Guest Champ Posted June 5, 2002 Report Share Posted June 5, 2002 I can confirm that the figure 90% of grad applicants are accepted is incorrect. There are more that 400 graduate applicants, and that being the case, it would mean 360 acceptances!.....there are not enough spots and even with only 200 spots the number is more likely to be around 40% of the admitted class. Graduate applicants are considered sepatarely to get an aggregate score, however, once this has been completed, they are put on the same "final ranking" list as undergrads. Good luck to all... IF you guys have not received your mail yet....there is no hope for me in England.!! champ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest USA Posted June 5, 2002 Report Share Posted June 5, 2002 Has anyone who resides in the states received a letter (acceptance/waitlist/rejection)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JD Posted June 5, 2002 Report Share Posted June 5, 2002 I haven't received my mail for today yet, but judging from the posts so far it's not looking good. However, last year, according to the message board at forums.delphiforums.com/anandmed , there were people in the Toronto area receiving acceptances as late as June 5th, and people in BC and Nova Scotia as late as June 7th, so please don't give up just yet.

Guest mtws Posted June 5, 2002 Report Share Posted June 5, 2002 June 5th mail arrived today (in Ottawa). Nothing from UofT. Very frustrated. I feel like calling but I get the impression that it won't help. They won't give out information over the phone will they? So, sad. M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stargirl Posted June 5, 2002 Report Share Posted June 5, 2002 mtws, i am in ottawa too...no mail for me either...almost ran after the mailman to beat him with my umbrella this morning for not only being LATE but also not bringing me news of ANY kind... but fear not....i just emailed both bill gregg and leslie taylor with regards to the whole "were acceptances mailed out first?" issue....hopefully they will not lie to my face (so to speak, since it IS e-mail)....at this point i don't care either way (well, i do but i just want a freakin answer)....i will post as soon as i hear from them...

Guest PainfullyWaiting Posted June 5, 2002 Report Share Posted June 5, 2002 They definitely did not mail out all the letters on May31. I received my waiting list letter today, and the postmark was from yesterday (June 4). As to whether they mailed out acceptance first and then the rest, I cannot confirm... though judging from the other threads, this seems highly likely.

Guest Asystole Posted June 6, 2002 Report Share Posted June 6, 2002 Do you think that it is possible that all the decisions were not made by the 31st hence the delay? It seems like maybe they sent out acceptances to those who were in for sure (so they wouldn't get annoyed and accept somewhere else, see my rant on another thread) and maybe they still had to make the final call on the borderline candidates using a wheel of fortune or darts or whatever the process entails. I know my hope grows a little more dim which each passing day and I am probably delusional by now from the mental strain but.. Well its a nice thought anyway...I guess a knack for conspiracy cuts both ways. If anyone from U of T admissions is reading this and I'm sure they are not, lets spin that wheel or throw those darts!! I would like to know something before next years application is due. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest natalie Posted June 6, 2002 Report Share Posted June 6, 2002 hi stargirl, the letter from u of t was postmarked june 4th. since i have some time on my hands (i got off work early today), i'll just type out what it said. excuse any typos please! The Faculty of Medicine has now sent offers of admission to some applicants and refusal letters to others. Although we have made offers to all of the positions available in our class it is possible that a number of the students to whom we have offered admission may not accept. We have retained your application for further consideration should such vacancies arise. We do not expect to make any further offers of admission until the third week of June. After that time offers will be made as places become available and this process will continue until our class has been filled. If you have moved please ensure that we have on file your new address and a telephone number (home and/or business) where you may be reached during business hours. Please send this information to us in writing. I know that you are very anxious about the outcome of your application to medical school but at this time we cannot give you any further information about the status of your application. I can assure you that we will convey the final decision on your application as soon as we can. Sincerely, ... Does that sound hopeful at all to you?

Guest stargirl Posted June 6, 2002 Report Share Posted June 6, 2002 hi natalie, got the same letter today...do you think they are waitlisting all of us...it SAYS that they sent refusals to some but I haven't heard of anyone getting an outright refusal as of yet...if there is a real waitlist, do you have any idea how long it is?

Guest meredith Posted June 6, 2002 Report Share Posted June 6, 2002 I am not gonna lie....it makes me feel marginally better that there are two other albertans waiting to hear from U of T...still this waiting is all consuming....I am having trouble concentrating on anything else.
