sfu.project Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 Got in too! Got the e-mail Monday but I've spent the week trying to decide between UBC (where I already accepted and paid my 1000$ deposit) and U of C...Calgary was my first choice throughout the application cycle but I think I just got a little stressed at the thought of moving in a month and a half...now I am excited! See you guys July 27th:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope so! having waited on the UBC waitlist last year right up until the first day of classes I know I would have been ecstatic to be getting an offer at this point, so I'm glad to be able to pay it forward a bit ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
River Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 I have been so delighted to read LL's and hopeful's amazing stories! While I haven't received any email telling me I am not likely to get off the waitlist, everyday I am finding it harder to hope... it feels like an impossible dream... I just finished my phD and there is nothing else I want to do besides medicine. I too am married and older and don't feel like time is on my side as I've been in university for 10 years already. Someone send me a ray of hope haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone send me a ray of hope haha. River- I am also in nearly the identical situation! And for a variety of personal reasons, I dont think reapplying is something I can really do at this point. So it is U of C, now or never, for me. I hope we both have a bit of good luck!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostLamb Posted June 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 I am here, cheering all three of you on, virtual pompoms and all! No email that you're near the bottom of the list means that there is still hope. Also, from the sounds of things, this year's class has several 'oldies'...I'd love to add a few more! I still think I'm the oldest, though (chronologically only!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdgwilliams Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 Just out of curiosity, does anybody know how many got the "no reasonable expectation" email? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citizensoftomorrow Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 Just thought I should let hopeful waitlisters here know: I just got off the waitlist at my preferred school (UofA) and will be declining the spot I reserved at the U of C. I hope it will go to one of you! Good Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazon Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 Does anyone know whether there is a hard-cutoff for when people must apply to the LIM program (or a specific date when they find out whether they are accepted)? I'm assuming that would bring about a bit of movement in the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oly Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 Dr. Walker just updated his blog. http://mdadmissions.ucalgaryblogs.ca/ There are about 10 spots left (or up to a predicted max of 15). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopeful_Waitlister Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 This is straight from the LIM program: Leaders in Medicine/MD program. Students wishing to apply to the Leaders in Medicine (joint degree) program must complete the following process: • You must first have an offer of admission into the MD program from the Faculty of Medicine Office of Admissions. • Once accepted into the MD program, you must contact the Graduate Program Administrator at 403-210-9572 or mdgrad@ucalgary.ca to obtain the forms to apply to the Leaders in Medicine program. • If you intend to defer matriculation into the MD program as part of your participation in the LiM program, the Faculty of Medicine Office of Admissions (i.e. the MD program) must be notified of your intent within 2 weeks of the offer of acceptance into the MD program or by July 15th, which ever comes first. If we are not notified of this intent (in writing) within these time frames, we may not be able to offer deferred matriculation. • The paperwork from the LiM program must be filled out and given to the Office of Admissions within 2 weeks of the offer of admission. • Once formally accepted into the LiM program, the Office of Admissions must be notified in writing. And to those still on the waitlist, I really am hoping that you get in. If I can convince my wife that finishing off my masters this next year is worthwhile, I will be deferring and passing my spot off to one of you. Good luck to everyone and it looks like there will be pretty steady movement for weeks to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazon Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 This is straight from the LIM program: Thanks for that—I was digging all over the site but couldn't find it. Congrats again on proving that those on the Waiting List CAN get in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plumplum13 Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 Just wanna say congrats to everyone who's been offered. I've been religiuosly following Dr. Walker's blog, and just realized that there's this thread. Thanks LL for forming this thread for waitlisters, it's nice to know there are many others in the same boat. I haven't got the second email yet, so I'm still anxiously waiting. Thanks for everyone's updates! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LETSDOTHIS! Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 I spent some time deciding if I was going to stay at UofC and have decided to rescind my offer there in favor of another school. Another spot was opened as of last night. Best of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
River Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 Wow - thanks to everyone for their amazing support. I am glad to know I am in good company and I hope you all have success.

Erk Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 Wow, can't really believe it yet.

Therefore to everyone still on the list- there is still hope!! Way to go Papaya! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Gosling Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 I was accepted off the waitlist yesterday (IP 3rd year). Part of me thought I would get the sudden urge to move away to Calgary if accepted there, but alas, I think I'll be staying in Edmonton. Hope I don't regret this!

flyingduckie Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 Hi everyone, I was accepted into U of Ottawa and will be declining my Calgary offer as soon as my paperwork and deposit at Ottawa are confirmed.
