Does anyone know what day McMaster will start going through the waitlist? In the email it just says after April 16th. Also does anyone know how they typically contact people when going through the waitlist (call? email? both?).

I know UofT starts going through their waitlist today, does anyone know if this is the same for Western? In the email they told us “late April”, so I’m wondering if that could be today or most likely starting next week.

I’m starting to get so incredibly anxious...

Apparently today is the the last day for Western students to accept or decline their offers. So I believe people should start hearing back by tomorrow or next week.

me too! This wait is daunting

Received a call from Toronto this morning saying I've been accepted off the waitlist! I will be declining their offer to attend U of A (but for some reason I'm still very excited) :)

Thank you!! No I didn't get a chance to ask because I was too excited! If it helps, they told me that the offer will go up on Friday to ORPAS, and then I'll have 5 days to accept the offer on there.

Has anyone who was originally placed on the Dal waitlist been accepted since for the 2019 year? Just curious how long I should keep my hopes up/ if it's been fruitful for anyone! 

I had a friend who was accepted off the waitlist as late as June 5th last year (she declined because she got into U of A) and another friend of mine was accepted off the waitlist two days before classes started two years ago (obviously not ideal and she had already chosen a school abroad by then) so try not to lose hope! But I totally feel your pain especially since their waitlist is so mysterious in terms of size and where one is on it.

Hi, to those who got into UBC, how much research experience did you guys have? And how involved were you in research projects (E.g. did you publish a paper, etc.)? 

Thanks

I had a fairly small role in my research project as a data analyst. We got to present our research at the ASHA convention in LA though, which was an awesome opportunity. I definitely highlighted this in my letter of intent, as well I highlighted how the research we did helped narrow my focus and set goals for future practice.
