I hope I'm not alone here, but have any of you registered at other universities, i.e registered for courses and residence? I'm an OOP but I registered already at my second choice because if I wait too long I won't get the residence and electives I wanted if I don't get accepted into Health Sciences.

Also, will we have trouble getting the electives we want if we are accepted into Health Science, since acceptances are so late?

PS Anyone saying they've been accepted are probably lying, considering the twitter page says acceptances aren't being sent out yet. All I know is that if you didn't submit your supplementary app they sent you a rejection letter, happened to my friend.

So OOP students who still haven't got any email are probably rejected?? :(

Nope. Next week, it is.
This wait is actually retarded.
I have no motivation to do anything
and this is always on the back of my mind.

...

I thought some residences were given based on the average you got.

If it's a first come first serve basis at Mac, should I just accept my Mac Life Sci so I can try and get the room I want? Unless by some miracle I get my Health sci offer could I change my decision?

May the forth be with you all! Let's hope it gives us some luck for next week. ;)

I can confirm this as well. I called a few days ago and they told me there is no guarantee for a single room.

OMG. GO TO SCHOLAR'S ELECTIVES. TRUST ME.

I have a couple of friends (amazing people, really) already in it and they have had nothing but positive things to say about it. The center of attraction for the program is that you get automatic research opportunities to work with a professor on a topic that YOU choose. So if you're into research, definitely go for it. To add, I've seen enough people from other programs, that were all highly qualified, clawing their way trying to land internships but miserably failing because no professor really wants to spend the time mentoring an undergraduate student. (They always favor their darn grad students! haha)

I understand that it might be far from home for you, but it has recently been dubbed the most prestigious undergraduate program in Ontario. I called in just to say hello to the program coordinators and I was told that they received over 1,500 completed applications this year for 60 offers (target is 50 but they're expecting some to not take it). If you do the math, that's less than a 4% acceptance rate... oh, and I should also mention that the admissions committee consists of mostly deans that chose YOU!

So honestly, don't be discouraged by Mac Health Sci!!! I know someone who got into Harvard and got rejected by them... LOL that always makes my laugh haha and he was so pissed too. And although Scholar's and Health Sci are two very different programs, (with very very very different application styles), they're now both levelled on the same caliber of prestige and competition.

Also, as you're applying for Health Sci, I presume you're a med hopeful. I currently know of 3 Scholar's Electives students (all studying biomed of course) that have applied to medical school early from third year. They've all gotten interviews, but haven't heard of any final decisions yet -- I think those come out in late May -- but I can keep you posted on whether any of them get in.

Oh, and sorry for this essay of a post... BUT SRSLY, Scholar's sounds like an amaaazing program. Maybe I'll see you there next year?

@need2succeed hey i noticed you got into mcgill biomed in february; i'm still waiting on my mcgill decision. just wondering, are you in IB/ from Ontario?

I got rejected today..I am from BC...
Anyway good luck to you guys!

Now I am only accepted to Mcgill University - Life Sciences.LOL

Hope u guys all get into Mac Healthscie~!!!

@acecanada... UCLA, Berkeley, UPenn... what a beast.
