Admit!!! so excited to meet everyone. Anyone from Edmonton?
Ps. This is my second time applying. I worked my butt off to improve my oat and interview and it paid off. The extra year it gave me felt really productive to work on self-improvement. So to those that are distraught about their results - it's not the end!
Hello! I got conditionally accepted as well, as I am currently finishing up my 3rd year of science.
I am going to UBC Okanagan but I am from Alberta.
Is everyone waiting for to receive their letter before they are accepting their offer online?
Just a heads up. "You have three weeks from yesterday [to accept offer]." Btw congrats to all who were accepted
Marie Amodeo whose the Administrative Assistant. Not sure if the online one or the signed letter or both. Maybe I should have asked that too lol. Guessing its the online one though.Who did you ask? And did you mean accept by clicking it online or sending the signed letter back?

What was wrong with your OAT the first time around?
What number are you on the waiting list. how do you feel about your spot/ chances of getting accepted?Just received the email with my spot on the waiting list. Now I'm hoping for the best!

Hey guys! So I am #1 on the wait list. I am incredibly nervous but I have been told that they almost always go into the wait list. I am just wondering if anyone is planning on rejecting their offer of admission, would you mind letting me know?! It would take a lot of weight off my shoulders! Thanks a lot, and congratulations to everyone who has already been accepted!
I didn't get it yet but according to Canada Post it takes 2 days within Waterloo, 3 days within Ontario, and four days within Canada so we should be getting it soon if they already sent them out.Anyone get their official letter of admission yet? What does it outline?

My letter says "Successful completion of all current courses and pre-requisite(s) including Graduate courses if applicable and an official transcript that indicates your winter 2015 term grades must be sent to the School of Optometry Admissions Office by June 19, 2015"
and we have to sign, scan and email the letter to make it official
(must accept/deny our offer within 3 weeks of March 19, 2015)
So I'm assuming that they don't have a specific minimum mark they want us to get for Winter 2015 term.
My friend who was offered conditional admittance is declining due to extenuating circumstances. Thought I would let you know!
Hey ODbb! I just read your message from Sunday. THANK YOU for letting me know! That's a huge weight off my shoulders. I have not received notice from the university as of yet but I hope they will be contacting me sooner than later. Thanks again!Congratulations Lionelaj!
can you let us know when they do call you just so we can know when the list is moving?Hey ODbb! I just read your message from Sunday. THANK YOU for letting me know!

And thank you BChu for the congratulations

I will let you know immediately after I am calledcan you let us know when they do call you just so we can know when the list is moving?
Yeafter we send an email with the scanned letter of acceptance, are we expecting an e-mail back from them that they received our response?
no down payment. just signing the letter of acceptance and submitting final transcript is enough to secure the spot. Tuition fees are paid when your acceptance is confirmed and your courses are enrolled.Does anyone know of people who are not accepting the offer for whatever reason? Is there a down payment that needs to be sent to the University to reserve a spot?
The three week period to accept or deny admittance is up and they have not started making wait list calls as of yet. Just thought I'd let everyone know!Does anyone know of people who are not accepting the offer for whatever reason? Is there a down payment that needs to be sent to the University to reserve a spot?
Im not 100% sure, but the phone call is just for immediate notice. They should still send you a physical letter and change your status on QUEST should you miss the phone call.Thanks Lionelaj. I'm second on the waitlist. Does anyone know how it actually works? For instance, what happens if I'm unavailable if they phone?
When I called her to provide my phone number she confirmed that I had voicemail. If you shouldn't be available for the call she should leave a voicemail so you can call her back. Honestly I think she will require you to accaept the offer verbally before sending a letter to you.Thanks Lionelaj. I'm second on the waitlist. Does anyone know how it actually works? For instance, what happens if I'm unavailable if they phone?
No I haven't gotten mine yet, just the admission letter.Have people received their admission packages in the mail (including people on the waitlist)?
Rejected... 86.5% average and 380TS/360AA on OAT and I definitely didn't bomb the interview. I don't even know what to say.
No I haven't gotten mine yet, just the admission letter.
do you have to accept on the spot or how does it work?I was just contacted by the university. Offered and accepted admittance. They have begun calling people off the waitlist! Good luck!
She will just ask if you'd like to attend and then she'll send you a letter of acceptance with instructions on how to formally accept or decline the offer of admission, which I believe is done on quest. This is just what she told me while I was on the phone with her

Hi everyone,
I was wondering if anyone else is nervous for the future of optometry? i have recently read a few concerning things online about the declining need for optometry and I this makes me nervous as I am thinking about pursuing optometry...
Thoughts?
