I received an acceptance from uOttawa this morning, however I am on the waitlist for McGill, Toronto and Western. Does anyone know if I accept my offer from uOttawa that I can refuse later in the summer and accept somewhere else if I get off the waitlist?

Im finishing up my bachelors in Health Sciences with an overall GPA of 3.75 and a sub-GPA of 3.96 according to ORPAS. My Casper score was in the 4th quartile. My volunteer experiences are not the best since I started most of them only in the beginning of 2021. However, although I haven't done them for long, I do have some various experience in the SLP field: Shadow an SLP in her private practice with kids Did a little bit of research for an SLP for her personal research interests Help create therapy material for kids with various speech disorders for an SLP clinic Some of my other volunteer experiences are: Literacy tutor for children with various disabilities and apraxia After school program volunteer for francophone kids Dementia respite Other than the small projects I did with an SLP for her own research interests, I have no other research experience. I also do have some work experience in various medical clinics and hospital settings but nothing too impressive. I was promoted to a more impressive position for my job at the children's hospital but this was after I submitted my application. I did do a co-op program a few years back at the hospital where I worked daily helping patients and was basically a nurse assistant but this was back in high school so I doubt it made an impact. I heard someone said that McGill is still sending out answers next week so dont be too discouraged!

Hi everyone! I received an email saying that I was put on a waitlist for McGill today and they said I have to confirm through uApply if I want to stay on the waitlist. However on the portal it says that my application is still under review and there seems to be no option to choose to stay on the waitlist. Is anyone else experiencing this too?
