the.milky.way Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 Hi everyone, I wanted to confirm whether this: "Your acceptance of this offer will only be considered valid by Western if a deposit of $1000 (bank draft or money order payable to Western University) is received by the Admissions Office within one week of the response deadline. This minimum deposit will be applied against your tuition fee. Be sure to include your name and OMSAS number on the front of your bank draft or money order. Failure to include this deposit with your acceptance will result in your offer being withdrawn. Personal cheques are not acceptable." meant that $1000 needs to be received one week after May 27th (the response deadline)? Thanks very much for your time!

AnotherDreamer Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 I believe so. I handed my deposit ASAP though in person since I'm in town... if you are worried about getting it in on time, come visit London Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmatt1122 Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Sent mine yesterday and it got there today! Maybe I was being paranoid but I sent it with tracking and signature required so they can't claim not to have received it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I was being paranoid but I sent it with tracking and signature required so they can't claim not to have received it. hehehe - side note, people go through this every year - the stress the I cannot believe it really aspect, the premed focus. At this point they actually want you in the program. They really do - and as such you will soon notice that the admins are friendly people out to help you rather than retract your acceptance because of a clerical error. You won't fully believe me, no one ever does. Regardless you soon will understand as we all learned to understand. The admin now is there to protect and support you rather than be an barrier to your dreams. Welcome to Western! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the.milky.way Posted May 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 I had mine delivered by XpressPost and somebody named J. Brown signed for it. I know this is a very paranoid question but just wanted to confirm whether there is such an individual in the Admissions Dept. and that Canada Post didn't mess up? They've screwed up several deliveries on my part, so just in case... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That name doesn't ring a bell but the shipping department at Western for packages is not actually in the office and likely they work down there. Packages are then sent up to the office later.

Jaybird Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 Got the email...but why in the world does it say "effective December 2013" at the bottom, past the logo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waitingfornews Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 Unsure if this is the right thread to post this in, but if we're applying for OSAP do we use Western as our main school even if we're accepted to the Windsor campus? I know we get a UWindsor student number, but tuition is due to UWO. A bit confused and looking to start my OSAP application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, though you are in school in Windsor you are a Western student and not a UWindsor Student (though you are affiliated so you can use their services).
