mrozed Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 I've declined my offer to U of C today (I'm OOP), so there should be another waitlist position opening soon! Good Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chantalle47 Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 I just declined my IP acceptance at U of C, so there's another spot! Best of luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erk Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 I'm actually a bit confused why UCan doesn't just automatically send out an acceptance to the next person in the wait list whenever someone declines a position. Maybe to give a grace period if someone clicks decline by accident? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostLamb Posted May 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 I'm actually a bit confused why UCan doesn't just automatically send out an acceptance to the next person in the wait list whenever someone declines a position. Maybe to give a grace period if someone clicks decline by accident? I don't think UCAN is set up to do it this year. Remember, this is only its second year in existence. It did not have the offer functionality last year, IIRC. Re: WL: thanks chantelle for your post. That puts us at approximately 13-14 known IP offers out on the table. Couple that with a number of people taking themselves off the waiting list and it means that things should begin moving shortly. Dr Walker mentioned that he will post in the blog when WL offers will be made, and he was just being cautiously optimistic that it might be today, but more likely next week. I am banking on after the long weekend. boohoo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LostLamb Posted May 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 According to Dr. Walker's blog, there may be waitlist movement starting tomorrow: http://mdadmissions.ucalgaryblogs.ca/ "We will likely not be able to start moving the waitlist before tomorrow. It seems that a significant number of people are “sitting” on their offers until the last minute. I suspect many of those are already committed to going elsewhere, but I can’t really offer their spots until they are free for the taking. Stay tuned."

Hopeful_Waitlister Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 I'm just wondering if they sent out a group of offers this afternoon or if they are trickling out one by one? I haven't received an offer and trying to figure out if there is still hope. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't received an offer and trying to figure out if there is still hope. Thanks. Dr Walker mentioned in today's blog comments that 30 offers went out today. He also mentioned that they are waiting to hear on people who may or may not receive deferral for the LIM program, so those spots have not yet been offered but might still be up for grabs.
