2hopeful Posted May 8, 2018 Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 So who else is frustrated and scared... being on the waitlist is not a rejection but also not an acceptance lol. So we wait some more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaiderMSc Posted May 8, 2018 Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 Okay so far from the Queen's feed, there are 4 people who were waitlisted by Queen's but accepting another offer (maybe?) and 2 people who were accepted by Queen's but declining for another offer... So that means there are 6 spots for us so far!! lol Queen's does send out rejections today too right?? Does anyone know approximately how many people get rejected first round?

gangliocytoma Posted May 8, 2018 Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 Be patient! I was in the same boat last year... keep your hopes up and make appropriate plans for next year just in case! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InternistInTraining Posted May 8, 2018 Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 Waitlisted second year in a row. although am handling it much better, i just cant get over how confused I am by this whole interview process. My interview went smoothly, 3 of my MMI interviewers felt impressed by what i said (one even complimented my performance). Other 3 were good. Panel was smooth, answers were thoughtful for the most part. Its just so frustrating knowing there is not much i can improve on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMislove Posted May 8, 2018 Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 May 23ish as May 22 is the last day to accept offer. It’ll be a rolling basis of calls for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will also try email if can’t reach by phone. Someone can correct me if I’m wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As time goes on and they're giving one off offers, I think is when they call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it doesn't mean much but this wait just sucks so much. Since the WL moved by 70-90 in previous years, I would assume probably over 100?

IMislove Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 Different numbers for the waitlist have been thrown around, from 150-300. Realy no one knows unless you’re in the admissions committee lol. One can hope it’s not overly huge. One more week! And then either more waiting or finally acceptance. And as raider said, 70-90ish get off the past few years, but they either accept or reject the offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the waitlist was as many as 300 then almost everyone interviewed would be on the waitlist. This is surely not the case as I know many friends who were outright rejected by Queens, so I assume a decent amount of people were rejected (but accepted at other schools, so they must've been qualified in some capacity). Unless its a sampling bias and my friends are just not what Queens are looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree with your sentiment, one would think it wouldn’t be the majority of people interviewed, especially with such a small class size. But I guess we will never know for sure unless part of ADCOM. I’m sorry about your friends though. Queens does seem pretty particular in their selection that’s for sure lol.

Unless its a sampling bias and my friends are just not what Queens are looking for. I guess it depends on how many remove themselves from the waitlist before May 22 for other Ontario schools. If it was 150 and ~50 people removed themselves, almost everyone on the waitlist would get in... but it looks like there are lots of people who don’t get off the waitlist based on these forums (and lots of people who turn down waitlist positions). All this speculation is going to drive me crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InternistInTraining Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 I wanted to add that a good number of people get out right rejected. They just dont usually post about it. Aside from that I also know that they interview about 500. My best guess would be 100 acceptances, 250-300 waitlists, 100-150 rejects. From this you can see why so many people post waitlisted, because up to 60% of interviewees get waitlisted. Keep in mind tho that alot of those waitlisted get accepted elsewhere and remove themselves (and those must be pretty high up the list because they must have done really well at other schools). Best estimate is around 100 get in off the waitlist, 50-100 remove themselves, 100-150 dont get the call and end up waiting for eternity. Which means chances now are around 50%. There you have it, neuroticism at its best. If medicine doesnt work, at least I know I can make a good statistician. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pretomd Posted May 19, 2018 Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 I've declined my offer at Queen's University, which will open up a spot. I wish all of you the best. One way or another, everything will work out; please do not lose sight of that. Best wishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
