Check back in on Monday at 5:30ish PM folks for the next episode of a "Few Lucky People & Everybody Else."

 

Monday's Guests: TBA

 

It's like Jersey Shore... you don't know why the hell you keep coming back but it's so damn addictive, you just do.

 

times are sad.

7 actually, we're 1.5 hours ahead.

 

I've already taken myself off the McMaster waiting list and I still check here to see who's getting off the list. Good luck everyone!

 

Ya, but do they adjust programming 1.5 h ahead for Newfoundland? I assumed they just play it at the same time as the Atlantic feed and it airs a half hour ahead. Although that doesn't work for live programming, I suppose. I guess it doesn't make sense either way.

Everything airs simultaneously as Ontario, it's just 1.5 hours later there. So if you want to watch prime time tv, you have to stay up pretty late.

Waitlist movement prior to the deadline very rarely happens at McMaster as supported by Wendy.

 

The issue is I'm not sure if the waitlist movement was initiated by the vast number of declines or the fact that Queens, for the first time ever (to my knowledge), started moving their waitlist prior to the deadline and McMaster didn't want to lose applicants waitlisted at both schools.

 

Here's to hoping for a great Monday and an amazing 2 weeks for EVERYBODY!!!

I doubt it's the "inter-med school" competition reason. Remember that OOP schools sent out their acceptances earlier this year than previously (i.e. a few days after in province acceptances went out). That'll make things move quicker than usual.

Didn't they used to go out on the same day?

 

How did it happen in years past?

Facebook groups from the past 2 years stand at 200+ people. This year's is 75 people away from that mark.

 

In old waitlist threads, people began to have hope based on there being 50+ spots not accounted for on the facebook group, yet the waitlist movement did not continue. In fact, the class size was full and there were still quite a few spots left on the facebook group. The facebook groups of past years may now be full but they weren't at the time of the waitlist movement being halted.
