ShadowStar Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Diff schools have diff policies. I think UBC sends acceptances, waitlist, rejections separately (correct me if i'm wrong). Western seems to send them together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bearded frog Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Last year mac's email system crashed, they sent out the acceptances right away, and possibly the rejections, then for wait-lists it started sending out everyones personal info or something so they pulled the plug completely. Then they sent an email to EVERYONE even those rejected saying oops something messed up, wait for an official update! But in the end it was just the wait lists that didn't get sent out till like 3 pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaybird Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Western's came out at like 3pm last year, so don't bother staying up all night like I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmorelan Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 The past few years, Mac sent out invites first then waitlists then rejection. Queen's seems to screw theirs up annually. The others I'm not sure about. often without a predictable pattern - people always want to figure out a pattern of course but often it is just down some trivial random thing.

Birdy Posted April 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 All I know for sure is that I am going to be very, very unproductive for most of May 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heisencat Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Maybe I should have my ISP block premed101 for May 12th so that I don't crash the website or drive myself crazy.. That's actually a really good idea. I plan to do that in two weeks, or just not come on the site at all. I remember how awful it was last year to see people posting about their acceptances right away in the morning, getting my hopes up as I waited, waited and waited, only to receive a rejection in the afternoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardHammond Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 Anyone already looking for housing before hearing an actual answer from the schools? I want to start doing my research but I know getting excited about places to live would make rejections feel even worse haha. Last year I was looking into furniture and decor I wanted to have in my place if I made it in and then... nope... haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year I was looking into furniture and decor I wanted to have in my place if I made it in and then... nope... haha Yep. Already have an idea where we'll live, what we can expect to pay for what we want and what school my kids will go to. Basically I'm ready to just hit the first domino if I'm accepted. Have to be. Funny that the rent for houses in Hamilton isn't that bad compared to Charlottetown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowStar Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 Today, I started watching 2015 admissions videos to all the schools, even ones I didn't interview at. Couldn't find a couple though. Not exactly the best past-time but got me through today. Now to tackle tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
