I have heard that most programs recieved more applications in general. In particular medical schools have. So its likely similar.

I think we are going to find out on the 29th or 30th.... No real justification just a feeling.

OMG I made the exact same prediction haha! I really wish they'd just tell us earlier because the interview part of our application was cut short. Maybe they will take until the end of the month because they actually have to watch and discuss all of our videos for Snapshot?

My wait is over guys!!!! I was accepted into medical school yesterday and already accepted my offer of admission. So regardless of what my decision letter says I will be declining.

Best of luck to all of you. I know the wait seems overwhelming but it can be worth it in the end!

Rejected. I will be reapplying next year.

My stats:
Academics - Average ~ 84% undergraduate, completed MSc
OAT 350 TS , 350 AA
ECs ~1000 hours as an optometric assistant and an ophthalmic technician at a retina specialist (currently still working), graduate research fellowship award ($16,000), NSERC USRA, 3 publications, 1 more publication submitted, research conference presentations, intramural sports, volunteer for MS Society of Canada, Lifeguard and First Aid Certified

I plan on retaking the OAT for a more competitive score. And more volunteering this summer.

Congratulations to everyone!
 
Accepted! Congrats to you all! For those of you on the waiting list, I hope to see you in the Fall too <3
I believe the FB page is created later on but I'm not sure. Would love to join as well!

Does anyone know if Waterloo will send us an email for a criminal background check or will we have to initiate it on our own?

Thanks!

It says further information will be sent separately so I'm assuming we will get an email soon

I believed they haven't started moving the waitlist yet, maybe wait until the end of next week to see how it goes:)

Just an update for those who are on the waitlist, I think Waterloo started calling people from the waitlist today. If you want to know what position you are currently at on the waitlist, free feel to email Waterloo :)
