UofT Interview Invites/Regrets 2020/2021

[lucia 0]

Has anyone received a regret email yet?

Are the people invited for the first interview with the highest priority?
If there is no dropout in the first interview, will there be no second interview opportunity?

There definitely will be further large waves of interview invites to go out, none of the spots for the March dates will have been filled yet. 
 

And aside from MD/PhD applicants who all hear back early, the order that you hear back in for the different MD interview dates doesn’t in any way correlate to your ranking, it’s just the order in which they complete the file reviews (which is random). So plenty of invites left to go around

I've read on other forums that there is an internal GPA cutoff of 3.85 for both undergrad and grad students.... is that true?

I’ve heard this is not true (based on various sources on different forums) but I can’t say for certain. Also with the wGPA changing this year nobody can be certain.

IDK for undergraduate applicants, but 3.7 is considered competitive for graduate applicants. I was on the fence about applying this cycle because of finances and my wGPA is ~3.77. I emailed admissions about doing a second undergrad or taking extra courses to boost my GPA. I was told that 3.7 is considered competitive and I've seen it on the website as well. I don't think they have a reason to lie about that. Now higher is definitely better, but as we've seen, a 4.0 is not a guaranteed in. UofT is pretty holistic and takes everything into consideration

getting more application money rollin in is always a good reason for them to lie about that

Has anyone had issues trying the tech check on vidcruiter? (https://vidcruiter.com/video-interviewing/applicant-support/)

When I click on 'Run Diagnostic Test' the whole screen freezes... kinda freaking out right now!

[sevenless 6]

Good luck to everyone interviewing tomorrow! Hope we all do great 

Also @MMK I had the same problem last week so I think we're fine but fingers crossed?

Out of curiosity anyone know what the pre-interview weighting of GPA is? Does 50% sound accurate?

No, I never got an email from vidcruiter or UofT confirming completion :/ anyone else?

[soosh 4]

My email for the interview link got sent about 30 minutes before my interview but went to my promotions folder, mini freak out until I found it! After the interview I got a confirmation email from the admissions office that went to my main.

I hope so!!

Is this for the MD stream, and do you know if this was publicized anywhere?

I got a confirmation email from UofT (md.admissionsoffice@survey.utoronto.ca) right after I submitted, but none from VidCruiter.

The confirmation email said that "The Admissions Team will only contact those applicants whose answer(s) were not received, or whose recording(s) were not adequate for review, after we have reviewed all the submissions." 

So it seems like they'll contact you if anything went wrong on their end! I would probably email them to double check that they received your videos though..

I emailed vidcruiter and they confirmed that my videos were received properly! Thanks so much
