Guest AC Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 ...your status is up on Minerva. Waitlist for me. Disappointing, but not unexpected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nahatma Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 same here... waitlisted... wonder if the admin office will tell us if we're in the top half or bottom half... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AC Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 Yeah, they will tell you your exact spot. There are 29 people on the waitlist. They accepted 5 so far. Did you interview on the Monday or Friday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nahatma Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 AC - I interviewed on Monday, you? Really, they told you your spot? Maybe I should give them a call. I'm a bit nervous about it. nahatma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AC Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 I interviewed on Friday. Yeah, I thought they would just tell me if I was top half or bottom half. But yeah, they tell you your exact spot. At least I was rejected outright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nahatma Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 OK, I bit the bullet and called admissions. And she told me my exact waitlist number, you're right. Well, it was a bit better news than I expected. I guess I'll have to wait around now and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AC Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 Good for you. If you're still hanging around the board, maybe we can chat about our experience in the chat room instead of doing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AC Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 Anyone know how far up the waitlist Mcgill goes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tim23 Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 same here, I called and I'm right around the middle. I talked to some people from first year they said last year the wait list moved a lot, but they didn't find out until July and August, but the year before that it just got past the first two or so spots -- so who knows. what did you guys think of the whole experience? Before I went Mcgill was by far my number 1 choice, but I had mixed feelings about the weekend... Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest roboboy69 Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 Do you guys know how many OOP applicants are interviewed? Thanks, RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest medicator007 Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 Hey folks, Wow the results are already online! That is damn quick... guess Minverva really does make a difference. I can't speak for the past two years, but I know that in my class most if not all the OOP spots were taken from the waitlist and i hear it can move quite a bit. I have no objective data on this, but I wouldn't lose hope. If anyone has any questions about things at McGill, feel free to pose them here and I'll see what i can do about answering them. Cheers, Medicator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mintie Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 waitlisted! at least not rejected! just wondering, where'z everyone's spots on the waitlist? too bad i checked so late, I really wanna call them now to check where I am on the waitlist ...but yes.. still happy i wasn't rejected!

Guest yntrrr Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 Waitlisted too!... Wow, who has gotten accepted at all? hahaha. I'll have to call monday to see what place im on the waitlist.... Im scared!!!!! I want this to move, but they're the only school to get back to you early, so I doubt it will move since the people that got accepted will turn it down before hearing from the other schools in June... BAHH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest noncestvrai Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 tim23 Can you elaborate on those "mixed feelings"? noncestvrai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tim23 Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 "could you elaborate on those mixed feelings?" ...I wish i could. Its not that anything in particular was bad about McGill. Its a good school and I'd still go there if it was my only option. Maybe my expectations were just too high. Its one of those experiences where I just go with my gut, and I wasn't feeling it. One thing I should mention though, 5-7 OOP and a few Americans in a class of 200. Also 70 of those 200 are MED-P students. Thats a tough social scene for someone with no prior connection to Montreal. But definitely don't base anything on my opinion, its something you have to judge for yourself. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jeska16 Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Hmm, I just called and they wouldn't tell me exactly where I am, just which half of the list I'm on... Oh well that's okay, maybe it's better not to know exactly...save myself some stress. Good luck to all the rest of you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Shaunabelle Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 This message is mainly for tim23 and i dont know if you will see this or not as this chain has been dead for a while - but there will be more than just the 5-7 OOP students at McGill that are new to Montreal/McGill. A lot of the people that were interviewed and accepted as In-province students have not lived in Quebec for many years (ie they were just born there) and so they will have just as many adjustments to make as the traditional OOP people. It will be a great learning experience and you will not be alone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cgymcgill Posted May 4, 2005 Report Share Posted May 4, 2005 Howdy all, Just wondering if any of you OOPs who got wait-listed could give some details on your profile and app stats (program, gpa, mcat, province)... I'm wondering what my chances are for application to McGill Med next year. I'm a McGill grad student who completed an undergrad in Alberta...
