preppy038 Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 ^seconded. I am not betting on today though its past four already unless Pam decides to stay overtime But I really hope that isn't the end to the waitlist movement :s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmorelan Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 rmorelean - do you know if the wait list is done moving?Or is there still some calls left to be made (either today or tomorrow)? Not sure I am afraid - but office does close at 4:30 though so that is a hard deadline. Of course they probably are winding down etc but again that is just a guess.

ws11 Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 Also, consider that some people may be on multiple waitlists, and may not choose UWO. So even if they did send all the offers out, which I doubt they did, there would still be a glimmer of hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

punknsmasher Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 I can't help but feel that us regular wait listers that are still waiting have been dealt a gigantic blow to our chances today ... Not to sound like a negative nancy, but I'm not very optimistic, at least for myself... But what's more important is that we should congratulate those who have been accepted today. I hope you all enjoy the rest of your summer without a worry in your mind! You all deserve a little rest and relaxation. Congrats to all once again.

Bertimus Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 Hey guys! First off, congratulations to everyone recieving offers today! It brought a smile to my face (and in the case of Jedi, a bit of a mischievous grin) to see your posts. And for people still on the waitlist. DONT LOSE HOPE! I'm not gonna lie, at first I felt a bit discouraged today too seeing that spaces seemed to be filling up, but I think it's wayyyy too early to lose hope. I'm occasionally a bit of a pessimistic person but right now I feel like giving my two cents on this matter, and hopefully putting a little bit of hope in the waitlist family. First, the waitlist has been running for 3 business days only. I think what happened is that theyre sending out all the offers for spaces which are FOR SURE empty. That doesn't necessarily mean that whoever recieves an offer is going to accept it, which means that when the deadline to accept or decline comes by, more spaces will be open in both london and windsor. In addition, even though the initial accept/decline deadline has passed, it's possible that there may be people who applied internationally, and who may get an offer from a school in another country that they may have preferred to go to. That last one is probably unlikely, but sometimes people do withdraw from a school after enrolling. I also don't know (so please correct me if i'm wrong), if this set of offers includes people who were originally accepted to windsor on may 5th, and then offered a transfer to london. If this is the case, then there are even more spots in london (and Schulich as a whole) which are still up in the air, as some people might decide to stay in windsor. Finally, again, 3 business days is a very short amount of time. Last year the high priority waitlist was exhausted in a week, and then the offers ran for about a month (I think?), so again, its still too early to lose hope. Waitlists are in place for a reason, and sometimes can continue running for months! I interviewed at a school in the states back in March, and I heard a story about someone who was accepted off of the waitlist right at the beginning of the school's orientation week. That's just whats been keeping me optimistic through this process, we're still very early into waitlist movement (timewise), and no one knows what tomorrow will bring! Even if history (as in last years waitlist movement) is a good indicator, a wonderful person once told me that even if statistics and history indicate that something is unlikely to workout, you've got to have faith that it will. We should keep our chins up until we have official word that the class is full. This waitlist thread has been a great support for keeping us calm, and even if were stuck here for longer than expected, I think its essential for everyone to stick together and not feel discouraged as of yet. Good luck to everyone! Let's hope for some more good news tomorrow and in the coming weeks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrambledsonnet Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 Congratulations to everyone who got off the wait list today I know its been a long journey so this is a well deserved reward. For the rest of us who are still waiting. I am going to take the side of Bertimus. From the time that Jedi got a call, it seems like they were giving out offers through the afternoon too. So maybe there will be more good news tomorrow. There is no point in despairing yet. Hugs to every one that's been spending their day hitting refresh on this forum like me. It's been hard but let's hold on to hope and stay positive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inception.

I'm dying here. *rocking back and forth in the corner drying his tears* ps. congrats everyone! lol Try not to worry so much. This year a lot more wait-list movement was done early but some people are choosing between acceptances at a couple of different schools off of the wait-list. With one weeks grace given to respond, I would not be surprised if some more movement happens next week for sure. Statistically some people are going to reject Western, even if from the high wait-list so be patient and I really hope things work out for you in the days that follow.

I kept my humour and smile going throughout the whole thing. Tried to make them feel at ease about their application process and explain to them the various concepts...

But remember that we all have so much to be proud of in our lives and we've all accomplished a lot, regardless of whether or not we get accepted to med school this year.

Nobodycirclesthewagons Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 To those who are still waiting, keep hoping. Not everyone who was offered an acceptance the past few days will accept. Also, there may be people who have already accepted offers who forego going to Schulich for whatever reason (e.g. OOP acceptance, out of country acceptance). Spots can and probably will still open up. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Western (so much!) and Windsor is a great campus, but I think Queen's is a better fit for me. At least one more of you will get a call tomorrow!
