thatonekid Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Looks like it it indeed. I was one of the lucky ones to receive one! Checked for kicks after reading your post . Best part of all -> U/T pre-interview rejection February 3, 2010. U/T interview invite February 3, 2011. Have worked my butt off for this . Awesome, congrats! I know how you feel about the pre-interview rejection and then working your butt off. But the experience is just going to make your acceptance that much sweeter.

Comeon Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Man, one of us could be the next one on the list. I think there should be a new batch of interviews soon. People who have switched from February were replaced pretty quickly with new candidates. I doubt a new full review was done. Those interviewees were already selected and there probably are not just a few. I would guesstimate at least 50 potential interviewees who have not yet received an interview but their files are sitting in the "send this person an invite when you feel like it" pile. I visited the office the other day and tried throwing a copy of my application in to the pile - maybe I will get two invites? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enmeds Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Does U of T allow date switching or only in cases of clashes with other interviews or very exceptional circumstances? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little_gremlin Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Does U of T allow date switching or only in cases of clashes with other interviews or very exceptional circumstances? They are usually pretty flexible. If you have a good reason, I'm sure it's fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I've been informed that emails for the March 25, 26 & 27 interview dates will be sent in about 2 weeks. So I imagine that the emails for the early March dates will come in the next few days to 1 week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GGGSaint Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Awesome, congrats! I know how you feel about the pre-interview rejection and then working your butt off. But the experience is just going to make your acceptance that much sweeter. Agreed. Fingers crossed for that acceptance like you said! Congrats GGGSaint! BTW is it pure luck at whos applications they asses first? Thanks! It definitely is luck who gets reviewed when (aside from not being late to submit your references)...hope those who haven't heard will hear soon . Congrats man. UT alum!!! Thanks bud! UTSG represent!! That is great news!! Good job Thank you Cerena...the timing of the invite is incredible no doubt. -- Good luck to the rest of you guys applying to U/T who haven't heard!

LupeFiasco Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 Having a smart phone helps with not having to refresh one's e-mail 24/7. It doesn't, however, help with the anxiety caused by receiving pointless e-mails. Anyone seen the new Adam Sandler movie, Just Go With It? EDIT: Never mind; it comes out next week.

little_gremlin Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Hey everyone! Had a little question concerning the formula for acceptance offer. From what I understand, the 60% academic score from pre-interview stays the same, then 20% from ABS LoRs and Essay, and the last 20% is the interview score. I was wondering how much of an impact the interview score had? I.e. can someone ranked in the lower 500s score well on interview and move up enough for acceptance?

neuronix Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 no one really knows. maybe, maybe not... Also, that formula hasn't been verified in years (doesn't mean it's not true). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering how much of an impact the interview score had? I.e. can someone ranked in the lower 500s score well on interview and move up enough for acceptance? Average interview score is 16/20. Most people do well... so pre-interview ranking tends to stay similar. Tons of rejectees/WLers last year (post interview), were people with 3.8-3.85 GPAs. Since, as you mentioned, your non-academic score gets hijacked post-interview, these people are at disadvantage (since their NAQ is probably the better part of their application). What would be more fair is if it were 60/40 pre-interview. Then pre-interview(0.8) + interview score. But as far as we know (what was reported in the past), they don't do this. That being said, everyone who makes it to the interview stage has the potential to be accepted (obviously). Some just have to perform better than others...

neuronix Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 I agree with HBP that this is true....for undergrads... I don't think it's as clear cut with grads. Also, I have my own personal belief that if your interviewers love you, you'll be bumped up regardless of your academic score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patho_Medicus Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 yes, thesis based. graduated. No, not doing a Phd. The wait sucks, I agree...but not much they can do about it. I remember you got an interview last year, what stats did you apply with if you don't mind me asking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
