2015 Countdown

[Abonnen]

I remember them mentioning at the interview that you get two weeks to accept? I got waitlisted, OOP

[sunday]

For some reason I thought they would mention which third you are on the waitlist (start/middle/end)..guess not.

 

Also there was no information about when they will start to notify people on the waitlist should spots become available.

 

For anyone who has been accepted (first congrats!) up to what date do you have to confirm your acceptance?

 

pretty sure it was mentioned, first round of offers gets til the end of the month. then it was either every 2 weeks or week. i don't quite remember.

[Shinkiro]

i don't think so. i mean you're free to, but they do say explicitly that no further information on position will be given.

but it does say "Any inquiries concerning your personal file must be in writing or email(med.admissions@usask.ca) addressed to Ms. Sherrill Bueckert, Admissions Coordinator."

:\ So.... what are we allowed to ask?

i'm sure that means for inquiries regarding anything else other than waitlist position. lol

Waitlisted, OOP

[haps]

Pretty silly to not provide some form of an indication as to where you are on the list, but such is life.

[mmd7]

Still waiting for IP!

[amanda48]

I heard some IP wait listed emails went out. Hopefully not hearing yet is a good thing and IP acceptances are the last wave sent.

i would think this year they would follow in the steps of other med schools and give people more information. u of c and u of a released early to accommodate the requirement for the new mcat2015. for the people that are wondering if they need to take it, being put on a waitlist without indication of ranking is pretty terrible.

Any word from IP or aboriginal applicants?

I agree. Although it makes sense for the school. They never had enough OOP, so they don't know how deep they'll go this time. Telilng ppl they're in the bottom half will scare them off lol.

Also, it doesn't make sense telling OOP positions if the waitlist moves fast and the positions are constantly changing. I'm willing to bet a couple dozen people already declined because of getting into Ontario schools a few days ago.

Yup. And so are folks who got into UBC, UA and Calgs. We certainly hope that's the case haha.

Yep. A bunch of my friends, including myself, have heard. (All good news, so far!)

[Katee87]

I still have recieved an email, lol. I'm assumin the worst

[Katee87]

Haven't ****

[acdhdrls]

I still have recieved an email, lol. I'm assumin the worst

I heard that a regret was sent out this morning. Hold out! 

[waiting1]

Does anyone have any idea about how many acceptances are offered for IP today? Is that 88 or less than that?

[mmd7]

In for top choice (Saskatoon) time stamped at 11:57 am SK time! Woo!

does this mean that 88 of the 88 IP Applicants would be sent an acceptance email by may 29 and wait list will move after few of those 88 students decline the offer? Or not all 88 students are sent acceptances in first wave?

I'm fairly certain that all 88 accepted IP applicants were sent emails with offers yesterday. When declines start rolling in (and they will), admissions will send out offers to those on the waiting list.
