dds dreamer Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 So I am not so sure about early release :/ This is where we use the power of the forum to pressure the admissions people to speed it up lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewintersoldier Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 ^ they do have those numbers on the site so I'm assuming they use them some how. But the true process is a mystery and I know that there are students in my class with near cutoff avgs and dat scorers who performed amazingly on the interview and therefore received an acceptance. And on the opposite side of the spectrum students that had high avgs that did not get in. Lastly, admissions release acceptances typically on Fridays after their hours of operation so that all your calls go straight o voicemail and they don't have to deal with the mob of premed101 students ranting :/. I would frantically refresh your email every Friday around 5 pm lol... That's what I did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today being a statutory holiday leaves only next friday or April 17th (as they stated). Fingers crossed it comes out this Friday so I can recover from the news if it is bad in time for the UWO interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hydroxyapatite Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 Last year the interviews for U of T were held on the weekend of March 17/18 I believe, so it was much earlier than this years, so I doubt they would release it early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numero0121407 Posted April 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 What are the odds of getting off the waitinglist, anyone knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dentguy Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 I think it got to around 25 last year. The pain will be in having to wait late into the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrewmrew Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Do you guys think it's better to call or email to ask them for your relative score? I've been a bit nervous to ask until now but I decided to do it. From previous years thread people seemed to have called... but this year some people emailed on this thread. Is calling better/more convenient? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dentguy Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 I think email is fine - gives them time to reply at their leisure - takes about a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya, I just called them 5 mins ago - they are still marking the personality tests. So I guess you're right, April 17 it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dds19 Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Aren't those personality tests marked by computer? I don't think it would take them that long to mark them. I am getting so impatient to find out about the final decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am getting so impatient to find out about the final decisions. I actually asked if they would be ready by the end of this week and they said no because of those tests.

enamelbro Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Are the personality tests even used in the final admissions criteria? Or is it just for research purposes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ottawaliquid Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 I emailed and they told me my score in relation to the average (apparently it was 27) They didn't give me my score just said it was above the average of 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you have stellar GPA and DAT you are most likely IN It seems like a lot of people have average / above average interview scores .... Or I guess it could be that people with below avg. scores are simply not posting their results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 does anyone know what the deadline is for transferring scores to Western from U of T? You have to notify them by April 8 that you want to transfer scores and they're due by the 17th at the latest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enamelbro Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 ^ Thanks! Does anyone know how long it takes for U of T to transfer the scores to Western? (i.e. do they mail it, or do they send it via e-mail?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tryptophan20 Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Can we assume a normal-ish distribution for interview scores? Or do most people get above average interview scores, but there are lower outliers pulling down the mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do most people get above average interview scores, but there are lower outliers pulling down the mean? I would assume that there is a large cluster of people around 25-29, with a few outliers on both the high end and low end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentdentdent Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 Hi everyone, I just wanted to know what my chances are for U of T with the following stats 3rd Year Undergrad GPA: 3.94 DAT: AA - 22, PAT - 21 Interview Relative Score: Average Thanks so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dentguy Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 I think that your stats are very competitive. If it is any consolation, my stats were very similar last year (3rd year) and I didn't even get an interview. Perhaps the 3rd year pool is weaker this year. That being said, I am not sure if they group 3rd years with 3rd years when evaluating (some schools do). Time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dds dreamer Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 I am sorry if I offended anyone :/... I was just trying to point out the biased sample in this forum... lol So true...We should start a thread for acceptance/rejection/waitlist where everyone just posts their stats a priori and then have to edit their posts next friday with the actual decision to try and minimize the bias of only the accepted/waitlisted posting. But I suppose people with better stats will still be more inclined to post and will more likely get in. So bias is unavoidable haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tryptophan20 Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 If there is no separate pool for 3rd years, I'd say your chances are very good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
