starsky Posted May 30, 2017 Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 I'm still surprised that there has only been one post from somebody off the wait list. In previous years there were much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I feel that the applicant pool for this cycle shouldn't have changed too drastically from the last cycle..since people w/o pre-reqs still need to write mcat and probably might have taken the essential courses anyway.

PeanutButter1 Posted May 30, 2017 Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 Also you'd think if the pre req change affected the waitlist it would've affected other stats as well like AQ pre interview. Doesn't seem like it did? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starsky Posted May 30, 2017 Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 Its hard to say whether the pre reqs had any role post interview and as the PeanutButter1 mentioned it would affect the stats pre-interview. My speculation is one of the following: 1) A regular amount of people have been given offers and are simply not posting 2) There is a smaller wait list than in previous years - can be explained by the fact that they are giving about 11 days to accept their offer (which is very strange) 3) There is a bigger wave that is coming out after June 8th Here's to hoping for option 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwnerOfTheTARDIS Posted May 31, 2017 Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 Can confirm that at least some offers were sent out - a waitlisted friend got into the NMP site yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingdomcome Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 lurker here and also waitlisted... wanted to add that I know someone who got into ubc with their second choice site but was not offered a spot at their first choice after the acceptance deadline. do you guys think this is just because they already accepted their second choice site? and maybe ubc thinks 2nd choice is acceptable and offered new sites only to those who were originally offered their 3rd or 4th choice? or maybe it has to do with ranking? I also wanted to believe that the majority of the offers were to those already accepted! but because of this I'm worried about how much waitlist movement there really is this year...

Yeah kind of worrisome but I don't think there's any way to predict what's going on, just going to have to wait it seems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starsky Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 What worries me is the fact that the second round of wait list invites is so late this year. In previous cycles, the class was full by mid-June Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fairly certain it has to do with ranking.. they fill up seats by ranking until sites are full. If a spot opens up at their preferred site they again give it by ranking to the next person in line. Accepting a site doesn't change your place on the waitlist and I'm fairly certain there's no priority for 3rd or 4th choice people to get upgraded! If they got their second choice they must've been fairly high in the list but it depends how many people dropped the site they wanted and if it didn't get filled by people ranked higher than them.

starsky Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 So there were 3 people who posted on this forum who have been accepted off of the waitlist so far. I guess there were a handful of invites after all during the first round. Any other waitlisters feeling more and more hopeless? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
