Guest Waiting Posted February 2, 2002 Report Share Posted February 2, 2002 Has U of T started sending out rejections and interview invites yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest aneliz Posted February 2, 2002 Report Share Posted February 2, 2002 A classmate of mine received a rejection from Toronto last week. His rejection was based totally on his low GPA and low MCAT's and he was expecting it to come. (He knew that he was less than competitive but applied to see what would happen.) Other than his rejection, I haven't heard of anyone else receiving any news either way from Toronto - and there are a bunch of us that applied. I believe that my one friend (who is now in UofT meds) received her interview notification somewhere around mid-Feb for the March interview weekend last year.

Guest James Wong Posted February 10, 2002 Report Share Posted February 10, 2002 many friends of mine have received rejections so far, but no interviews yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JSS02 Posted February 10, 2002 Report Share Posted February 10, 2002 Hey James, Were these rejections based on not meeting the GPA/MCAT cutoffs, or were these people's files completely examined (i.e. essay, letters of reference, etc.)?

Guest Jase133 Posted February 10, 2002 Report Share Posted February 10, 2002 It seems likely that these rejections are based solely on marks and MCATs. U of T states that you need a min of 8 on all sections of the MCATs and min of 3.6 (correct me if I am wrong). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest R Posted February 10, 2002 Report Share Posted February 10, 2002 I actually got an interview invitation on Feb 8th (letter post-marked Feb 7th). I am from GTA. My interview will be on March 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JD Posted February 10, 2002 Report Share Posted February 10, 2002 Hey R, Congrats on the interview. Was it sent by regular mail or Expresspost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest R Posted February 10, 2002 Report Share Posted February 10, 2002 Hi JD, It was sent by regular mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest James Wong Posted February 10, 2002 Report Share Posted February 10, 2002 My friend who got the rejection had about a 3.8X and 30p MCAT (10-10-10) so I don't think he was rejected for those reasons. It may have resulted from an incomplete form??? I really don't know why he was rejected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JD Posted February 10, 2002 Report Share Posted February 10, 2002 If your friend just got it recently, then I guess they've already gone through his app... since it appears they have sent out interviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rejections Posted February 10, 2002 Report Share Posted February 10, 2002 Wow, with those stats and still a rejection. Unless he/she had a terrible essay I can't even begin to understand what they want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest James Wong Posted February 11, 2002 Report Share Posted February 11, 2002 Tell me about it. It MUST have been his application cause his STATS are great. Some times, it really is a crap shoot....as are interviews from what I hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ThugJaan Posted February 12, 2002 Report Share Posted February 12, 2002 Hey, I know of many people last year in the 3.8X GPA range and 33+ MCATS that were not given an interview, even though they had outstanding sketches. There is no 'automatic' interview to UofT (like there is at Queens/Western)...its a waitiing game until the bitter end. Take this with a grain though, since there are many people in our class with stats below those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JBD Posted February 13, 2002 Report Share Posted February 13, 2002 How low can your gpa be in order to get an interview? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest blah Posted February 15, 2002 Report Share Posted February 15, 2002 From very reliable sources, I KNOW that reading of the essays began at UofT only last week, and was in preliminary stages by tuesday (12th of Feb). Any interviews based on them won't be mailed/recieved before the tail-end of Feb or early March. Rejections were probably based on inappropriate/incomplete applications. Good luck to you all.. I am not an applicant yet, but I do empathise with your anticipatory anxiety. Please, check the question I will pose in "general discussion", cuz I'd like to know what the opinion(s) of die-hard UofT applicants are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JSS02 Posted February 15, 2002 Report Share Posted February 15, 2002 OK, but they definitely have interviews on March 1, 2, and 3. When exactly are they going to notify all of those people? Getting a letter (for example) 3 days before isn't all that fair.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mark Posted February 15, 2002 Report Share Posted February 15, 2002 Interviews notifications are typically 3 weeks before, although there was one student who received an interview one week before (but maybe an exception since he was interviewed in June) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest yingw Posted February 16, 2002 Report Share Posted February 16, 2002 Wait a minute...now I'm confused. Does U of T look at your essay BEFORE they give you an interview invite, or after? I'm studying at UBC, and I haven't received anything from U of T yet. Don't know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JSS02 Posted February 16, 2002 Report Share Posted February 16, 2002 Interview invites are made based on your marks (60%) and your non-academic evaluation (40%), which includes your essay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest p Posted February 21, 2002 Report Share Posted February 21, 2002 hey people, I just wanted to let people know that they are still e-mailing people for the march 2-3 weekend. I just got an email today. The attached letter was dated February 20th, 2001. I am a grad student, but I don't think that I was being considered as a grad student as I am not an M.Sc research type.

Guest glenn2006 Posted February 23, 2002 Report Share Posted February 23, 2002 Hey there, Those of you getting these last-second emails from UofT -- did you get an actual paper letter in the mail, too? Or a telephone call? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
