There was one instance in which someone said their friend was called off the bad waitlist in the French stream, but a commenter said they were good waitlisted on the French stream and they weren't called (a troll on a public forum? how unheard of!). To be honest, getting waitlisted was a struggle to accept at first, considering this was the only school at which I interviewed. However, I've treated it as a rejection, and have begun MCAT studying. Who's with me on this? Wow that is quite some dedicated digging! For morale, a waitlist is an acceptance, only it is conditional on someone else declining their offer. But for practical purposes, I agree it is better to treat it as a rejection and move on. Good luck on your MCAT studying and waitlist movement!

I'm currently studying for the MCAT too, while retaking a prereq course (summer classes are boring, but at least I get to do it from home lol). erythrocyte 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonite Posted May 17, 2018 Report Share Posted May 17, 2018 Does anyone know if they divide the good and bad waitlists by interview score, or is it by ranking? For example is it everyone who got an interview score of 3.5 and 3.0 are given good WL, and less than 3.0 are given bad WL? Or is it something like Applicants ranked 117-300 are good WL and 301-475 bad WL? Just curious. medhopeful7748 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruh Posted May 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 Good luck everyone! I hope we all get in but stay hopeful regardless of what happens. We have all worked so hard and want this so bad. Some of us will see that hard work pay off today and tomorrow. Some of us will see it later one day. whyudodistome and medhopeful7748 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catlady987 Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 Hello everyone. So I was waitlisted as well.. applied to the MSc Nursing program at uOttawa for the fall semester. BScN at uOttawa as well. When I called the admissions department they were unable to provide much details about the waitlist since they didn’t know too much about it. Anyone else in the same situation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
