harro Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 I feel we need this. For those who got an offer, congrats! Is there any chance you'll drop U of C to help us waitlisters out? haha How many waitlisted people were accepted last year? anyone have stats?

regrep Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Just a fellow waitlister here... Rationally, I know this is better than a rejection, but it feels worse somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frostycappuccino Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Didn't expect them to come out so fast... I was waitlisted as well. Does anyone know when the deadline is for those accepted to accept/decline their offer? But from AFMC, it seems 92 people declined + 13 deferrals last year, so there is still a lot of hope!

Guest2020 Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 The deadline is May 27th. I was accepted off the Dal waitlist and will be attending Dal. I have already declined my offer. I was rejected the last two years and also know how it feels to be on the waitlist. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freewheeler Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 For waitlisters, there will probably be a decent amount of movement as Ontario schools won't release decisions for another week (not to mention U of A has yet to release decisions as well). Just try and keep your mind off of all this, do something fun and try not to spend too much time checking your email/PM101. You're almost there!

whalewhalewhale Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Hi everyone! I received a waitlist email, followed by an acceptance, followed by a third email 20 minutes later that said my acceptance was an accident. I'm wondering whether anyone else went through this? It really upset me but I'm trying to figure out whether I'm the only one. Let me know! Edit: Received an OOP offer on June 10th. Will likely be turning it down in favour of McMaster, but will be deciding over the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really upset me but I'm trying to figure out whether I'm the only one. Let me know! That's absolutely brutal. I'm so sorry that happened to you and would like to let you know that I'm quite sure all the lovely people in admissions are beating themselves up over it. Hope this didn't happen to too many people!

whalewhalewhale Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Thanks Unfortunately my dad had already cracked the champagne and I had already called my friends in happy tears by the time the third email came. I'm glad this didn't happen to everyone, I was worried they accepted the whole waitlist like McMaster did a few years ago. Good luck to everyone!

jackz Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 That is brutal. So sorry you had to deal with that Didn't happen to me - only the one email indicating I am on the waitlist. Hopefully you'll get the real acceptance email soon! Same here. That's really brutal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PM333 Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Does anyone know how many people get put on wait list? Also, I know that medical schools give out more acceptances than class size typically. Does anyone have any idea how many acceptance emails are sent out?Any insight would be appreciated:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad this didn't happen to everyone, I was worried they accepted the whole waitlist like McMaster did a few years ago. Good luck to everyone! Ugh. This is a real-life nightmare . So sorry you are having to deal with that . Admissions would feel horrible---they're all very kind people---but I know that probably doesn't help with the feelings you're having right now. So sorry . I hope it works out in the end for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nontrad1314 Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Hi everyone!

It really upset me but I'm trying to figure out whether I'm the only one. Let me know! The triple email also happened to me. I'm out of province and my name is near the top alphabetically, but really who knows why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whalewhalewhale Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Could it have been the entire out of province waitlist? I'm OOP and another OOP messaged me saying this happened to him/her. Can't believe this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
