They said that if they don't send you an email about missing transcripts, then you should be good.

Hey everyone, does anyone know when interview invites are going out? They said sometime in February? Sorry, I know this question has been asked already but I'm wondering if anyone knows when they were sent last year? And just to make sure, interviews are held in March?

[midnight19]

I'm not sure. From what I understand from their website, interviews are held between mid February to March. I assumed we'd get interview invites before mid-February but I don't know if that'll happen.

[Sweetjasmine]

Then can we all inform here if we got an interview so that we figure out they are sending them. Only one person is enough to say to show that they have started of u guys are not comfortable sharing

[Sweetjasmine]

New update!

Interview notices should come till the end of February. Check your emails guys and good luck!!!

[midnight19]

Cool, I'm glad we now know when to expect it!

Good luck everyone

I saw that this morning haha! All my questions were answered from this email haha!

End of February is still a bit vague! If anyone notices that notifications are posted, we can just give each other a heads up on this page

Good luck everyone!!!!!!!!!!

online asynchronous interview

Hi everyone, 

I emailed the admissions office since I was getting a bit worried. I thought they would come out by the end of the month. 

This is what they said: 

"Interviews are still being finalized. Interview invites will likely be sent early next week". 

So they still haven't been sent out to anyone and would most likely come out in early March!

does anyone know what the cGPA for accepted applicants has been the past couple years?

I don't think they calculate GPA. They look at percentage. On the website it says an A- (83%) was the average of applicants who got accepted in the past, but the range is very broad because they also considered the PCAT before, which has been replaced by the CASPer exam this year and beyond.

oh okay makes sense. do you know how they calculate the cumulative average in percentage if you went to a different school?

https://governingcouncil.utoronto.ca/secretariat/policies/grading-practices-policy-university-assessment-and-january-1-2020

they use this grading scale. Depending on if your uni used % or letter grade it translates to a certain percentage and gpa (on 4.0 scale) at UofT.. You can use this calculator: https://www.utsc.utoronto.ca/webapps/aacc-tools/GPA_calculator/index.cgi to figure out what your cGPA/average would be at UofT.
