Guest Plug Dis Posted April 11, 2003 Report Share Posted April 11, 2003 my stats GPA -4.0 academic 21, PAT 17 I haven't heard from UT yet..peed off for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Plug Dis Posted April 11, 2003 Report Share Posted April 11, 2003 Oh by the way dude...sorry to hear about the non acceptance. Keep your head up.....and apply to McGill next year....you'll have a better chance if you are a people person....interview is worth about as much as the GPA and its also a great school. UT focuses almost purely on GPA and people with less than 3.7 very rarely gain acceptance.>: Keep pluggin Plug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest toothy Posted April 12, 2003 Report Share Posted April 12, 2003 hey guys, don't forget there's another dental school in Ontario! And they don't differentiate between in-province and OOPs! Being an accreditation year we are going to make some curriculum changes which will make the course load more balanced and enjoyable! System-B obturation, digital radiography, new student lounge, what more can you ask for?! (this has been an unpaid endorsement for UWO ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mmir Posted April 13, 2003 Report Share Posted April 13, 2003 g.p.a. 3.7 dat academic 21 waitlisted for u of t... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dentwannabe Posted April 13, 2003 Report Share Posted April 13, 2003 Hey toothy, I thought that all of the dental schools in Canada restricted OOP admissions to 10-15%. But UWO looks at all applicants equally? Are they the only school in Canada that does this?Thanks for the info, dentwannabe:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest toothy Posted April 14, 2003 Report Share Posted April 14, 2003 dentwannabe, hmm I don't know if they have changed it, but if you look at this old stats sheet: dentistry.uwo.ca/pages/ab...-stats.pdf at the bottom it says applicants from other provinces have equal access.

Guest dentwannabe Posted April 14, 2003 Report Share Posted April 14, 2003 Hi Toothy, Looks like they may have changed it. If you check out dentistry.uwo.ca/pages/ab...-stats.pdf it doesn't have that comment, and it lists the number of in-province vs. OOP. Anyway, I'll definitely look into it some more if I don't get into U of A this year. dentwannbe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest koft Posted April 14, 2003 Report Share Posted April 14, 2003 Don't be discouraged. I think you still have a good chance to get into UofT, I heard that they went down to high 40s last year. Maybe you should check with the admission office, they can give you a better assessment on your chance. Did you apply to UWO? If so, you still have another crack at it.. Good Luck!

Guest Plug Dis Posted April 14, 2003 Report Share Posted April 14, 2003 At my interview, during the tour I was told that the school would be upgrading the clinic and getting new equipment. I also heard that the curriculum was changing slightly so as to allow a better introduction to clinical dentistry. If I am on crack....simply disregard my comments. Otherwise, did anyone else receive similar information from the tour guides? If you did, what do you remember being told? Peace. Plug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hollenback Posted April 17, 2003 Report Share Posted April 17, 2003 This is to anyone who applied/got rejected to U of T this year. I've noticed that people on this board (PLUG DIS) keep posting that w/o a 3.7 or 4.0 GPA you have no shot at getting into U of T. This is a load of bull. As a CURRENT Student in the DDS program I know that that is not the case. If you were rejected last year and your GPA was high... consider that you didn't interview well. It is very possible. Believe it or not.. the interview matters, and the last thing we need is students who can get high marks and not relate to their patients. So.. the point i'm trying to get across is that non-academic experiences do play a role in admission to U of T... as shocking as that may sound--- esp. after what has been perpetuated on this board. For those of you that have been accepted or are on the waitlist.. good luck... I look forward to meeting you at Orientation. Holla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bio792003 Posted April 17, 2003 Report Share Posted April 17, 2003 So you are saying that non -academic experiences and the way one can relate to their patients play a role in admission to U of T. That is very interesting …. , since Plug Dis is the same person this year as he was last year except that this year he got accepted. My opinion is that the interview is a very subjective process and all it does is to give the admissions committee the opportunity to choose the candidates subjectively. By the way, I hear that the 2006 class at UofT is not the brightest one. Some people barely come to classes. Could it be the interview? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
