Cee23 Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 This wait is so painful and it's not getting any easier. I've decided to give myself until the end of the week. After that, no more checking PM101 or the admissions blog for updates. Hang in there folks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nearly there Posted June 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 I was accepted off the waitlist yesterday. I have accepted the offer (and will be declining UofA now). Good luck to everyone on the list! I'm sure there is still plenty of movement to come. Can't wait to see some of you in July! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vick001 Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 Na im just pumped for my bro to get in, he got waitlisted last year as well, feelsbadman.jpg Haha, are you waitlisted here as well?

medical2011 Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 So beside those two offers that we are aware of, are there any other ones that came out yesterday? The reason I am wondering is that last year 20-30 offers were released simultaneously but this year I am not sure if that is the case. If 20-30 were released yesterday I am sure we would heard about it? I dont know, may be I am just trying to make myself feel better that more offers are to come???? Any thoughts you guys??

imperfection Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 ^ Agree. I'm getting kind of worried now because it doesn't seem like there's been a ton of offers released thus far. And no updates to the blog recently... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazyboy Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 It certainly seems slower this year compared to last year. There were quite a few activities by those accepted/declined last year in May 22 when the first batch came out; and then some more early in June, and a few after that. The last one was around July 1. This is way too quiet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medical2011 Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 I guess our luck....the year we get waitlisted things dont seem to be in our favour.... I am also on the FB for UOFC Class 2015 and I know there are a number of people that have deferred for the LIM program, so there are definitely at least 20-30 offers that should be coming but the question is, have those offers already come out or is there still some hope..... I work at foothills hospital and today i was looking up Dr. Ian Walker on the directory, I felt like just walking down to his dept and just asking him to update the blog....but then I changed my mind lol...

Good call, lol. I think he's a nice guy, but not that nice. I work at the Health Sciences center too, and every time I pass the admissions office, I just want to go in and ask if Dr. Walker is in there or not. Anyway, I think the we had a wave last week of about 20 offers. To be optimistic, I think last year they probably sent WL offers in batches, and this year, 2 or 3 offers at a time. The LIM spots are definitely not offered yet, since I think LIM apps take a little bit of time, so those will come out later this month. Hope is still there, but at this point we just don't know much. But maybe the total amount of WL movement will be the same at the end of the day. Let's not think too much until the next blog update. But like you said, it might be just our luck, the one year we are waitlisted everyone wants to go to u of c... (not necessarily a bad thing for the school, but for us...)

CruiseUC Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 Week of May 21 I cried in their office, trying to figure out if I should accept a job. Crying didn't help my cause. Though I did get a tissue and a cookie! I hope you are feeling better now. Be positive! At this point, there's not much we can do to improve our chances, since they are theoretically already set in stone (we just don't know yet), but we can always hope, and there's nobody that can stop us from doing that! My personal rule is hope for the best, but expect and prepare for the worst. I don't know your personal situation, so I can really give you any good advice on your job, but at the end of the day, everything will be alright. FYI, if you really wanted the cookie, you didn't have to cry for it, I heard the ladies at the office are really nice, and all you have to do is ask, and they will shower you with candy.

EngGirl Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 Wow! I would have thought they would tell you especially if you have a job offer....but i guess they are really strict with their policies I was hoping too! However I may have the option to differ (I took the job) if I get off the WL, depending on a combination of # of other differals and if I had started the job by the offer date.. Which would be ideal for anyone below me on the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiseUC Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 Wow! I would have thought they would tell you especially if you have a job offer....but i guess they are really strict with their policies My feeling is that the adcom thinks that feedback, such as the scores before interview, and now, our final scores and rankings on the WL are helpful after the fact, but the truth is, they are probably more useful now, when we are waiting. We are adults, we can make informed decisions, only if we know more about the situation. Right now, I am feeling more and more hopeless because I don't know anything, I might get an offer now, or never. Anyway, I am an advocate of giving people their scores and stuff. But I guess not a lot of med schools do this, only NOSM release WL rankings. There are some serious problems with giving out WL ranks, and will just be a lot more work to keep it viable if a school decides to do this...
