Waiting Lists

<p>What does it mean? and yes I do know the literal meaning but beyond that....good sign, bad sign, synonym of "status pending"; someone please help me out. :(</p>

<p>I can't take much more of this. </p>

<p>I went from application submitted to status pending and now I'm on a waiting list. It's like uncovering a new circle of hell every time....</p>

<p>wait, you're sitll on the waiting list for the class of 2011 at mcgill? i know that transfer students have it much later, but incoming freshmen should have all their decisions done by now. i was also on the waitlist, but i got off late may. anyways, good luck!</p>

<p>Nah I'm a transfer student. </p>

<p>How long were you on the waiting list?
Was the decision favorable or not?
And most of all....is there a website or something that I can consult to see where I stand on the damn list?</p>

<p>hey... i got on the waiting list too... </p>

<p>what does that mean anyway???</p>

<p>guess I'm not going to mcgill</p>

<p>Don't think like that. I've worked too hard to get into mcgill to give up now.
I just wish I knew Mcgill's waiting list meaning. Some schools only pick 10% from their waiting lists while others take well over 50%. </p>

<p>And those phone operators are about as friendly as a hive of bees tripping acid.</p>

<p>just wondering, where are you trying to transfer from? depending on where you're from, it could have a considerable effect on the result of your transferring.</p>

<p>Transfering from concordia into arts....now answer my questions lol</p>

<p>How long were you on the waiting list?

<p>Call them. My son was in a "status pending" mode forever and it turned out that all McGill needed were his IB scores (which weren't complete yet). He was accepted into both the Faculty of Arts and the Faculty of Science and was only denied entry to The Faculty of Arts and Science as it was full (he didn't want it anyway).
Point is that the waitlist could have come about for something trivial like not receiving your transcript from Concordia.
Call McGill and ask them about your situation.
Good luck to you.</p>
