[optomhopeful1997]

[MedSynapse]

I hope that it's some time today...my heart can't take much more of this anticipation. I'd just really like a physical copy of the admissions decision 🙁

EVERYONE! ACCEPTANCE LETTERS ARE OUT ON QUEST!

Re-applicant, officially accepted to the class of 2023! Good luck everyone!

 

[science19]

OMG! Seeing the letter just made things official!

 

[eyesoul26]

yay finally!! can't wait to meet you all, i got the best birthday present ever!

 

[futureOD33]

yayyy!!! does anyone know if we are still going to get an email soon with next steps, etc...? are no fees due until august then?

 

[S.Bal]

Has anyone not yet gotten an update? Cause mine still says no decision made yet and I'm wondering if they just forgot about me? I just want to know at this point

 

[eyesoul26]

i would suggest calling them! they still haven't sent any emails which is so weird

 

[GingerSnap6]

There doesn't seem to be any fees or deposits. I have been reading around in their website and the letter to see if there are any deposits due, etc, but it seems that there isn't. To me, it seems that we have to complete my required courses for the term, send the transcript (for those who havn't finished school yet) and the CRC by the deadline.

 

[oatsmeal]

Emails are out! Now it feels official 🙂

 

[ogogod]

Congrats to every applicant that got in! I was placed on the waitlist so hopefully I will be joining you in the fall but just out of curiosity I am wondering if anyone is planning on declining their acceptance?

 

[science19]

Apply now | Waterloo Residences <- was the link I used! I applied for graduate residences (CLV North/South) and in the application it lets you select that you're part of the Optometry program.

 

[OpticalDelusion]

Would anyone know the likelihood on waitlist #5 to be called? And when that might happen?

 

[Organicoats]

Would anyone know the likelihood on waitlist #5 to be called? And when that might happen?

Pretty likely they usually take between 5-10 people from the waitlist but I’m not sure about when

 

[mil123]

Would anyone know the likelihood on waitlist #5 to be called? And when that might happen?

My friend last year was #11 on the waitlist and he got off of it Aug 31 lol

 

[lalalalalalalala4]

Are you #5?! They told me I was #5 lol

Thanks so much! I was searching around there too!

 

[flisally]

When do we have to apply for residence by?

 

[EyeAmTrying]

Are you #5?! They told me I was #5 lol

you guys should probably call and sort that out!

 

[lalalalalalalala4]

you guys should probably call and sort that out!

Yes, I definitely will! 🤣

 

[Spike4]

Anyone know if we can call to monitor if we have moved up on the waitlist? Also, do those accepted have a timeline for when they have to confirm? Also anyone who gets accepted off waitlist please let us know here!

 

[Spike4]

Yes, I definitely will! 🤣

What ended up happening here ??

 

[lalalalalalalala4]

What ended up happening here ??

They confirmed I am #5! Phew.

apparently, they have two weeks to accept. after that, they will go down the waitlist to make their calls. then they can decline anytime before sept. and you could be contacted any time throughout the summer. So i would say call a few days after the two weeks are up and see
