I was checking waterloo accepted class stats, and waterloo seems to be accepting about 60 girls and 30 guys consistently since 2011. Is this a coincidence or does waterloo preferentially accept female applicants?
I heard the same
The interview invitations came about around 2 pm Waterloo time on a Monday...I'm hoping the admit letters will too...!
Until then... *refreshes quest*
Don't scare me like that!

Not cool!
I'm hoping my original prediction that it'll be the 23rd is correct, haha.
University of Guelph!
I wonder how many of us are from Ontario. Do they try to balance the number of students from each province?

University of Waterloo. Apparently they don't select based on location at all according to their website.
I was talking to some OD students and they said about 60 students are from Ontario and 30 from other provinces. Since its the only optometry school in Canada (other than Quebec), if they had a pool of applicant from Ontario that are much more competitive than the other provinces, they will still stick by this ratio since they need to make sure certain number of OD student go to different provinces after graduating.
University of Calgary!
University of Windsor
Just found out that the OD students have made a 'Waterloo University Optometry Class of 2019' page, so I'm guessing the decision will be out soon!
Where did you find out?

Nope, its more like first letter of your first name, a number and your last name.
For richard sherman, it would be r32sherman.
12th man?
Ugh guys, at this point..accepted or not.. i just want to move on with life...my F5 key is annoyed with me pressing it 23842934829340823 times each day
Haha that killed me.
Well looks like it's not gonna be today...guess my prediction for 23rd seems more and more likely.
I am on the orientation committee for the 2019 class and we made the group on facebook for your class, but has nothing to do who go in and or not. We are just ahead of the game 😉
