Thank you so much!
No problem! I graduated from a BASc at the University of Guelph in June 2019 with a degree in Child Youth and Family studies with a minor in psychology and a focus on youth development. Had an 85% cumulative average. Have 5 years experience in human service (group homes, mental health agencies, summer camps, YMCA daycares, section 23 schools and spent the last year working as a nanny in the UK). Was rejected at Kings and Laurier. Heard about waitlist on March 27 and was accepted April 22.
I was notified via email that I needed to check egas and saw my offer of acceptance and scholarship there. I also received an email a few weeks ago requesting my transcript again (for some reason). I asked about waitlist numbers and rankings but they didn't tell me anything. To my understanding they put a certain amount of qualifying applicants on the waitlist but don't rank them right away (hence why they say they can't release your rank when you hear you've been waitlisted because they don't even know yet). Then once acceptances are sent they use the 3 weeks that accepted students are given to accept their offer to process and rank the remaining waitlist applicants AGAIIN (I had an update on egas that said my application was "in process" since January 31 and then updated to "in process" again April 17..I imagine that's when I was "re-assessed" and when they needed my transcript again). This is what I'm assuming from reading about waitlist processes from schools that don't release ranks, but I could be wrong.
To my knowledge the waitlist is not very long, and now that majority of acceptances were sent I imagine many people are accepting and denying admissions and therefore more waitlist applicants are being accepted.
I hope that was decently helpful....wishing you the best of luck!
