iamnatedawg Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 honestly being on the waitlist is probably one of the worst experiences haha. Yeah I've given up as well and started planning with the assumption I don't get in. Also dreading about going through the application process again.

criston Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 honestly being on the waitlist is probably one of the worst experiences haha. Yeah I've given up as well and started planning with the assumption I don't get in. Also dreading about going through the application process again. Yeah, I feel the same way. Being on the waitlist, without knowing where you stand, is one of the most frustrating experiences. Who knows, maybe your next email will be the offer email! If only they could just rollover our application materials to the next year so I wouldn't have to hassle my references to fill out the forms again.

iamnatedawg Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 Yeah, at least they can somewhat copy and paste the reference letters haha. But being on the waitlist is the equivalent of saying.. yeah you were good, but not good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
med2family Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 Have you decided between UBC and Mac yet? Nope, still deciding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jfdes Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 I wonder if they made the waitlist a bit longer than usual because of the higher amount of declines last year. The pessimist in me thinks that's the case, and I would have gotten a rejection otherwise. Blah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UGUG Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 I've accepted that it's not happening at this point. But would definitely rate being on the wait list as one of my least favourite experiences Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfdes Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 I think I would have preferred getting straight rejected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itsmeagain Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 Hi guys! my post will be odd here, but I am wait listed at U of T dentistry, so I was wondering any of you who are on the med wait list, has been accepted to u of t dentistry so that if you get in to med, would drop your spot in dentistry:s (I hope its not that confusing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
criston Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 Yeah, sorry if I mislead anyone! There are like 380 people in the 2019 group compared to around 480 in the other ones so it is definitely NOT just the actual class. But it gives me some hope because there likely is some space. Well there's 408 in the group now! If anyone has some free time, you could count how many of them are upper years by removing the people who were added more than 3 weeks ago and by looking through the others' profiles to remove those who are already med students. There's not much else hopeful waitlisters like us can do, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

criston Posted June 2, 2016 Report Share Posted June 2, 2016 I'm just hoping that Wendy and her team has been too busy with other matters that they haven't been able to send more offers to us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfdes Posted June 2, 2016 Report Share Posted June 2, 2016 It's really odd that Ottawa and Queen's have both been moving, but Mac hasn't. All the forums seem to be much less active in general though, so its likely that people have been getting offers this week and just not posting them.

KindAnt Posted June 2, 2016 Report Share Posted June 2, 2016 Well, there SEEMS to be a number of people mulling over offers from Mac and other universities in Ontario (they got in off the waitlist at two or more schools) or trying to choose between Mac and a school in a different Province...so chances are that the waitlist will move a little more... In past years, Wendy has sent out an email saying that the class is full near the end of June...so we will see... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
criston Posted June 2, 2016 Report Share Posted June 2, 2016 Well considering that a lot of Mac waitlist offers went out starting 2 weeks ago Thursday and Friday, hopefully there will be some movement in the coming days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m_jacob_45 Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 Hey guys! I was recently accepted to Ottawa, so I have taken myself off the Mac wait list. Hope that it helps somebody else get in. Good luck everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BirdyBirdy Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 Hey guys! I was just accepted to both Ottawa and McMaster (11:05 AM). I will be taking myself off one of the waiting lists. The list is still moving, so don't give up hope! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
criston Posted June 4, 2016 Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 Congrats to those who got in at Mac and at other schools! I envy receiving two offers on one day! The Facebook group has grown to 422 (up from 418 yesterday). Could it be said that the higher amount of people who were offered off the waitlist prior to the initial deadline compared to previous years suggest that more people declined McMaster, at least earlier on? This would assume McMaster initially overaccepts by a similar amount each year. However, the low number of posts on this forum regarding waitlist offers subsequent to May 24th seems to negate my hypothesis - perhaps people have just been more diligent in deciding early. Well hopefully, we'll see some more offers sent out next week, as it will be the 2-week deadline for those who received offers during the week of May 24th.
