I live at bayfield and the building is not the best (some people in our class have been dealing with insect problems) but the convienance to walk to class in 5 min makes me stay here! When you have class from 830-530 and get breaks in between for 1.5 hours, it’s nice to go home and nap!  Be aware that these units go quickly once med acceptances come out so if you want to get a unit, apply soon!

What kind of insect problems? Like bed bugs or....bit of a clean freak here

Not really bed bugs but cockroaches have been a big issue here. Lighting is also an issue, the apartment isn't very well lit and looks old from the inside. Some units have been renovated but they've been mostly taken for the following year. There are better places to live off campus and for cheaper but nothing will beat the 5 minute walk (you will appreciate it if you choose to stay here!)

I would look into Luxe apartments, more expensive but waay nicer than anything else you will find at a 5 min walk to campus. If anyone has any questions about London or what campus is like feel free to pm me. 

edit: Luxe is very popular though so it might be too late to find a suite.

How is bayfield?

[TryingMyBest]

Hi Everyone, 

Im applying to dental next year and I was wondering if anyone got accepted without research experience on their ABS? 

[FridayTheThirteeth]

does anyone know if there has been any waitlist movement?

[Jonjacob2345]

Anyone know when movement off waitlist may begin?

[Incisor94]

Med results came out so I would expect movement to start over the next 3 weeks.

Any waitlist movement or anyone declining for med school????

[Waves]

I can confirm there's been waitlist movement, but not sure how much so far.

did the person who you know that got off the waitlist have the high waitlist wording in his/her email?

[winner1]

Does anyone know how many people have gotten off the waitlist ? Has someone called and asked the Admissions about that so far ?

I called to ask last week but they won't release any information about waitlist other than that email where they tell you high/normal/low waitlist. only thing they said was that they only make calls during office hours (830 - 430, M-F).

I can confirm the high waitlist is moving. A friend of mine has got off the HWL last week.

Anyone planning on declining for med??

I feel you  honestly they need to tell us how many spots have moved and keep us updated... we're already anxious enough not knowing our WL number

guess we just gotta keep our fingers crossed  so far I believe we've heard of three spots - two (?) have moved off the waitlist and one is declining soon (off of the UofT/UWO waitlist forum)

[bardownbingo]

Is it weird for the waitlist to have moved only 2 or 3 spots by now? Can any dental students comment on when waitlist movement happened in the year that they applied? Was it this slow for you guys too or was there more movement by now?

the early UofT offers resulted in some candidates cancelling their interviews at Schulich (i.e. the candidates that got UofT offers), meaning there is a stronger likelihood that there is less waitlist movement this year because there could be fewer candidates declining Schulich for UofT dental (since some of those accepted at UofT already cancelled their Schulich interview). 

hopefully the schulich administration factored that into consideration for their HWL...

[Zaandrei.]

Seriously doubt that^

They more than likely just use historical statistics... but would be nice for the WL'ed individuals

I think the deposit is due June 1st so I would expect some movement after that. Last year, it moved 3 spots after the deposit deadline and I got in during that time! Although, it does tend to get slow after that.
