I know! I thought it would be less stressful over the weekend knowing it wouldn't get updated, but I think it might have been worse!

I was checking waterloo accepted class stats, and waterloo seems to be accepting about 60 girls and 30 guys consistently since 2011. Is this a coincidence or does waterloo preferentially accept female applicants?
 
they said they accept about half the guys and half the girls, and theres just usually more girls who apply!

University of Guelph!
I wonder how many of us are from Ontario. Do they try to balance the number of students from each province?

University of Waterloo. Apparently they don't select based on location at all according to their website.

I was talking to some OD students and they said about 60 students are from Ontario and 30 from other provinces. Since its the only optometry school in Canada (other than Quebec), if they had a pool of applicant from Ontario that are much more competitive than the other provinces, they will still stick by this ratio since they need to make sure certain number of OD student go to different provinces after graduating.

So much diversity! I'm at Laurentian.
Am I the only one who doesn't know any other applicants?
 
I talked to a few of applicants at the interview but I don't know any friends who are applying to this program

I want to code a bot to refresh quest and check the status for me but I don't think the school would like that.

Most likely someone will post within 15 minutes of quest being updated. Also, most years it's updated at 8AM.

Just found out that the OD students have made a 'Waterloo University Optometry Class of 2019' page, so I'm guessing the decision will be out soon!
