Uoft Acceptances Are Out

[colanring]

I believe that IP waitlist and OOP waitlist doesn't affect each other. People on the IP waitlist have to wait the people in the province who are offered the admission to decline theirs. The same thing applied to OOP waitlist as well, at least in my opinion.

I stand corrected on the waiting lists. Just to give you guys a heads up don't rush to go buy a labtop for the "Mandatory" labtop program at U of T. You don't really need it. Or atleast for first year. A lot of my classmates bought new ones and were annoyed at how little they used them in school. Congrats to all who got in and good luck to those on the waiting lists. See you at orientation.

Do they recommend macs or PC laptops?

FYI guys, they accepted more than 30 off the waitlist last year, not 21 (confirmed by a friend who called in).

WRT to the laptop stuff - what about using netbooks?

oo really, thats interesting cuz i actually met the person who was number 22 on the waitlist last year and he said, he finished at number 1 before classes started...

Maybe it's possible that the IP waitlist moved 21 spots and the OOP waitlist moved 9?

Hmm, I don't really think he would be privy to that information, tbh. Sounds like he's just assuming he was the last one cause he got accepted so late.

Nope, the OOP waitlist is not that long.

I remembered that during the day of my interview, one UT first year student mentioned that one guy switched from Western to UT after the first week of class. I guess that's the last one.

According to the lady at the UofT dentistry admission office, there are a total of 45 people on the UofT dentistry waitlist.

It definitely looks like having a grad degree did help a lot. Four people on here, including myself, all got acceptances with having completed or almost completed our masters.

Yes it is! I was OOP waitlisted at #10 last year! (Edit: I was not offered acceptance in 2008-2009 from this position)

Whoops, sorry, I assumed it was the same this year as it was last. I asked specific to IP vs OOP. Did you get in OOP @ #10?

 

Edit: Nvm, saw your post in the other thread =p

Just wondering if there are any bonus points for those who have MD degree before. It seems Masters students are getting lot of benefit but since MD is undergrads degree no benefit for that. And not even going to gain any bonus marks since its not honors.

what made you decide to switch from MD to DDS? That's a pretty big switch, 4 years med before dents, plus 4 years undergrad?...

I don't know about MD, but I got a surprising acceptance from UT dental this week with my honours undergrad BSc in pharmacy degree from '05, even despite my crummy PAT score.

Always liked Dentistry but was pushed by family into Medicine but finally feeling not satisfied so switching.

good for you! hopefully you found what you want. I was originally being pushed to medicine but I insisted that I liked dentistry better.

Is the UofT 2013 Facebook group up yet?

 

Someone took the initiative and put up the facebook group.

Hey,

I'm having trouble finding the facebook group for UFT dentistry 2013.

 

I tried the link above but it didn't work.

[hangma]

The link above works for me though.

I won't join until I get accepted though. I'm currently on waiting list.
