DDSER Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Wow, I seriously don't understand the hate pineapples get. Hawaiian pizza may be the greatest Canadian invention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crispy_Dorito Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 I think similar to how UWO meds works, you'll see the high waitlist completely clear and about 1/3 to 1/2 of the normal waitlist clear. UWO meds has almost never gotten to the low waitlist (I think they never have). Only difference is that UWO med high waitlist clears in a few days because of the OMSAS centralized system. People hold onto dent offers all summer/til the last second :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timets6 Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 I'd say it makes a difference. Simply comparing it to our old lab we're able to be more efficient and get more confidence in our skills before letting us loose on real patients. That way we can focus more on patient skills rather than the pure carpenter-dentistry side of things. Our endo equipment apparently is top notch. We even got these fancy new microscopes to use if we desire to learn with them (most of our class doesn't use them, but it's neat to see what's out there). We have digital x-rays in the simulation clinic now... the throughput of those allowed us to pretty much double our learning efficiency in endo. The new 'wet' rooms have also basically doubled in capacity to improve efficiency (models, denture work etc). I think overall it's a big step up from our previous lab. It's not perfect but it's a big upgrade. I mean what you're saying is true... Previous classes are doing just fine with the simulation practice they got from the 'old' sim clinic. But it's definitely not something I would overlook as a deciding factor. And to that low blow... during our entrance year, I'm quite sure the UofT wait-list moved almost completely... At the end of the day you're a dentist coming out. The quality of dentist depends 75% on you and 24% on your peers. I'd say 1% on the school. When are clinics open for practice?

powerpenguin Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 Stop throwing shade boys and girls, both U of T and UWO are very average schools and both have a lot of problems with them. The biggest factor for what kind of dentist you become is yourself and your motivation to learn proper dentistry and treat patients well. Any difference you get between the two schools in 4 years is nothing compared to the learning in 30 years of practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaandrei. Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 When are clinics open for practice? 6-10 mon-thursday for most of the year... more than enough I'd say. Not sure why anyone would 'need' more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dentistry001 Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 Anyone know where the waitlist is at now? Approx. how many people got a call... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DentalFoodie Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 No one knows since UWO doesn't rank but until someone from the normal list says they get it we're still on the high waitlist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetstream Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 Probably won't move much or at all until the deposit is due (June 1st) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winnipeg9416 Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 Two people have confirmed here that they've been accepted off the waitlist. I've also heard through a friend of one other person (who doesn't follow these forums) that was accepted off the high waitlist. So 3 lol! I agree, probably not much movement until June 1st!

Waves Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 I'm pretty sure around 10 people have gotten off the waitlist so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WomboCombo Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 Schulich is a top-notch school but I have decided on U of T! Will be declining my offer later next week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dentistry001 Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 Waiting for June 1st so people can make decisions before the deposit is due Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DentHopeful44 Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 Hopefully the majority of waitlist invites will go out the day after deposits are due (June 2nd). Movement will probably be slow/minimal after that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BROSCIENTIST Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 Does anyone know if they tell you how far they are down the waitlist if you call in? Still going through the high wait list, but at this rate I'm starting to have doubts that it will clear (fingers crossed!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DentHopeful44 Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 Waitlist invites go out throughout the summer, so it's hard to predict right now. We should have an idea by the end of next week though when there's a surge. I'm hoping this is not a freak year where the waitlist goes less than 15 or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or it could also be how the new admissions staff chooses to do things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winnipeg9416 Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 It may seem like it's not moving, but in last year's thread, only 7 people posted to say they were accepted off the waitlist while 38 people were accepted in total. So the forums may not be an accurate representation of how much the waitlist is actually moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By this time there were only a few people off the waitlist last year who posted and 38 got in from the waitlist, so very few people posted their waitlist offers If there is similar movement, high waitlist should be close to clearing early June. Unless the high waitlist is 30 people lol Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prof.A.DumbleDore Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 This forum is such a small sample size, I would not rely on it too heavily. But you are correct most of the waitlist movement occurs around the deadline of the initial deposit. Try to keep your sanity and stay busy. Keep your mind on other things and enjoy the summer. I know its easier said than done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
