phosphoenolpyruvate Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 Are the remaining invites for March/April reserved for students further away from Toronto? Or is there still hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jolteon Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 This wait is killing me too... I feel so neurotic checking this forum and my email every 5 minutes. I would agree that Wednesday or Thursday will be the next wave. Hopefully it's sooner though. Does anyone know if they have started filling sports for the March 24/25 dates yet?

Totally neurotic checking of this forum The only real disadvantage people invited later have is all this energy wasted on stress with the delay. Don't let it impact your current year GPA etc (you may need it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jolteon Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 I spoke with admissions today. Although some of the ad com's answers were a little ambiguous, this is what I was able to get from my conversation: 1. Apparently even if you didn't met cutoffs for moving on to detailed file review, you may have not heard back yet. It's all about when they get to your file. 2. I wasn't able to be told approximately how many invites are still to go out, but I was told that there is still a "considerable amount". So probably still around 40-50% assuming March 24/25 interview invites haven't started going out yet, or have only started going out. 3. Apparently after initial file screening, there is a preliminary file review before they delve deeper into the detailed file review. This preliminary assessment allows the admissions committee to assess the overall competitiveness of applicant pool as a whole (i.e. which applicants will likely be of high competitiveness and which will be of lower competitiveness in reference to the rest of the pool). Then they will do a detailed file review to assess exact competitiveness of the applicants. The preliminary screening allows U of T to be able to send out invites and regrets after detailed file review on a rolling basis (as they review batches) since they know the approximate competitiveness of their applicant pool, and that there are a considerable amount of interview spots to be filled (~600).

I unfortunately did not ask about when the next wave will be. However, if I did, I don't think they would have told me I would assume one is coming anytime between today and Thursday based on stats from invite/regrets threads of previous years. Judging by the 2018 invite/regret thread, no waves have gone out in two weeks. Unless there was one last week and no one posted about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captrex_501stlegion Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 While I do appreciate the fact that by not putting a timeline on the waves they can be thorough and do every applicant justice, what bothers me is the clear rejections not being sent out.

If you have 100% sure someone is not going to full review, or somehow doesn't hit a cut off then I am not really sure why wouldn't let those people off the hook. The stress and possible expense/time for prep could be then redirected to improving the application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
