punknsmasher Posted May 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 I'm confident that there won't be any waitlist movement until after the 29th, but do you think we will have to wait until the 4th of June. I say that because those who got accepted to unspecified campus were told that they would be emailed about their location on June 4th. That would lead me to assume that waitlisters wouldnt be informed until the 4th aswell. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Second Daniel Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 In case anyone is confused jedimaster was conditionally accepted but didn't quite have the required GPA in the required second year ( this is public forum knowledge). The next time around that was corrected to the collective joy of all and now we have a jedi in the class Haha, I'm guessing this is where the lightsabers came from at the interview sessions?

They might start to call after May 29th and give an unspecified campus acceptance. But if we don't hear back until later it actually wouldn't be a terrible thing, because then some people might accept other school's beforehand. Signed, a desperately hopeful applicant lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signed, a desperately hopeful applicant lol I had the exact same thought process last year! The later Western called offering spaces, the more chance of people taking themselves off by accepting other offers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it is an interesting situation for the school - offer them sooner and in theory you might be able to scoop good people from going to other schools, but then you have get your act together faster and that is hard to do. Offer them later and odds are you well already have some moved over to other schools but of course those left on the wait list are quite happy about that.

rmorelan Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Haha, I'm guessing this is where the lightsabers came from at the interview sessions? ha! Actually no - those came from me. I did give one to jedimaster though as it just seemed so wrong for a jedi not to have a lightsaber The purple once is now in the hands of the 2015 class president and the other blue one with jedimaster. One of the great things about being in medical school is you can sometimes just get silly with things that interest you. Personally I find playing with swords fun!

A Second Daniel Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 Hey guys and gals, on my wait list response email I didn't mention my OMSAS ID (I don't think it was even mentioned in the email either). I did give them my name however, and they can see my email too...will they still be able to access my file and add my contact info? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did give them my name however, and they can see my email too...will they still be able to access my file and add my contact info? Yeah, they didn't ask for my OMSAS ID either. So I didn't mention mine in my reply email. I wouldn't worry about it. If they really wanted it they would ask for it. They are usually careful about those sort of things.

upbeat Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 The wait for the regular waitlist movement or any waitlist movement is killing me. I wish they would give some indication of where you ranked on the list. Is there any stats on how much they dip into the regular waitlist. I think I read somewhere that in previous years it has been anywhere from 49 - 77 people, but I can't remember where. This is such a frustrating process because basically 75% of it is waiting and out of your hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But these numbers don't include the people who removed themselves from the waitlists. So it may be slightly higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

punknsmasher Posted May 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 Just to let you other wait listers know that I got a confirmation email from the admissions office today in regards to my contact information. In the email they also asked for my OMSAS #. I'm mentioning this because earlier we were discussing whether or not we had to include our OMSAS numbers.

For a second when I saw that it was an email from Schulich, I thought it was going to say that they had made a mistake in putting me on the waitlist and I was actually accepted. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dassy Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 Got one as well...super glad that I checked these forums before my email.
