PRR Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 They will be prepping for this weekend's interviews today, right? So maybe that will take them away from processing rejections/invitations a bit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Law Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 I'm so sorry to hear of so many fantastic people getting rejected. I really was rooting hard for all of you guys, try not to lose the passion and motivation because of this brutal admissions process. Keep your eye on the prize and find a way to get to it. Even though it is disheartening, you will appreciate it so much more when you DO get in with all this perseverance. Also, good luck to those who got invites! You have your chance to shine now, hope you guys knock 'em dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have your chance to shine now, hope you guys knock 'em dead. I need to echo this. Perseverance pays off. I was rejected across the board last year and managed to snag an interview this year. Anything is possible if you keep trying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

placenta Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 A friend of mine in UofT med told me that her research supervisor received a new batch yesterday. So guys, things are moving and let's not lose hope yet (but at the same time, be realistic as well) Have a fantastic weekend everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLO Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 A friend of mine in UofT med told me that her research supervisor received a new batch yesterday. So guys, things are moving and let's not lose hope yet (but at the same time, be realistic as well)Have a fantastic weekend everyone! hmmmmmmm this is really interesting. I have a theory. Maybe each reviewer can only choose about 2-3 people to interview out of their batch. This would explain the finite amount of people invited, as well as the apparent ongoingness of the process.

Guest Juicy.Fruit Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 hmmmmmmm this is really interesting. I have a theory. Maybe each reviewer can only choose about 2-3 people to interview out of their batch. This would explain the finite amount of people invited, as well as the apparent ongoingness of the process. This means our files are reviewed by multiple reviewers on an ongoing basis? Then what do they mean by so-called "big review days" / "batches"??? But the process of batches going around between reviewers makes sense since we know getting an interview early doesn't necessarily mean you have a better chance. Maybe it just means that you were "selected" by a reviewer before the rest of us. To add to this, perhaps you get a rejection once your file receives a "no" from 3 reviewers, for example.

kickserve Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Admissions office did not send out invites/regrets on the Monday after their last interview weekend, so they are likely not sending out today. Take a day off, everybody!! (Seeing how my predictions are always wrong, they might in fact send out today) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
