rapoune Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 Seeing as some interviews took place this weekend (Feb 11), perhaps you guys could give some feedback as to what we should expect later on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eise Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 Honestly, my interview was pretty normal. I didnt get any unusual questions (although some of the other interviewees reported they did) and it really flowed like a conversation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurfette Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 So it's one physician/faculty member and one med student? And they have all your info - sketch, essay, transcripts, etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

temp_degoo Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 Are the activities pre/post interview good. Is it easy to leave when you have your interview, or is it setup that certain people leave at certain times dependent on their interviews. Roughly how many people were there? Thanks!

eise Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 i think it depends on the interview day (weekend/weekday) but on the weekends there are prob around 30 interviewees in the morning and maybe 20 in the afternoon (50 total). the activities were so-so. the presentation was hilarious but its before your interview so youll be there regardless. the only thing after your interview is the tour and lunch if you're in the morning. it wasnt so informative (im from toronto) but it was a good opportunity to ask the med students questions. you can leave anytime after your interview. most people did not stick around.

hydes79 Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 Smurfette And they have all your info - sketch, essay, transcripts, etc The short answer to this question is YES. It's an open style interview, which means the interviewers have acesss to everything that you submitted to UofT Meds. But, I am not sure if they have your MCAT scores!

Cutz Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 Did anyone notice the OOP/IP ratio at the interviews? Were the first set of interviews mostly for Toronto locals, or was there substantial representation from OOP as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hydes79 Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 Cutz Were the first set of interviews mostly for Toronto locals I believe that most/if not all the interviewees for Feb 9 and 11 were from Ontario (mostly from Toronto, London Ontario, Kitchener, Waterloo, and Kingston, etc).

Ollie Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 Of course the majority of students will be from Ontario. Just like all the other provinces have restrictions on the number of out of province students. UofT does not restrict the number of out-of-province students admitted. But the first set of interviews is mostly local people. OOP get later interviews to allow for travel arrangements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peachy Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 does that mean that locals who haven't received an interview yet are doomed?No. I know people who lived in Toronto, were interviewed on the final weekend, and were ultimately accepted.
