ecobeco Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 Does UWO have 3 waitlists? High, Normal and Low? My email said: In recent years, applicants in your position on the Wait List have received an offer of admission. Should I be optimistic or not? Is this the normal waitlist? Please and thank you.

ecobeco Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 Hmm. Would you happen to know approx when those on waitlist are given offers? I'm in a bit of a deadline crisis as I must respond to my offer for a Master's program soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmorelan Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 what a day (morning I guess). - rejection from Mac to start the day. Thought the interview was my best one, so got me super worried. -waitlist at Queens. Didn't think i did well, was sort of expecting this but still made me even more nervous. -rejection from Toronto. NOW I was feeling horrible. Mac/Toronto I thought went well, and have pretty good odds post interview. At this point I was convinced I was a horrible person/interviewee and had no chance. -acceptance to Western, 2 hours earlier than I anticipated. Nearly cried of joy. hehehehe to be honest you never know how you do at interviews - just a random thing. but it all doesn't matter - you are in. Now go celebrate.

uwo_guy Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 Must not have performed as well as I could have on interview day. Who knows though.. Will keep at it haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmorelan Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 I'm kind of shocked. Was my interview that bad at Western? I'm Swomen second undergrad. How embarrassing. what happened? Nothing good I assume Sometimes people do just have a bad day - it happens. Sucks, but happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dassy Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 yeah unfortunately that is the low waitlist line UWO has a low waitlist now?? Or were you talking about Ottawa? Does Ottawa usually go through their "good" waitlist? Ottawa doesn't tend to get through all of their "good" waitlist unfortunately. UWO has a very small "good" waitlist, with the odds that everyone usually gets an acceptance. But being on the good waitlist for Ottawa is better than the other waitlists! Good luck Ottawa.

ecobeco Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 What would the email say if I was on the normal waitlist? "Applicants in your position have sometimes been offered admission?" Just trying to make sure I'm actually on the high wait lost before I lose my mind lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just trying to make sure I'm actually on the high wait lost before I lose my mind lol It just doesn't say anything - I think there's a thread in the Western discussion that shows what each says. But I got what you got "in recent years, people in your position have been offered admission". I'm also scared they made a mistake and meant to say "have not" but I think we shouldn't be paranoid. I'm sure they didn't make a mistake! The only mistake I found in my email was they spelled Schulich with two "L"s (schuLLich) in the subject so that worried me that someone was trying to prank me at first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecobeco Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 Just checked - mine also has two L's in Schulich haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
commanderadama Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 man, Schulich has typos in their emails a lot. for my interview invite they said "Good News from Schulich Medicinee", I was also worried it was a prank at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
