notapplicable Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 Hi everyone, Does anyone know how they contact you if you do get an offer off the waitlist (ie. phone call, email)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thestar10 Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 Both. Email first though. I assume that its the same process as an interview wait list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notapplicable Posted May 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 Sounds good. I'm out of the country for the next week, but with normal internet access and while my parents are home to answer the phone they always let it go to voice mail =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc_someday Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 I'm an OOP applicant on the wait-list. I was a little (ok, a lot) disappointed, but this is still a step-up from last year when I was rejected outright post-interview. Does anyone know how the wait-list works in terms of IP and OOP? Are there two separate lists? Hoping we see a lot of movement this year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jojo59 Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 Does anyone know when wait-listed applicants might start hearing anything? I know it's a rolling basis, but based on previous years how quickly do they start moving the wait-list along? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polka Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 I was waitlisted last year and I got the offer via email and then through mail (no phone call). I think they started moving around the end of May last year, but don't quote me on that. But keep up the good spirits! The wait-list is a torturous process (I know) but it means you're very close and you've definitely done something right. Even if that means a boost to reapply next year!

petersmith Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 They notify you by email. Applicants have 2 weeks to respond to the offers that went out today, and after that, waitlist movement starts. The first burst is the largest (during the first few days after the 2-week period), and I think you have 1 week to respond to a waitlist offer.

worriedforherfuture Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 I've heard from some med students at McMaster that there is some waitlist movement before the deadline for acceptance, though not much. Can anyone confirm that info? I got into Western at the London campus and I really loved it there so I'm leaning towards accepting, but McMaster became my number one choice over the process of applying and interviewing and I kind of want to maybe wait a little and see if I get off the waitlist before the 28th since right now Mac is still number one in my heart. There's no point in waiting though if that little tidbit about waitlist movement before the 28th is false. So if anyone can shed some light I would greatly appreciate it.

Marauder101 Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 Hey- I got in off the wait list before the 2 weeks last year but I believe it was only the day before (so for me the 29th I think). It makes it tight but if you wait to accept Western until the last day there is a chance if you are at the top! Good luck and congrats on your acceptance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigphish Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 I've been searching forums and can't find an answer, but I was wondering if anyone knows the waitlist length at mac, or if there is any notification sent in the mail indicating either waitlist rank or relative position (high, low etc.). It's kind of annoying to have to wait in the dark with absolutely no indication of where I stand, all the other schools seem to do this, why not mac? , thanks in advance for any replies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's kind of annoying to have to wait in the dark with absolutely no indication of where I stand, all the other schools seem to do this, why not mac? , thanks in advance for any replies It definitely is very frustrating - I was waitlisted last year. There is no info on numbers or rank however. Most people getting in off the waitlist got in by the first week of June last year. Hope that helps! Hang in there!

dkb Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Aryastark, do you by any chance know offhand a rough count of how many people in your class got in off of the waitlist last year? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aryastark Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 Aryastark, do you by any chance know offhand a rough count of how many people in your class got in off of the waitlist last year? Thanks! Hey, sorry I just saw this. Unfortunately I don't have any numbers, and all I can tell you is that I've met quite a few people in our class that got in off the waitlist last year. Good luck guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comeon Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 It was a really high number last year. Check out the afmc document for rough numbers from previous years. Based on student impressions on interview days and the posts here, I feel that this year the movement will tone down to normal again. Aryastark, do you by any chance know offhand a rough count of how many people in your class got in off of the waitlist last year? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
