Bliss Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 Hey guys, How many more waves of interview invites are we expecting? Does anyone know how many waves of invites were sent out last year? (I heard 4-5 waves.. is that true?) Is it usually late january, mid february, early march, and mid march?

macd Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 Maybe rejections for people who didn't meet the cutoffs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
potatoface Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 Do they usually release rejections all at once or are they rolling too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mckenzie93 Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 Do they usually release rejections all at once or are they rolling too? They are rolling, too. Two years ago, my friends who didn't meet cutoffs were rejected earlier on. I was rejected later on after full file review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omega_212 Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 Maybe rejections for people who didn't meet the cutoffs? I thought about that too and no, apparently the MCAT (presumably GPA as well) was fine in this case and it was an MD applicant not MD/PhD. Its conceivable that the batch that went out last week contained rejections and they just weren't posted here. There weren't that many general MD invited posted so its totally plausible. Also this doesn't amount to much anyway since they screen groups of applicants for review right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was rejected later on after full file review. yeah someone posted here that some rejections went late last year- they review a batch and then give the decisions in my understanding, which is what allows late rejections to be possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futureMD95 Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 Does anyone think invites are still going out for the interviews at the end of Feb? Or would all the spots be filled by now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vendar Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 Does anyone think invites are still going out for the interviews at the end of Feb? Or would all the spots be filled by now? All are filled out. Some people had to be even pushed back to March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmayo25 Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 So do we have any idea when the next batch will be out?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gangliocytoma Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 They are rolling, too. Two years ago, my friends who didn't meet cutoffs were rejected earlier on. I was rejected later on after full file review. Interesting to read this... I haven't met "cut-offs", with my wGPA being a little less than 3.8 and still no reject, but I did write an academic explanations essay, so maybe there is hope for me? lol.

I know that U of T website says that 3.8 is 'competitive'. Can we deduce that this is the cut-off? And is it for wGPA or for GPA before the weighting? Anyone know?

Not all of the people who have not met cutoffs have been rejected yet - I can confirm this from last year when people with below 125 MCAT cutoffs were rejected later on in February/March Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're definitely still in the race...I'm pretty sure the cut-off is 3.6. U of T just recommends that a 3.8 is competitive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And is it for wGPA or for GPA before the weighting? Anyone know? I just don't understand how 3.8 is 'competitive' when their entrance avg GPA is a 3.96. sighs.

RichardDegrasseSagan Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 I just don't understand how 3.8 is 'competitive' when their entrance avg GPA is a 3.96. sighs. Those with high averages possibly also tend to be correlated with research productivity? Which seems to be fairly important for UofT. So it's not necessarily the high average that's required. But the stuff that usually accompanies the high averages. Just speculation on my part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmorelan Posted February 13, 2017 Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 one of the problems with this entire "waves" approach is it is very distracting for everyone. Focusing on current studies (which is critical as you many need those courses in a reapplication) it hard when at any time you can be notified of an invite. Hang in everyone!
