Hi,
Yes, super disappointed. And surprised based on my grades, gpa, tests etc. But I guess it’s a little random. My parents suggested I wait a few weeks until a lot of the admissions decisions are made and then call up and ask where I am on the list and make it clear that I’m interested. They thought that calling right now might be considered a little annoying since it’s their crazy busy season. So I’ll wait until the end of the first week of April or so. I have been told that the waiting lists are realistic and DO move. But the problem is that US schools ask for a deposit by May 1 and waiting list decisions are usually not in by then. I think I would just put my deposit down at another school and lose it if I get into McGill.
