The committee hasn't even had their meeting yet... If this is true, then that is abhorrent. I'm certain I'm not the only one who is delaying so many choices and decisions that are back-up plans. U of T let their applicants know over a month ago. I can't even believe they used to get away with waiting until June! This entire thing really does seem like a joke, and I hope it's not true. You'd think UWO would at least attempt to not look like the school everyone goes to when they get rejected from u of t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmarc Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 No jokes. Trust me, I'm in the same boat... I was holding off paying a 2K deposit until I called them. Right now, 15 minutes later, I am down 2K lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now, 15 minutes later, I am down 2K lol Just can't understand how punching numbers in excel sheet seems so difficult that admissions committee has to meet to make decision. Please school me here... Maybe they lost the scores, or maybe b/c there was disparity between interviews containing traditional elements they now have to change policy...

euphaire Posted May 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 Hey jmarc, thank you so much for asking the admissions on behalf of all of us and sharing the information. It saves a lot of unnecessary refreshing of the student page for many of us! Did the admission tell you more about what's going on? I'm just surprised that they haven't even had the meeting yet...

Lol, no problem.. I just needed to know since I was waiting on a deposit with looming due date. Figured I'd share so you guys could at least know. I'm not sure what's going on, I didn't ask them specifically what was going on but a friend of mine who's in second year UWO DDS told me that one admissions committee member has been sick recently. Don't quote me on that, I'm not 100% if that is the case but it would explain the unforeseen circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been a couple ppl on the forum who claimed that they turned down their spot but for some reasons the Wait list hasnt moved. Just wondering when the U of T deposit was actually due Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddYES Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 In light of the recent unforeseen circumstances at the admissions office I say we switch a simpler method of selecting the class. Dibbs on a spot in this Septembers class! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UBCStudent128 Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Is it true that UWO only accepts applicants with honours or equivalent degree?? b/c I can't believe that there are this many people with an Hons degree... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
determinat0r Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 I don't think it has to be an honours degree, just a full degree. Anyone correct me if I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDS_BOY Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Is it true that UWO only accepts applicants with honours or equivalent degree?? b/c I can't believe that there are this many people with an Hons degree... Highly doubt that this is the case. You only have to complete 4 years of undergraduate education. I never came across the Honours requirement.

UBCStudent128 Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Applicants to the Schulich School of Medicine and Dentistry’s Undergraduate MD program are considered on a number of levels. The first review of applicant information takes into account the candidate’s academic history and performance: completion of honours degree; GPA in 2 best years; and MCAT scores. I'm not sure if I'm misunderstanding this. So honours degree will only be an advantage to your application, not a requirement.

MCATwannabe Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Alright the wait is killing me... Has anyone called in to see when's the projected date of notification? I tried calling but no one picks up the phone... Like it's been almost a month already... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
