For example, if you get an offer to your third-choice program, you will also be waitlisted at your first-choice and second-choice programs.Schools will be in touch directly if a seat opens up and they can make you an offer.Waitlist offers will be made based on seat availability, admissions priorities, and admissions methods.You’ll be able to check your place on the waitlist for any school, in real time.You’ll also be able to add yourself to waitlists. However, please note that your best chance of getting an offer to any program is to include it as a choice on your original application.Note: There will be no Round 2 application. The specialized high schools will not have waitlists.
