LostCause Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 The cutoffs don't seem to guarantee interview this year though That was my point. If the cutoff is 9 10 9 Q then there must be close to 800 people making the cutoff and they only want to interview 500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ab_Med Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 That was my point. If the cutoff is 9 10 9 Q then there must be close to 800 people making the cutoff and they only want to interview 500. All I can say is that those numbers have never been published. Are you getting these numbers from somewhere anecdotally, you are actually not contributing to this form. 525 has been a published value by Queens over the last 5 years. Please do not write information on here that is speculation. That has been half the problem on here today. Good luck guys with the applications.

shikimate Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 You should recheck your data there! Two years ago they interviewed about 800, and from good sources it appears they're going for 480. I believe aKDH posted the 480 number. From what I know she is a respectable member of UofT life sci forums (BIOME and UTHub) so I would say she wouldn't simply pull a number out of the hat and post it here.

champ Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 not trying to stress people out anymore then they already are, but a friend of mine told me one of his friends got an invite email this morning. So cheer up maybe its not all doom and gloom afterall. There could be good reason for queens inaction right now afterall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ab It appears you are the one spreading the misinformation. So before you go lecturing someone else you should check your info. They interviewed close to 800 people the last time it was a Q, 760 to be exact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they just get a single email with an invite, or did they just check their email this AM and see all of the emails at once? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ab_Med Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Okay, well Im not trying to mislead anyone. I just don't think the right thing to do is to go on anecdotal evidence. I think that is a very fair comment. A first year student (when it comes to the admissions process, unless they are on the committee) should not be considered reliable. good luck with the applications guys and keep your heads up!

aKGDH Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 I'm sorry for all the controversy my comment has caused. I happened to ask a friend of mine who has direct communications with the admissions office and I was told that this year they are interviewing 480 people. I will try to verify this number tomorrow.

Otto Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Hey, I received a fourth email from Queens at 4:30 pm on January 27th confirming the confirmation of my interview invitation. Here is what it says before the invite information. Please be advised that this is a second confirmation notice to ensure that you receive this message. Due to technical difficulties we could not confirm that our original message was sent. Otto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
future_doc Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Will you let us know if you receive a 2nd confirmation of reection and a third confirmation of acceptance. Boy, these guys must feel awful but not nearly as badly as the victims they had created. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TarCalion Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 I think a lot of the people who called yesterday afternoon still haven't heard back yet. And a new day begins *sigh*. I called yesterday and haven't heard anything, I'm not sure there is any value in calling again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rburgundy Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Well, seems like it's over. No need for an e-mail to confirm what one can deduce from logic. Good luck to all the interviewees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGB Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Just tried calling the admissions office. Surprise surprise no one picked up. Same voice mail running as yesterday just saying to send them an email if you haven't received anything. I pretty much know its a rejection now...but the matter of courtesy is still important to me and I want some kind of a response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCD Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Well in terms of e-mails it seems like there's no traffic at all, even those who did receive an invitation not many did post that they received the 2nd confirmation, so I wouldn't be quick to assume the worst.
