I agree. I actually had a dream last night about seeing a red dinosaur picture on my student application. I asked UWO what was that about and they said that anything red meant a rejection. I was really confused and then I woke up

hahahahahahaha... I believe you ate too much...
Not gonna lie, before the Physiology marks came out, I dreamed I got a 71, just enough to pass it. But the instructor didn't want to show me the mark, so I insisted and found out. Interestingly he wanted to take just 2 percent off to punish me so I would fail. When I woke up and realized the marks weren't posted yet, I didn't know to be happy or to be sad....at least I had passed in the dream...
Mind an throw a lot of tricks in the dreams...

I really hate this waiting game but I am not very hopeful since I am from BC and never saw a BC person get in for the last two years

It would be funny if a couple of admissions committee people singed up and take advantage of "insider info" to make some money here... just kidding.

I wish they considered the fact that some interviewers were nicer and some were stone faced, causing ppl to do worse than they could. That def. affected my performance in my case.
But I highly doubt they'll take that into account!
I guess some ppl were just luckier than other..

but since it's taking them so long, they may consider this?? maybe it's why it's taking them so long??
any thoughts? (maybe from someone that goes to UWO dent school?)

Btw, I think they'll send them out on friday afternoon..

I highly doubt this is taken into consideration. Again, showing why these CDA-style interviews are completely subjective. What I don't understand is why don't dental schools use other means (like CVs or references) to distinguish between applicants... I dunno about you guys, but I've spent over 2000 hours in a dental office. I know what I'm getting myself into, but the ad coms have no interest in this information. Admission to Canadian schools makes no sense to me. Yes, getting good grades shows you will be fine in learning the information.. but if you aren't personable you will have difficulty interacting with patients... So, with that.. I think I'm getting rejected and am so tired of this whole process... good luck everyone
