actually, according to that legendary pdf file that reports how many students queens accepts every year, and how many students decline their offer (info which queens stopped providing a few yrs ago) typically 100 students declined queens. That '100' movement that is referred to means 100 people who declined, and therefore in hte 250-100 = 150 remaining waitlist spots, some of those people got accepted elsewhere. It is good news. Queens has a notoriously pathetic waitlist movement, about as many people decline queen`s meds as they accept (100 to 100 (ish)). Yay for us!!

kickserve Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 In honor of the awesome name of this thread (reminds me of a superhero team) I will be removing myself from the Queens waitlist, which hopefully will allow the rest of you waitlisters to hear back sooner.

But Queen's generally moves 100 (or more) even if less than 100 people decline their acceptance offers. I was just trying to clarify all the aspects to reported waitlist movement.
