I don't know if this is relevant but this is what my guidance councilor sent to us (gr 12 grads) on Friday May 23, 2008.

"Hello Grads!

I hope that your Prom was a good one...now back to the other stuff.

Starting June 3, the OUAC website will begin posting university programs in Ontario that still have space. You may apply to any of the programs that you qualify for via OUAC simply by changing one of your previous choices. I will remind you again closer to the 3rd of June.

3. OSAP APPLICATIONS

The 2008/2009 OSAP Application is now available. You apply to OSAP online at https://osap.gov.on.ca/eng/eng_osap_main.html

It is important to already know what college/university you are planning to attend in the fall before applying. All OSAP funds flow through the college/university you attend. Apply to OSAP after you have accepted your final college/university offer.

This was lots of information with more to come...Keep checking your e-mail."

If you are put on the waiting list, there is no guarantee for residence.

UWO 2012

You'll still likely get a spot if you apply... if theres 295 already filled and they want to fill 5 people, then those 5 would be in the 5 that would have not been filled already.

asdfasdf, what school are you going to next year?

Bachelor of Management and Organizational Studies (BMOS/AEO) 10'
Richard Ivey School of Business (HBA) 12'

I just finished my second year at Queen's Commerce and thought I would come on here and ease some of your fears. The number one thing for you to do right now is to relax. You've done your work and submitted your applications. Now the ball is in someone else's court. If you think it'll be effective, send a carefully worded letter to whoever you want. I'm not sure if they even take these into consideration but it definitely helps you feel as if you've done all that you can possibly do. I did the same but was accepted off the wait list before they received the letter.

Secondly, don't worry if your extracurriculars don't stack up to the keeners who were president, vice president, executive director or dukes of hazzard scholar. The people who are listing their ECs are probably doing so because they're impressive. A bunch of my friends and I had fairly standard but well executed PSE's and got in. If you're on the waiting list, you've still got a decent chance of being accepted. A lot of these kids who did absolutely everything in high school go on to do absolutely nothing in Queen's Commerce.

The most important thing to realize now is that the waiting list isn't some black hole that sucks up hundreds of students. You're on the list because Queen's thinks you'll be a good fit with the Commerce program; they just need time to see if they have space. So in the interim, accept whichever school you want and be pleased to go there. In the event that you don't end up going to Queen's, university is still an amazing experience anywhere you go. In the event that you do get a call about a spot at Queen's, you'll lose your deposit of a couple hundred dollars but you'll also be a Queen's Commerce Class of 2012 student.

Good luck to everyone. Don't let the waiting get you down. This is your last month of high school. Live it up.

Thank you, niloc66. Good luck on your future endeavors. Peace out

YEAH I'm going there =D See u in july/september.
