This day is crazy. I'm so glad I took today off work! I'm just going to read this forum all day.

[jfdes]

Yeah, I should have taken off work as well, spent the first 40 minutes basically on these forums

 

Thankfully its a slow day here at least

Does anyone know the deadline for accepting on Ontario offer if you got one today? Is it the same for every school?

[jmes.91]

Does anyone know what the waitlist movement is like for Ottawa (French)? And when waitlist offers will start going out for McMaster and Ottawa? 

 

The anxiety and uncertainty continues....

2 weeks, it's the same for every school.

[jfdes]

Don't know about Ottawa, but last year the McMaster waitlist started moving ~9 days after initial offers

I hope everyone got the news they wanted today! this community was my rock when times were the worst. 

Good luck to everyone still waiting!

Schulich plz put me out of my misery 

[Neurophilic]

I wish I could just be placed in an induced coma and woken up with an acceptance. JUST. A. FEW. MORE. WEEKS.

Does anyone know if Ontario schools over-accept? I've seen speculation before, and Calgary has confirmed that they do, but I've never seen anything definitely posted about any of the schools in Ontario...

Right? I need this tiny bit of hope I have to be taken away so I can fully focus on next cycle.

I'd imagine all the schools over accept to some degree yes. U of T released a video last year on their application process and they said they make around 330 offers total for their 259 spots, and there is very little waitlist movement so I think a significant number of those are initial offers. Plus I think I remember the admissions director mentioning something about it at my interview though I cant be sure...

[jfdes]

Interesting. I'm just curious how that would work when many of these schools also specify the campus, which is binding to the offer. With Calgary its easy since there's only one campus, but I'd imagine it would be tricky to say over-accept to the Hamilton campus for Mac, but all the people who end up accepting the initial offers choose that one.

 

EDIT: and another question I've never seen answered - when they say they make 330 offers, does this include people who were high up on the waitlist but were removed through OMSAS when they accepted another school's initial offer? If it doesn't, then that bodes quite well for waitlisters, as they would probably make it through a larger chunk of the list...

Congrats everyone! It seem like Schulich is coming out now. So anyone with questions about Schulich, feel free to pm me!

For those who were accepted to Ottawa, think about how cold it will be in winters... You probably don't wanna put yourself through that. Might as well accept another school

I will likely be taking myself off the wait list for Ottawa, if that helps at all? But maybe you're ahead of me anyway

[Neurophilic]

Hey all. I was wondering if everyone who interviewed at Queen's would be so kind to participate in a poll to help us Queen's waitlisters try and gauge potential movement and keep our sanity. Thanks in advance! The link to the poll is below.

Just wondering... Am I the only one that's really worried that their acceptances are mistakes...? I know, I'm probably paranoid, but it's a strange feeling after prepping myself to receive rejections. Anyway, congrats to everyone that got good news today!

People still feel that way one year into med school, so don't worry about it
