Diceroll2011 Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 High waitlist. Not sure what If I need to confirm if I want to stay on the waitlist until the 29th? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isix Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 High waitlist. Not sure what If I need to confirm if I want to stay on the waitlist until the 29th? Last year it said in the email to advise them if you wanted to be removed off the waitlist, otherwise they'll keep you on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidslit Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 regular waitlist. Guess that means there is no chance... and I thought my interview went really well. Has anyone ever gotten in off the regular wait list?? So hard... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmorelan Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 as I posted in another thread here - those with high wait list status traditionally do get off of that wait list in the coming weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benge88 Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Waitlisted here! At least it's not the bad waitlist this time, if such a thing exists this time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m1428 Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Low waitlist... I guess this confirms my interviewers were laughing at me, not with me. Hoping for Manitoba now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmorelan Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Waitlisted here!

kidslit Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 how do you know if you are on the regular or low wait list?? I was just told I was on the wait list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m1428 Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 how do you know if you are on the regular or low wait list?? I was just told I was on the wait list. Just the wording, low waitlist has "In recent years, applicants in your position on the Wait List have not received an offer of admission.", while regular waitlist has ambiguous wording (or so I'm told).

punknsmasher Posted May 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 how do you know if you are on the regular or low wait list?? I was just told I was on the wait list. If it doesnt specify, generally it means you are on the NORMAL waitlist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Second Daniel Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 I got high wait list too. Do we still have to send in our transcripts now, or do we wait? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diceroll2011 Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 I'm not jeopardizing another acceptance by telling Western I want to be on the waitlist am I? Just want to make sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmorelan Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 I'm not jeopardizing another acceptance by telling Western I want to be on the waitlist am I? Just want to make sure absolutely not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidslit Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Maybe rmorelan can help me here.. I'm on the regular wait list which isn't as dire as the low one, but in your experience do I have any chance at all, not being on the high one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmorelan Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Maybe rmorelan can help me here.. I'm on the regular wait list which isn't as dire as the low one, but in your experience do I have any chance at all, not being on the high one? We do go through traditionally the high wait list every year and go into the regular wait list after that. So there is a chance - what the odds are unfortunately I cannot say - there are way too many variables, most of which are to do with other schools acceptances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dw88 Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 What does the high wait list "look" like? How do you know you are on it? I can't imagine they say, your odds are very good lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Second Daniel Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 So when do the wait list acceptances begin? Do we have quite a while until we hear anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmorelan Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 So when do the wait list acceptances begin? Do we have quite a while until we hear anything? a bit - people have to officially refuse acceptances. Traditionally before last year it was a min of 2 weeks but last year they started up faster than that. This year I am not sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punknsmasher Posted May 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 What does the high wait list "look" like? How do you know you are on it? I can't imagine they say, your odds are very good lol "I regret to inform you that you were not ranked to receive an offer at this time. You have, however, earned a high position on our Wait List. Any offers not accepted will be filled by individuals on the Wait List. In recent years, applicants in your position have received an offer of admission as the incoming Schulich Class of Medicine began to take shape." Thats what is said for those in the High waitlist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
