joeblowmed Posted February 10, 2022 Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 Does anyone know the rational for why U of T does their interview invites this way? They are the odd one out in the sense they are the only Ontario school who doesn't just tell everyone at the same time. Prolongs the stress of it all lol. It says online that the order which they are sent out (1st vs 2nd vs 3rd) does not reflect the ranking of applicants. So does this mean, ALL applications have already been reviewed and ranked, or are they still in the process of reviewing applications? Cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

syzygy Posted February 12, 2022 Report Share Posted February 12, 2022 Does no news mean 1) your application is weak and they are still deliberating whether to extend an invite OR 2) they haven’t reviewed your file yet? When can those still waiting expect to receive the last interview invites/refusals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When can those still waiting expect to receive the last interview invites/refusals? basically - so it doesn't really mean anything specific at all. and they will "get around to things" in their usual someone lengthy process (although to be fair in the end the wait time is always exactly the same as the results all come out on the same day in May I suppose). breaking my own rules here ha, I will have to go back and clean out this thread again at some point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

premedpremedpremedpremed Posted February 24, 2022 Report Share Posted February 24, 2022 is it safe to say that if we dont have an interview invite yet were getting R, given they usually all come out at same time?

Yes that is most likely the case. The only reason one would conceivably get an interview after the 3rd wave is sent out is because someone declined their interview Anonanon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
