Yes they have sent out waitlist offers

There are still 16/62 open seats in all of the classes. So unless people haven’t registered for classes yet, there should still be some waitlist movement.

I got off the waitlist and was accepted to UBC today!

I applied with a 3.91 sub-GPA. You can always take extra classes to boost your GPA. During my undergrad I took a few online classes through Athabasca University and they were all super easy to get an A+ in!

I was accepted to Western and waitlisted at Mac! It’s nice that they actually give you a ranking at McMaster!

@CSD I also thought the Facebook groups were for students who’ve already accepted their offers. I personally will not join a group until I accept an offer, but if joining a group helps someone else make their decision, then that’s okay too

I’m still waiting for my portal to update. Mine still says prescreening, but now there’s an offer response due date that wasn’t there before

I got accepted to the U of A!! Last year I was waitlisted and felt so discouraged. If you don’t get accepted this year, just keep trying and don’t give up!

Hey! Where did you get the stats for UBC? Their website says they get between 120-150 applicants

I was planning to apply to programs in the US this year, but decided not to once I calculated how it expensive it would be as an international student. I agree that thinking about the money is stressful. I know some schools have part time TA positions that can help cut down tuition and there are scholarships for international students too. I personally couldn't imagine spending that much money to attend the master's program in the US, so I will just keep working and applying to Canadian schools until I get accepted.

I’ve collected resources from friends who completed MMIs for med school. I’m also going through practice questions and what I remember from last year and thinking about how I would answer those questions with the knowledge I have now.

Last year I was told I was on the waitlist at the end of March. No they do not send out letters to people on the waitlist once the quota is filled. You are not told how many people are on the waitlist or where you are ranked on the waitlist. All you are told is to “rest assured” that they will contact you if your name rises to the top - this could happen anytime up to September. I didn’t receive a formal rejection until October.

Yes I contacted them. They will start looking at the applications next week and then offers will be sent out by April 15th. They weren't sure about the exact timeline yet, so it could be sooner than that.

My U of A application says complete, but it says the due date is March 10, 2020. Does anyone know what this due date is for? I can't find anything on their website

I was offered an interview with McMaster! I wasn’t expecting an email until March 2nd, so it was a nice surprise
