Congrats man!

[Smithers]

hey I am on the highwait list but I still havent received a call. is the movement okay this year? do I still have a chance?

[DDSER]

Wait until friday-middle of next week. Since the deposit deadline is June 1st, I think most high waitlisters should get good news soon

[timets6]

The FB page has a lot of members. 

Maybe a lot of people have gotten in from waitlist already? 

[Jetstream]

It's still too early to tell, but maybe this year is going to be different and the high waitlist won't clear (even though it was created as a conservative estimate based off of the last several years)

How do you know if you're on the high waitlist?

The majority of people in the group are uppers years and many in the group are going to other schools (whether med or dental)

Maybe Western DDS is really popular this year ..

Hmm, maybe. I only know of one person who has chosen UWO over Uoft. The large majority chose UofT...

Lol, the UofT waitlist hasn't moved much either 

Probably because dentistry is just more popular this year

A lot of things could be happening haha
Not a lot of overlap between med and dental applicants, people holding onto offers as long as possible etc etc. This is why UWO needs to give people their waitlist #s lol

Keep in mind that it's still REALLY early and this forum is a small sample size. This year's threads are somewhat consistent to past years where UWO ended up moving 38 and UofT moved 35 (gradually over the summer, but with a spike just after the deposit for UWO). Dent movement is a lot more spread out than Med admissions, so it can be nerve wracking for dents. I don't think the overall waitlist movement will be hugely different this year compared to the last few years, but who knows!

Don't give up waitlisters and don't forget to check your voicemail (I missed their call yesterday!)

[louloumelon]

I'm going to decline my offer in favour of UofT for personal reasons.

Good luck to all!

[Lamp95]

I also declined an offer recently for UofS! Good luck waitlisters

Hey J1324, just curious why you chose UofS over Western. Are you from Saskatchewan? 

 

Thanks!

Is there anyone else deciding between UWO and UofS? Looking for some insight between choosing both of the schools for a friend!

There could be a logical reason being that Saskatchewan gives generous grants and bursaries, which means spending 20K less a YEAR. Plus the fact that tuition is cheaper already

Actually, the tuition is about the same now when factoring in all the equipment/kit fees, clinic fees and tuition, the difference is not that much since UofS added a program fee of 7000 per year for dental students on top of tuition and clinic/kit fees. Also, they use textbooks moreso than UWO so those costs get added too.
