pepper22 Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 I feel like uwo waitlist wouldn't move too far. Only because I see lower gpa/dat applicants getting in (which is awesome), and they wouldn't be too competitive elsewhere, unless they choose med or something which is also pretty EC heavy My fear exactly.

hotlinebliiing Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 Singh saab, keep hope. If not this year, next year. From what I gathered you've had a lot of interviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swagdds Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 Does anyone know if UT overaccept people?? Say the class size is 86. Do they accept 100 people to begin with, and expect 14 of them to reject anyways? Last year it says that 139 people were given admissions with class size of 96, but I am not sure if 43 of them were ALL from waitlist Keep in mind that people on the waitlist may decline too resulting in movement so it doesn't necessarily mean that 43 people in that class are from the waitlist. What it does mean is that they did send out 43 additional acceptances on top of the original 96! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I get the call, awesome, but I'm already planning for next cycle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OralG Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 What about the OOP waitlist? Most of you know that it is a separate waitlist for OOP students that only moves when OOP students that were offered admission (9 this cycle) decline the faculties offer. They put out numbers that 30+ students get accepted from the waitlist, this presumably includes the OOP waitlist also. Does anyone know how the dynamics in the OOP waitlist differ from the general combined waitlist movement? I'm OOP waitlisted, hence why I even care lol.

OralG Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 they usually get through the entire OOP waitlist (based on past cycles)Hold on a second hahaha Jesus, I've never heard anything like that before. In fact I've never heard anything about the OOP waitlist other than what I've said. Your answer literally has the potential to flip my entire life right side up since receiving waitlist notification lol. So let's go easy here. Thanks for your response, I should call you 2020vision. May I ask how you know this? Or for more information please? By entire OOP list, how many people are we talking here? Brb, on my way to CIBC for 275K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uoft2020 Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 Lol, I'm glad I was the one who delivered the good new. If you go and check the 2019 uoft thread, it should be there somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brb, on my way to CIBC for 275K There's 7 people on the OOP waitlist and the registrar says it usually clears. Chances are pretty good if you're on the waitlist but there is some variability since the waitlist is small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kdd737 Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 I was #7 on the OOP wait list last year and never got in. It only moved 6 spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iamadentistnow Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 I think this year U of T waitlist would move a lot because I have noticed that this year many students who got accepted to both UWO and UofT, prefer accepting UWO over U of T because of what they have seen during the interview and friendlier atmosphere at UWO. I am waitlisted at both schools and my preference is UWO for sure. We should just wait a couple of weeks and see... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am waitlisted at both schools and my preference is UWO for sure. We should just wait a couple of weeks and see... From what I have heard and seen, the atmosphere at U of T is just as friendly and supportive as UWO First year students at U of T were definitely very friendly and helpful on my interview day. My friends who applied this year chose U of T over UWO and so did I because I'm quite hesitant about living in London for 4 years. IMO U of T waitlist movement will be no different from previous years because there has almost been a handful of people who chose UWO over U of T. It'll probably be the med school applicants that would really get the waitlist moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll probably be the med school applicants that would really get the waitlist moving. I really respect your opinion and for sure U of T is a great school, but the reason behind my decision( choosing UWO over U of T) is not only the great atmosphere at UWO, but the fact that since UWO does not many residencies, the student in the DDS program learn to do more advanced stuff than those in U of T (eg using microscope for doing root canals). These techniques are thought at U of T only when students get into residency, however at UWO that does not have those residencies undergrads learn those, which I found to be very interesting. Anyhow, congrats on your decision and best of luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
