Just_Another_Kinase Posted May 11, 2021 Report Share Posted May 11, 2021 Result: Accepted to UTSG Timestamp: 9:40 am wGPA/cGPA: 4.00/3.99 MCAT: Above cutoffs ECs: Research heavy + charity club leadership, queer and immigrant services, no clinical volunteering, two letters from PIs, one from charity founder Essays: Felt really good about them, worked on them for ~1 month Interview: Felt good about them coming out of it Year: 4th year undergrad Geography: IP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llandermm Posted May 11, 2021 Report Share Posted May 11, 2021 Result: Rejected Timestamp: 10:02am wGPA/cGPA: 4.0/3.99 MCAT: 514 (131/126/129/128) ECs: Mostly research heavy, some conferences and papers, two long term volunteering commitments, very little other ECs Essays: Spent a couple weeks writing after thinking on the questions for a month-ish (there's no space for this but I think I had really strong references who I have very strong connections with, not sure how much that ended up weighing into the equation) Interview: This was actually my favourite interview, I felt like I connected with the questions and I had a good time- definitely rambled and lacked a coherent argument in 1 of the 4 questions though. I guess this shows that feeling good and having a good time doesn't always accurately reflect the result; but again with asynchronous it's hard to tell Year: 4th Geography: IP Biggest congrats to those accepted and the absolute best of luck for those on the WL! As for everyone else, I strongly believe the best is yet to come Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RD2MD Posted May 11, 2021 Report Share Posted May 11, 2021 Result: Accepted to Mississauga campus (first choice) Timestamp: 10:28 am EST wGPA/cGPA: cGPA 3.97 (didn't qualify for wGPA because I didn't take a full course load every year) MCAT: 523 (130/131/130/132) ECs: Registered health professional for 5 years + 1 year internship, wrote a blog related to my field for 8 years, 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100 hours each, some summer jobs in retail and restaurants, 1 year of research but study was unpublished, and several academic awards.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 Interview: 3 stations felt decent (although I worried I glazed over my personal experiences without really mentioning my skills/learnings from them), and one I thought I bombed by saying the completely wrong thing that made me look unempathetic and by not focusing enough on the main point of the prompt. Year: Graduated and working for several years Geography: IP Congrats to everyone else with acceptances!!! I will most likely be declining this offer to go to Mac, so I hope someone here on the WL gets my spot. anon7625 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myos Posted May 11, 2021 Report Share Posted May 11, 2021 After 5 years, 4 application cycles, 3 MCATs, a 2-year master's degree, and 1 goal, I've finally been accepted!!! To those who didn't get an offer this year, I know your pain and I know what it feels like. It can be hard to keep your head up. If you're willing to listen to my piece of advice, what kept me going was knowing that I was getting closer and closer each year, continuing to improve my application in whatever way I possibly could, continuing to improve my interview skills, rewriting the MCAT in 2020 to improve my CARS score (it was 125 the first two times I wrote it, I raised it to 131 on my third try!), and having a mentality of getting closer, not farther away. I know this may not be helpful for some people who have had interviews previously and then been rejected pre-interview this year, but if you're at the interview stage then you're so close and you ARE good enough to get accepted! My faith in God was extremely important - all these rejections taught me to be patient and trust in the Lord's timing, not my own. It taught me to be humble, not wanting to be a doctor out of selfish ambition but out of a desire to serve others. It taught me perseverance. I hope this was helpful to someone, and believe me, I know - it's a long and arduous process. Please feel free to PM me if you'd like someone to talk with or want to know more. Result: Accepted Timestamp: 9:36am EST wGPA/cGPA: I think my wGPA is 3.99, cGPA is 3.95 MCAT: 131/131/128/129 ECs: Diverse, including multiple experiences in each category (research, employment, volunteering, extracurriculars, awards, etc) - PM for details Essays: Felt fairly good about them, got some people to look them over that I trusted. Each essay went through several revisions. Had unique personal stories for each. Interview: Didn't go that well, at each station I was left feeling like I hadn't fully conveyed my thoughts and wished I had said more and made my points more clearly. I had actually written U of T off as a reject for this year since they rejected me the past two years post-interview and I wasn't sure I felt like I had done any better than previous years. Year: Finished BSc in 2017, MSc in 2019, working at hospitals the past 2 years.

EthicsForBreakfast Posted May 12, 2021 Report Share Posted May 12, 2021 Result: Accepted (St. George Campus) Timestamp: 9:27 EST wGPA/cGPA: 3.95- don't think I was eligible for wGPA. MCAT: 129/128/127/131 (515) ECs: Many ECs, but almost no publications/hard research. Worked at a hospital since graduating high school, presented at ethics conferences, sports, some volunteering early on in undergrad but gotta work to live y'know?

Essays: I let them marinate until the last moment when I just wrote them all through from start to finish. Didn't have much structure but was honest, linked to my life where I could and shared my opinions. Interview: It felt like my worst one because the questions were fairly generic. Didn't feel awful though and felt like I had enough time to discuss what I wanted. Year: MSc. complete Geography: OOP EDIT: Will be declining so best of luck to those on the waitlist asunderxx and gastrogunner12345 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

here4mydaughter Posted May 25, 2021 Report Share Posted May 25, 2021 54 minutes ago, oofers said: anyone know when waitlist would start to move? Toronto over-offers as they know a certain percentage of students will decline their offer. It won't start until 3 to 4 weeks after D-Day and then there might only be 10 WL offers. This is in contrast to a Medical School such as Ottawa where they only offer the spots available. Ottawa's waitlist moves right away and on the english stream around 60 students get WL offers. oofers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasherMD Posted May 25, 2021 Report Share Posted May 25, 2021 4 hours ago, oofers said: anyone know when waitlist would start to move? From previous years' waitlist threads, it seems like the first round of waitlist offers usually happens 15-16 days after D-day (1-2 days after the 2 week deadline to accept or decline initial offers). If that pattern holds true for this year, we should hear back tomorrow or later this week! oofers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
