North12 Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 Hello everyone, I thought it might be nice to have an OOP waitlist thread for mutual support and so that people can share any information they find out ex. a friend who gets into Harvard and declines her spot etc. Has anyone called to set up a phone interview with Dr. Sutton yet? Can we do this this early? I was planning on holding off for a bit until the dust settles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eclipse Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Was anyone that was accepted/waitlisted at Dal also accepted to McGill last night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North12 Posted March 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 I think I read that one girl on the Dal waitlist was accepted... so maybe she will withdraw from the WL?! I have no idea if she if OOP for NS though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elshnig Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Hey all, From Tracy Teed herself, in response to my query about feedback: "Sorry but we do not provide feedback to anyone on the waitlist as you are on the wait list and basically your application is deemed to be fine but we just do not have enough positions to provide one to everyone. Also Non Maritime applicants are not eligible to received feedback as their applications are solely based on the competitiveness of the applicant pool." loong, slooww, open-palm shrug...

Eclipse Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 When they say "feedback" do they mean your waitlist position or your overall scores? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elshnig Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 When I checked in, I asked about feedback regarding my file and interview scores, and that's how she replied. I'd encourage you to email her for clarification if you are interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North12 Posted March 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 I would like to know this too. Maybe I will call later this week. I was really hoping to find out my scores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orangebubbles Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 Based on last year, Dal initially told us that file reviews were only available to IP students. However, at some point in May I believe, someone on the boards contacted Dal and they were allowed to schedule a phone call with Dr. Sutton. Afterwards, many of us were given the opportunity to have this call with Dr Sutton, in which we were given breakdowns of our scores and the cut-off limit for acceptance. You're all fantastic applicants, trust me We had complied a list of scores for approximately 7-8 of us on the OOP waitlist, all of which were higher than the IP cut-off. Dr.Sutton will likely suggest that you move to the Maritimes to get IP status...haha. Good luck with the waiting period!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eclipse Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 So I called the admissions office today and they said they are dealing with releasing the scores for people that were rejected first. Once this is done, they will be able to release the scores to those of us that are waitlisted. I also asked if any OOP applicants were rejected. She said there were OOP applicants that were rejected because their scores were below the set cutoff. She did say more people were waitlisted on the OOP waitlist since the waitlist moves so much in comparison to the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eclipse Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 You have the right approach North12... I'm just getting my hopes up each time I call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treejuice1 Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 I just looked at an old thread from 2010 and people were receiving physical letters in the mail that had their rank on the wait list around this time. Anyone know if they're still going to be doing that this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
collegedude22 Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Hey treejuice1, They used to give out waitlist positions but stopped doing so last year. It says on the admissions website that waitlist positions will not be provided to applicants. I wish they did, though - I'm on the NS waitlist and trying to make plans for next year.
