RiverCityJill Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 Do we know around how many got in off the wait list last year? I guess it's probably more difficult to know for schools like Mac since they don't (as far as I know) tell people their rank position on the list. How's everybody feeling now that we're ~33 or so hours out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How's everybody feeling now that we're ~33 or so hours out? I was on the wait-list last year and I would say that there is between 30-40 people that moved on the wait-list... Mac has the greatest wait-list movement but quite a few people were taken from the wait-list last year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have had a positive outlook since last year's waitlist torture. I hope we can be classmates! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leon Posted May 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 Is it true that the Mac waitlist moves the most? I thought that Queens WL was the one that shifted the most. Mac's movement is believed to be the most. Queens used to be very high but recent changes to their curriculum + new building have caused a giant drop. I think it barely moved last year. It made me feel like extra sh!t last year as I was waitlisted at Mac and never made it off the waitlist haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thehumanmacbook Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 We so excited. Hopefully all the offers from the Ontario schools will be out by 10 AM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danisings Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 Hopefully all the offers from the Ontario schools will be out by 10 AM! Isn't it usually early in the morning? Last year I heard from Ottawa around 8am, I know Queen's is supposed to release at 8am and I read somewhere on here that Mac was around 8:30am last year? Man this day is killing me, I just got off work and now can't distract myself. I think I'll workout and go for a run...only way to clear my head!

Leon Posted May 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 Good luck tomorrow everyone. I'm going to sign out and sleep. I don't intend to check the forum until the e-mails begin. Thank you to everyone here that made the last few weeks bearable. This community is amazing and I hope I was able to make some of you feel at ease, the way you guys put me at ease. I know it's not possible for everyone but I hope as many people as possible get the best possible news tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanmari Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 Yes LOL That's pretty cool, I wish I'd made a paired account with one of the people I know who have run with me this cycle. How are you spending the night? I'm re-running some old shows I've meant to watch again for some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have to be at work/somewhere tomorrow as well? I am just watching old Friends episodes Oh man, Friends was so good, do you think the 2014 comeback rumours are real? The show was so good that they even made a show modeled after it in the country I come from. I was supposed to go do some work at the lab tomorrow (not paid work - I'm just an undergrad) but through some twists of luck the machinery I need to work with is malfunctioning so I won't have to. With the Queen's situation being as it is, I'm sorry I can no longer imagine how scary it must be for those waiting for the morning - but a few hours ago I knew, and it was terrible, and it was dark, and hang in there, because no matter what happens this isn't the end, but you knew that already, right =) You'll make it through.

Congrats on your Queen's acceptance! What is your first choice? I doubt the comeback rumours are true... although I'd be very happy if they were haha...

Thanks =) My first choice is Toronto for now, but I have to admit I'm not informed enough to make a choice right now. If surplus luck comes my way, I'll spend the next few weeks looking for that info! Ahh yes, comeback would make me happy too. I wonder if they'll keep the same opening song? The Rembrandts were great and it is such a signature piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the opening song They probably will keep it if it comes back as all the previous 10 seasons had it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like although the people on this forum are often concerned with and disagree about practical things like lifestyle, salaries, what it takes to be a doctor, etc., the fact that we all wish each other well in the end speaks a lot. I feel like all of us who can tell each other good things these days will go on to be great people, doctor or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks takeinfinity I think so too... this forum has been a constant source of information and support for me over the past year. I think that it really helps to know that there are others in the same boat as you. I also know that if I do not get in, it is because some other very qualified people did... I can tell from the interviewees on this forum that I am in good company Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can tell from the interviewees on this forum that I am in good company I'm still here, albeit but for the next little while! I'm listening to all sorts of music now. Andrea Bocelli has a phenomenal voice, if you're into that kind of stuff. EDIT: Hahah looks like a lot of people are off now, so I'll also call it a night - best wishes for the morning =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
