Guest deeds16 Posted May 31, 2004 Report Share Posted May 31, 2004 Hey Guys, I talked to Beth Jennings last week, and she mentioned that they were going to try and send the letters out by today (May 31st). (Wow, yet another period of going home and checking my mail with fear/anticipation...gggggreeaaatttt!!!) So just thought I'd start a thread for those of us still waiting to hear something. When you guys do hear something, it would be GREAT if y'all could keep us informed. Once again, GOOD LUCK everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Win2002 Posted May 31, 2004 Report Share Posted May 31, 2004 here comes that familiar "butterflies in the stomach" feeling everytime I walk near my mailbox syndrome again... g'luck everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ian Wong Posted May 31, 2004 Report Share Posted May 31, 2004 Hey, good luck everyone! Let us know when the letters arrive! Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Win2002 Posted June 2, 2004 Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 I'm surprised no one using the board has heard by now. I sort of figured Manitoba residents would have heard back at least. I Live on the East coast so imagine I won't hear back until 2-3 days after the Manitobans have heard. Doesn't stop me from checking the mailbox compulsively though!

Guest j100 Posted June 2, 2004 Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 The U of M dates are not carved in stone, and in fact I would actually add days if not weeks to the times they provide. Although in this instance, I think someone mentioned on this board that they talked with someone in the office last week that said letters would be sent out shortly. Good luck everyone. J.

Guest jackiedirks Posted June 2, 2004 Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 My friend who lives in Winnipeg got her acceptance letter today. Congratulations and good luck guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pjdavis Posted June 2, 2004 Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 First off congrats to your friend. Secondly, I think that there are three reasons we are not hearing much out of Manitoba. 1) Most of the province is rural and in-province mail may take longer than in other provinces like Alberta and ontario. 2) When the first round of acceptances came out very few people I think it was about 3 or 4 said they got in and we know ~30 were sent out suggesting that on-line interest in the school is not as high as for any of the others (which may explain why the number of posts is so low) 3)They had two mailing days the 31st and the 1st and the in-province mail may have been sent on the second day so that everyone would hear about the same time. Anyway still waiting in Alberta good luck to all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dhowser Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 Just to let everyone know, I called in today and Christie's answering machine says that the letters were sent out on tuesday june 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jrashad99 Posted June 4, 2004 Report Share Posted June 4, 2004 Well....not quite what I wanted to hear but not that bad either...... OOP Waitlisted..... any idea how many are placed in this list... the stress hasn't ended, jrashad99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Win2002 Posted June 4, 2004 Report Share Posted June 4, 2004 haha as soon as i read your post, jrashad99, I ran out to check my mailbox....damnit, no mail yet! (psst, what province are you in and why does NS have to be so far from manitoba?!) I don't know how many oop are on the waitlist but last year they made 32 offers to oop candidates so uh, if you assume 9 of those were accepted out right there was at least 23 ppl on the oop waitlist who got offers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jrashad99 Posted June 4, 2004 Report Share Posted June 4, 2004 Win2002, I'm in Alberta. I just called a someone else from U of A, and they are waitlisted too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest deeds16 Posted June 4, 2004 Report Share Posted June 4, 2004 hey jsrashad99, I'm in the same boat as you....MORE waiting (but I'm relieved it wasn't a flat out rejection...as I had been expecting). I hope Christie will give me my spot number on the waitlist on Monday. Anyone else with any news? (I'm from Ontario btw) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dhowser Posted June 4, 2004 Report Share Posted June 4, 2004 waitlisted as well! Is it possible to find a waitlist number? Oh ya, from BC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest deeds16 Posted June 4, 2004 Report Share Posted June 4, 2004 I'm not sure...but I'll give it a shot. I called the main office (as Christie and Beth were not in today), and they implied that I could find out something by talking to Christie (on Monday). What exactly is another question.

Guest ubcpharmer Posted June 4, 2004 Report Share Posted June 4, 2004 I am also waitlisted. For me it doesn't matter as I got into UBC and will be going there Good Luck to you all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest coastal79 Posted June 4, 2004 Report Share Posted June 4, 2004 I haven't gotten my letter yet but, if I do get in, I'll be declining to go to Queens. I'm OOP. One less person to worry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest deeds16 Posted June 7, 2004 Report Share Posted June 7, 2004 I called Beth, and she said that she couldn't really say. She told me that Out of Province wait lists are really hard to predict...some years oop students immediately take up the spots, while other years they don't. She also said that given my spot (she wouldn't say where), I am most likely NOT to hear immediately. She also said that there are 30 wait list spots for OOP students this year...and there were >45 interviewed this year. This is REALLY tough news for me to hear...as I have a spot in an American School (which I really can't afford and I really don't want to go to). But now, it looks like I better start making preparations to go..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest deeds16 Posted June 7, 2004 Report Share Posted June 7, 2004 Question to the Manitoba moderators/or anyone else who knows: I know this question has been asked in the past many times...so sorry for asking again. How many people were accepted off the OOP waitlist last year (and if you know...the year before)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest coastal79 Posted June 7, 2004 Report Share Posted June 7, 2004 deeds16, that info is on the U Man website, in the statistics. It doesn't give you an exact number, but you can make a pretty good guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jrashad99 Posted June 7, 2004 Report Share Posted June 7, 2004 well they wouldn't tell me anything specific, all they would say was that I was in the top half of the waitlist. lets hope it moves quickly. jrashad99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Win2002 Posted June 7, 2004 Report Share Posted June 7, 2004 oh wow....my paranoia had the whole weekend to run rampant....By this morning I was "pretty sure" I was rejected Ended up being OOP waitlisted which in comparison to the alternate scenario that was playing in my head is just fine with me =D Out of all the schools I've applied I have 3 waitlists, 2 rejections....hope I can get that one acceptance!

Guest ManitobaMed Posted June 9, 2004 Report Share Posted June 9, 2004 Just popping in to say good luck to those of you on the waitlist. With my class, waitlisted students were added right up until midway through our orientation week, and the U of M *usually* -- though not always -- goes pretty deep into the OOP waitlist. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you guys/gals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest coastal79 Posted June 11, 2004 Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 The waitlist is moving, so definitely keep those fingers crossed. I got a call this morning, and declined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest deeds16 Posted June 11, 2004 Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 that's definitely good news...is anyone else declining if they get in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sweetstuff25 Posted June 12, 2004 Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 does anyone know the number of in province (manitoba) waitlists? my friend told me he was somewhere in the middle but no idea how big the list is. i wonder if it includes the ppl oop.
