andy Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Starting fresh on the June 1st is a great idea! I figure by tomorrow evening, Wendy should have been able to sort out all the first round acceptances/rejections, so if we haven't received anything then, it becomes less and less likely as time goes on (unfortunately, ).

Pigwidgeon Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 I've decided that I'm going to give it until the 30th. If I don't receive that magical email from Wendy by then, will assume rejection and move on =) I would like SO MUCH to be able to feel this way too and, realistically, I think that's the best thing to do since I agree that as time goes by the chances of getting an acceptance are reduced almost to zero. But there's always that little thought at the back of my head every time I focus on grad school applications or MCAT that "I might not need this...".

margiethemoo Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 so happy for all of you who have gotten acceptances!! and yet I'm so anxious and pessimistic for myself. I'm turning bipolar. lol switching from hope and anticipation to depression and resignation. just finished a session of yoga and now I'm at Popeyes getting a super greasy meal. going crazy here!!

Leon Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 I just wish it was possible to crush that tiny hope and move on with life. I'm in the lab but don't have much to do today so I'm pretty much sitting in the office with my coffee and browsing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there's always that little thought at the back of my head every time I focus on grad school applications or MCAT that "I might not need this...". Definitely. I don't think I'll ever the lose that tiny bit of hope every time I check my email until Wendy says class is full. But I've been so unhealthily obsessing since May 15th (more so than after interviews!) its been to the detriment of other stuff I should be doing. I'm also **** at self-discipline so I might end up employing some extreme measures to get myself to move on (e.g. blocking premed101 -gasp horror- ).

impatient_med Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Thought I'd join in this waiting game. This was my first time applying and I was happy at first to see I wasnt outright rejected, but now I'm so tired of waiting!!

Leon Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Someone said the acceptance deadline is at 5pm today. If that's the case, I expect maximal movement around and after 5pm today and likely throughout the day tomorrow. I need to stop making these predictions. They always come true but I'm never a lucky recipient LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I predict Leon will come off the waitlist at 5 today. Now you do the same for me with Queens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Der Kaiser Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 ^With CASPER having not come through for me twice the above scenario is tempting. I think the biggest thing would be to have someone not stressed out/anxious do it, not necessarily more ethical and situationally intelligent.

I don't remember where I go this but I'm quite sure this info is relatively official. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impatient_med Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 I hear ya, I hate how people don't really understand what we're going through. I was complaining to my bf about the uncertainty of everything, and he asks 'well, when you finding out?' I'm like I DON'T KNOW!

atesme Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Is it always five? That might give me some relief from constant refreshing for the next few hours. Do you think the majority of the first wave was yesterday, or is it still to come? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't think there's some kind of lag between when people accept/decline their offers and when OMSAS relays the information to the schools themselves?

You don't think there's some kind of lag between when people accept/decline their offers and when OMSAS relays the information to the schools themselves? Technically yes there's a 24 hour delay. But I'm sure that enough people have declined their offers already that there should be quite a bit of movement today. Either way this is all speculation but I expect heavy movement in the next 40 hours.

Tee88 Posted May 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Random: I just realized all this sounds like bowel movements LOL Hahaha "heavy movement in the next 40 hours" ... on a side note, I think they send them out in waves, if you read what LupeFiasco wrote and started last year, a whole bunch didn't come out at once (lol) but instead gradually every couple of days acceptances went out all the way to the 15th of June I believe? Pulling this from his previous thread from last year: "2010 Accepted = 29 Rejected = 2 Waitlist = 6 Accepted off waitlist = 13 (May 26; May 27; May 27 May 27; May 27; May 27; May 28; May 28; May 28; May 31; May 31; June 16; July 7) 2011 Accepted = 35 Rejected = 7 Waitlist = 13 May 26th, June 9th, and June 15th are popular dates for getting e-mails. The deadline this year is May 27." So, since our deadline was May 29.. I'm guessing May28-May 31 there is the most movement and subsequent days after that... so I suppose June 1 is a safe bet for the majority of us to start moving on with our lives!

But why do they do it in a trickle? It just doesn't make sense, if by now they know how many spots are open why wouldn't they send out all the acceptances at once? At what point would Wendy just say "well, that's enough for today, maybe I'll do the rest tomorrow"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
