PopShoppe Posted March 3, 2021 Report Share Posted March 3, 2021 TIME STAMP: 12:49 PM Result: Rejection GPA: 3.63 (cGPA)/ 3.73ish I think (wGPA) MCAT: 518 ECs: Strongest part of my app imo Essays: Felt pretty good, spent a lot of time on them as always, had them reviewed by many. Year: 2 years post-Master's, working in research No getting around GPA. Oh well, counting what blessings I did get this year. Still stings though.

Pumpkin! Posted March 3, 2021 Report Share Posted March 3, 2021 Ok I'm going to do a little experiment for next cycle. I really think the selection process is by luck. I will be applying next year as UofT FACULTY. Will update on what happens...if I am selected for an interview that is. marker_34 and TheToothFairy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WishesAreHorses Posted March 3, 2021 Report Share Posted March 3, 2021 just got my R too cGPA: 3.75 MCAT: 510 (130/126/126/128) EC: long term commitment at a school for disabled kids with physiotherapy experience. No other clinic-related experience. Worked in vaccine research with 3 publications. Also had a spell in asset management with CFA Level 1. 1 scholarship and numerous awards in sports. Former member of an orchestra. I feel my ECs are diverse and decent. Completed 2 years course based masters and currently working in pharma Essays: wrote them in a week, but I still think they are decent. Good luck to everyone still waiting. I just wonder how the few people with GPA lower than 3.85 get to make the cut. Also this is my first year of applying, Do you recommend trying again? Maybe improve my CARS but that would have no impact on my UofT application. silverlinden 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rainy Posted March 3, 2021 Report Share Posted March 3, 2021 On 2/28/2021 at 9:52 AM, shiron said: I just finished the tech test and wanted to clarify something. For the 3 minutes allotted for reading and thinking about the question, are we allowed to have a pen and paper and jot down notes of what I might want to say? Also, even though I didn't click on the 'start recording' button, can they still see us during those 3 minutes? I was wondering about the same thing: 1. Are we allowed to write notes during 3 min 2. May be a stupid question but just want to confirm that time on invite is EST? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unacafeteria Posted March 4, 2021 Report Share Posted March 4, 2021 Just got an R this morning have been feeling so heartbroken, this is my 3rd time applying and I really had hope this year but sadly things did not work out for me WGPA was 3.8, maybe 3.85? EC’s were my strong suit with lots of extra curricula’s and leadership position in undergrad, grad school such as varsity sports teams, being president of clubs, being a part of the student union, having my own small business etc. I also had and a ton of research experience, locally and nationally. Completed a course based masters and had 3 publications. I worked on my essays pretty hard and felt good about those too. MCAT was 515, all sections were 125+, I also have professional experience now as I’ve been working for the past year. wishing everyone who got interviews or who are about to get interviews this cycle the best of luck! ❤️ Proud of you guys ❤️ BuzzyBee, jgdiff, barromac and 8 others 2 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LMITC Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 Saw somewhere else that people received invite around 9:45ish. Anybody else? Or is that a troll? Edit: doesn't sound like troll since I see more coming up receiving about 20 min ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RD2MD Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 Just got one and honestly was not expecting this with my very mediocre (almost non-existent) research experience! TIME STAMP: 9:40 am EST Result: Invite!! (MD) GPA: 3.97 cGPA (not eligible for wGPA because I took some years with less than a full course load) MCAT: 523 (130/131/130/132) ECs: Registered Dietitian (5 years) and dietetic internship (1 year), several clubs and volunteering <100 hours each, some summer jobs in retail and restaurants, 1 year of research but study was unpublished, and several academic awards. Essays: Felt really good about the BPEs. I actually really enjoyed the prompts and had a lot of experiences and ideas to talk about. I didn't feel as good about my ABS essays and at least one was definitely on the weaker side. Year: Graduated and working Congrats to everyone else!!

shrek4life Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 Is there a trend where invites come out in the morning and regrets come out after 12 PM? because I haven't heard back yet so I'm just assuming it's gonna be an R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
