Well, at least they posted when applications are open for Columbia Lake village north for graduate students. It's May 10th at 9:00 am.

Didn't they say at the interview that CLV won't be open to Optometry students? It's technically an undergraduate program. Might want to look into that, thought I'd give a heads up
 
BTW, (first year optom here), the CLV North thing was resolved. Although they were going to put Optometry Students in the lesser desired CLV South, they fought Housing about it and are allowed to go back. So you guys will still be able to live there now.

Thanks for confirming this! This is what I had heard.
 
Well... When considering the past I guess the next plausible day would be Thursday. Hopefully we'll hear something before then because I'm at the point of being more annoyed than excited and anxious
 
I called, and they said that they'll be out at the end of March. I asked if they had a clearer idea and they said "end of March." Don't bother calling, they'll say the same thing and she sounded a bit annoyed =P

Thanks for letting us know! For now I guess we just wait in agony...

I would be so mad if they did that. They've already made us wait long enough. Personally, I don't really understand why it takes them this long to even make a decision. It's not like they're picking from that many applicants.
 
I called and they said the same thing! A bit cranky with their response. Some of us need to let their university know soon if we are planning to graduate with a 3 year degree! Please let us know today!

what school do you go to?
 
Best of luck to all applicants! The fact that you made it to the interview stage is very impressive, so regardless of the result, you should all be very proud of yourselves. In the meantime, to ease the stress, the class of 2019 produced this video this year: . Sending good vibes and hoping for good news all around! 🙂
 
Starting to look like we might have to spend all of Easter explaining to family that we still haven't heard...

I don't get it. Why our year? .... Previous years have heard by St Patrick's day..

Let's just pretend that we're all so great that they couldn't decide........ This wait is pure AGONY.
 
Admissions, you are so cruel to make us wait so long! What is so different this year? Are you admitting 100 students this year?
 
Is tomorrow a holiday in Ontario? Maybe it will be tomorrow...
 
Does anyone know if their admissions office would be open on Monday? I know it's Easter Monday, but there's school that day...
 
Wtf this is actually ridiculous...I'm very irritated now (maybe because I've spent the last month waking up at 6AM to check quest everyday for nothing)
 
Since Monday is easter Monday does that mean they are literally coming out on the 31st....

Just called the office and they said around 1PM today might not be a bad time to check! Fingers crossed!
