Confirming that I have not heard back yet, they're just trolls.

additionally, they all just joined the forum yesterday and today.

Hello Class of 2021!! ... Yeah guess what you made it! Take a deep breath and give your self a pat on the back. That OAT score finally paid off. Hope you weren't too upset by the troll posts (we had them as well in the previous year).

Congratulations and welcome to the optom family!!!
We have created a Facebook page to give you guys a chance to meet your fellow classmates, as well as find roommates for the upcoming school year! You should see the link in the email (please do join it! we use it every day of our lives!!!)
Feel free to ask questions, as the entire Orientation committee (current first years) is in this group. Once you arrive to school in September, you will all be assigned a Big Brother/Big Sister who will be more than happy to help guide you through the program.
We are looking forward to meeting all of you in September during the AMAZING orientation week events!

Your Orientation Co-Chairs:
Aman, Renee & Elyse

Did you not get a link in your email? Just curious. If you didn't, I'll post it here but I wanted to limit the number of people who aren't admitted joining the group (we had a bunch last year)

Hi there! The link to the facebook group is not in the acceptance email!
 
Wait-listed :(
Congrats to everyone who got in!
Does anyone know how many people from the contingency list typically get a spot?

Last year we had about 10. We had people get in right up until the last week of August! You will get a call from Marie when you get admitted. Also the waitlist doesn't move until about a month or so (this gives time for the people who are admitted to accept or reject their offers).

did anyone who got an admission letter have their quest updated?
 
Admitted as well!! Congratulations to those who were accepted!! :) Can't wait to see you in the fall!

I'm just wondering, if Quest hasn't been updated, that means we can't "accept" the offer yet, right? How do we access the pdf mentioned in the email? Thanks in advance :)
 
Welcome Class of 2021! We 4th years won't get to meet you guys but congrats to all! And please choose a better name than the Holy Glaucomole. We suggest Unicornea :D

I don't think we can access it until they update our quest status! Hopefully they will sometime this week.
 
When they say conditional offer of acceptance, do they mean that we have to do well in all our current courses this semester as well? Or that we have to just complete them?

Congratulations Class of 2021! Your conditional offer of acceptance means that you must complete any required courses, maintain a relatively high gpa, submit your final transcript, and have the police check done. Best of luck to those of you on the wait list and we will see all of the successful applicants in September. Welcome to the U of W Optom family!
