Neurophilic Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 Does anyone know if accepting an offer outside of Ontario affects waitlists in Ontario? I have an offer from University of Saskatchewan that I need to reply to by May 30th, but I'm on the waitlist for Mac and hoping I'll hear back before then. I've heard the waitlist for Mac often goes into June, and was wondering if accepting my offer to UofS would take me off of Macs waitlist. I appreciate any help No it shouldn't affect your waitlists in Ontario. You'd only be removed from all Ontario waitlists if you accepted an offer from an Ontario school.

Ethereal Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 Chances are, at least one person from PM101 will get off the waitlist in 2 days. The floodgates are opening... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying that there's someone who has made it off the waitlist whether it be you or a friend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only if you get an offer from Mac, you need to remove yourself from Sask within 1-2 days after paying your Mac deposit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it safe to assume that majority of the offers to waitlists are made within this week? I know some offers are sent out into mid-June or even later... but the people who are getting offers this or next week are probably going to people who don't have much options in the first place i.e.didn't get accepted into any school outright..

And could you post the timestamps? I ranked Waterloo second! 2:15PM was the time Was it via email or did they call you?

doctor111 Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 hm.... i'm confused as to why they are giving people their second choice so early in the waitlist! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfdes Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 hm.... i'm confused as to why they are giving people their second choice so early in the waitlist! It was probably the first spot that became available. So if they're sending in batches, it doesn't look like they're trying at all to match people to their 1st choice (which probably makes sense, as that would be hard - but good to get some evidence of this).

PurpleS Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 McMaster sends offers based on the first available spot (ex. if the a Waterloo offer was rejected, then the next person on the wait list receives an Waterloo offer). I personally like this approach because our regional campuses are great (if not better!). Unfortunately it doesn't take individual preference into account.
