Peaceful Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 from twitter, it sounded like she sent out 1100 rejection emails all at once, so it should be over by now. Good luck to the rest of you Yeah I just looked at her Twitter too -1100 refusal emails- wow, that's a lot. I appreciate her disclosing the numbers though.

touchthesky Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 I'm still freaking out...constantly refreshing and then the internet went down so I grabbed my Blackberry to log on to my UTor.

isix Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 I didn't know anything was happening till half an hour ago (you'd think a massive premed scare like this would physically reverberate)...and since I saw this thread, I've been refreshing both this and my gmail every goddamn minute (and this is why students probably did better before laptops and smartphones). Even though I'm in my motor phys class. Even though I should be listening, cuz god only knows, if nobody takes me this year, I'll gave to re-apply...and 4th will matter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

touchthesky Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 my whole week has been a write-off in anticipation of this!! Insanity...I can't believe admissions would cause this much distress...I wish there was an external site to check like for the MCAT. I hate getting e-mails...makes me hate my BlackBerry (unless it's a + e-mail LOL) ditto. might have to head to the apple store tonight to have the "command" and "R" keys replaced on my macbook. this afternoon is now a write-off in terms of productivity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OIC Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 just wanted to throw in that Toronto + Queens rejection day has created a new record for most users online at one time (504) we broke the record that was set during actual admissions last year...

Patho_Medicus Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 OMG!...ARE WE SAFE?...I have been refreshing my outlook for the past 2 hours. Everytime my iphone beeps I lose a heart beat. I am a graduate student, and I didn't get an email. I don't know if this means I was not assessed or not, graduate students are always likely to be shafted later on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right though, grad students are left to mill about a bit longer so this doesn't really mean anything. I've turned my phone on silent and off vibrate, I can't take this anymore It is interesting how we've only got a few posts from those turned down today considering there were 1100...

jmed Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 I'm also a grad student with no e-mail in my inbox or spam folder. Let's look at this with a glass-half-full attitude and be happy that we made it past the first round of refusals. Not getting one of those 1000+ refusals is something worth celebrating! Oh, and my application was rejected at Queen's about an hour ago. With VR 9, I'm really hoping for good news from U of T and Ottawa U! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While this may seem true, say there are 20 who have posted with high mcats and gpas + lots of ECs and research - this certainly can't be a general representation. Also, once mcat is above or equal to 9/9/9 N it does not matter what the score is. People need to only be concerned whether or not cutoffs were met. Don't get anxiety when you see a 14/14/14 T rejected!! Also - is there a greater likelihood for people with high GPAs and mcats to post in this forum? Just trying to relieve some anxiety for people... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just trying to relieve some anxiety for people... Totally true about the MCAT, but the high wGPAs being rejected bit can be worrisome. I think what's most unnerving though is seeing the combination of high GPAs and great ECs being rejected. Makes you wonder if those poor 1100 souls were rejected due to other things (essay, references) or because UofT likes to play eenie-meenie-miney mo (and hearing about UofT's near-random selection process, the latter seems v. likely) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bj89 Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Lets hold hands through the internet and hope not to receive a rejection. May god be on our side. Yes. Let us hold hands in one big circle and sing praises to the Lord while swaying back and forth as we await our fate. Lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stroom Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 I've also not heard anything myself. MCAT 32Q with an 8 in VR. Hmmm no news is good news I suppose? UofT is my last straw for this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
