https://www.dentistry.utoronto.ca/node/1116 I was wrong! This says "By early January each year, shortlisted applicants to the DDS program will be invited for an interview and a tour of the Faculty of Dentistry, via e-mail based on their potential as shown by their academic achievement, DAT scores, CASPer test scores and essays." A few weeks ago it only said "as shown by their academic achievement and DAT scores," but it looks like they updated it! -
yeah. I think best bet is tomorrow, or friday, and at latest by 28th. -
wouldnt it be a waste of time to find out after interview the applicant's essay / personal statement is full of red flags?

I'm pretty sure they only looked at GPA/DAT scores for interview invites, and the rest is only looked at for those they interviewed. That's the impression I got from reading UofT's website.

https://md.utoronto.ca/news/admissions-blog-upgrading-your-gpa Reading from this, if you are a UG applicant, you can use AEE to be qualified for wGPA, if you are not qualified. Not sure how other ways they will check this. but if wGPA doesn't meet the cut off and still not competitive. Chances is slim. My wGPA with U of T would be 3.43... I am a grad applicant, apparently, it is considered as competitive by OMSAS https://www.ouac.on.ca/guide/omsas-toronto/ Does that mean they would be like hmmm... ok, I might give you an interview if your ECs are above average? Also... in my final year of study, I did 6.5 courses and the extra courses that I got above 80s in DID not count towards my transcript XD... and the courses that I took in 3rd year that are in the 70s did... I hope they can see that. -

I was wondering if anyone can shed light on how much the extra points from masters (2 points) or PhD (4 points) actually do for your application? I know grad degree is beneficial in other ways (reference letter, pubs, GPA, etc), but did anyone find they were successful immediately after getting those extra graduate completion points? -
i feel the essay was used preinterview to give people with lower GPAs/DAT a better chance of getting an interview
-
my thoughts. i always thought once you get an interview, the interview is the biggest factor deciding acceptance/rejection

the +1 EM Programs is very competitive. This past cycle there was 114 english speaking spots (including McGill's 18 spots), and 165 applicants from english speaking schools(including McGill). https://www.carms.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/fmem1e_2020.pdf -
doesnt make sense tho. Wouldn't they invite people after they evaluated ur essay/statement + gpa + DAT? I mean, it would be a waste to bring all the people to interview, only to reject them later due to medicore essay/personal statement...

Anyone doing the Life Sci program hoping to get into U of C med program? -

Can you comment on how to be competitive for the 2+1 program? Specifically are rural sites better than urban sites? Are there FM programs that have a good track record for the 2+1 EM? Thanks! -
Yup! You just need to have your degree by the time you matriculate. In your case, they will only include the grades you have by the time application starts (September) to calculate your initial AGPA.
