Guest SoHo Posted January 26, 2003 Report Share Posted January 26, 2003 So would that mean your GPA is also ranked relative to the batch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cheech10 Posted January 26, 2003 Report Share Posted January 26, 2003 I don't know about "ranking" GPA's. The actual evaluation of files remains a mystery. Maybe I'll know more next year when I'm actually involved in it. My specultion follows: They don't need exact precision in the evaluation at this stage, just enough to get down to a reasonable number of interviews. Once ALL the interviews are completed, they may go back and assign individual scores for each section, they may look at it holistically, I don't know. But I don't think any ranking is done until that final stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest premed Posted January 30, 2003 Report Share Posted January 30, 2003 Any idea when interview invites will be sent to regular MD applicants? Good luck, guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest peachy Posted January 30, 2003 Report Share Posted January 30, 2003 My MD/PhD invite says "Your interview for medical school is being arranged for the same weekend. You will be getting a package directly from the Medical Admissions office with complete details in the next few days" ... so I assume the MD invites will be coming very soon? It's already been a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Namgalsip Posted January 31, 2003 Report Share Posted January 31, 2003 I've been lurking around these boards for a very long time, religeously reading each and every post. Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to post and provide a life-line for us doctor wannabe's. I have received my UofT interview invite in the mail yesterday...small envelope..scared me at first. My interview is on Feb. 28th. Will anyone else on this forum be joining me? :lol Nams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ekimike Posted January 31, 2003 Report Share Posted January 31, 2003 Nams, Congratulations! I also received my interview invite last night for February 28th. I have another interview already scheduled for that day, but I think that I should be able to reschedule it. I was also scared by the small envelope...but of course, pleasantly surprised. Good luck, and perhaps we'll run into each other on the 28th. -ekimike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bluesky125 Posted January 31, 2003 Report Share Posted January 31, 2003 Good luck everyone ! Feel free to ask any questions about the interviews or about the city. Yah! I am finally finished all my exams ! So relief! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Valani9 Posted February 1, 2003 Report Share Posted February 1, 2003 Congrats, folks. Are any of you invitees MD only, or are you all MD/PhD? CHeers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest devomcd Posted February 1, 2003 Report Share Posted February 1, 2003 I just received the interview invitation today (Jan 31st---FEW!) I'm MD only and it's scheduled for March 2nd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ekimike Posted February 1, 2003 Report Share Posted February 1, 2003 I received my interview application for Feb. 28th on Thursday evening. I applied to the MD program (not the MD/PhD program). -ekimike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SMP Posted February 1, 2003 Report Share Posted February 1, 2003 Congratulations everyone! Are the invites sent by email? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest peachy Posted February 1, 2003 Report Share Posted February 1, 2003 Snail mail only for me. Biochem10 mentioned that his was by email, though, so maybe they email people from out-of-town? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest doctorfunk Posted February 1, 2003 Report Share Posted February 1, 2003 I checked my mail pile this morning and got the thin-envelope invite. It's dated January 27th, and my interview is on Sun March 2nd. The letter outlines the day's events and requests for you to bring 2 passport photos. You must confirm your attendance asap, otherwise your spot will be offered to another candidate. Good luck to everybody! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BCgirl Posted February 2, 2003 Report Share Posted February 2, 2003 hey guys, has anyone not in ontario received an invite yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Valani9 Posted February 3, 2003 Report Share Posted February 3, 2003 Congrats on those invites. I have a question: Are all of the invites being sent out this year at once? ie. If we don't hear in the next week or so, then does that mean that we didn't get an interview? I ask because: I applied with a course load problem, so I wrote a letter, and was told (unofficially) that I would be granted the weighting system. If my application is processed with the system, then I think (I hope) that I should have a good chance (though I know there are other factors). Basically, if there is any chance that my letter was overlooked, or disregarded, then I want to try to get on that as soon as possible. Any info is welcome. Thanks.

Guest Shahenshah Posted February 3, 2003 Report Share Posted February 3, 2003 valani9--honestly..you are better off clearing something like that directly with UofT since no one really knows how the adcoms process the apps except that they do so in batches..

Guest UWOMED2005 Posted February 3, 2003 Report Share Posted February 3, 2003 In past years, U of T send their interviews out in batches, including some batches in late April/early may. Not sure of this year, but I would expect things would be the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Namgalsip Posted February 3, 2003 Report Share Posted February 3, 2003 Hey Valani9, I also had to write that letter due to a coarse load issue. I assume they have looked at it before offering me an interview but I have no formal indication that they have. Nams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Valani9 Posted February 4, 2003 Report Share Posted February 4, 2003 Thanks, Well - I guess it is likely that they read your letter. So hopefully they read mine as well. I would enquire directly with the school - but I think it's a little early to assume that all invitees have heard. (ie. because invites usually go out over the course of a couple of months). I'll wait a couple of weeks. Thanks for the input. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest soapeck Posted February 7, 2003 Report Share Posted February 7, 2003 hi there, i just discovered this site. i applied to toronto and meet the cutoff but have not heard anything from the school yet. i heard some people already got invites. should i be worried? when will they tell you for sure that you are not invited for the interview? thanks: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sil Posted February 7, 2003 Report Share Posted February 7, 2003 Last year I heard that I was not going to be interviewed in the second week of May. I know the wait sucks, but it is not over yet, last year they sent out interviewinvites in batches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Isolda115 Posted February 7, 2003 Report Share Posted February 7, 2003 Hi guys, this is a wondeful forum and i congratulate the moderators for keeping it so informative. i will share some good piece of news i got yesterday from the admissions office at u of t by phone. the lady said that interview invitations are sent in batches within the next 2 months, so only those invited for the first round would have heard by now. and she also said that MOST LIKELY, ( note: not for sure) rejections have been all sent out last week. Not sure if this means that if we dont hear soon then we have an invitation or what, but it looks like it. question: has anyone received rejections on this forum? please post. good luck to all A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JSS02 Posted February 7, 2003 Report Share Posted February 7, 2003 I think they read the applications in batches, so any rejections received in the next few days would only be for those applications they've evaluated already... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TimmyMax Posted February 7, 2003 Report Share Posted February 7, 2003 Hey all, Just to share what I learned last night talking with Bill Gregg and Leslie Taylor- UT is holding three interview weekends this year- one at the end of February, one in March and one in April, so hopefully last year's late-notification fiasco will be avoided altogether. They are probably going to review the applications in batches like they did last year, so if you haven't heard yet, don't despair- maybe you're in another batch that hasn't been reviewed yet! Best of luck! Timmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
