jawn_doe Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Invite came in today. Very surprised. Just confirming that it is just a 2 on 1 interview or two 1-on-1 interviews? Also, are med classes in downtown, or the Mississauga campus as mentioned in the email? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atesme Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Those who live further away from Toronto (i.e. Albertans, etc) will usually receive the acceptance news later due to considerations for traveling time, so don't freak out if you don't hear anything this week. Wait I don't get it... shouldn't they invite these people earlier (if possible) to give them more time to prepare for travelling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikki dale Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Alright. I got to get off this thread and do something productive! +1 Congrats to everyone who got an invite so far I'm in the no news batch for now...I hope gmail doesn't screw me over and put something in spam.

The acceptance news doesn't come later. The acceptance news comes at the same time as anyone else but the interview date assigned to them is later.

thatonekid Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Congrats for those who got invites. Try not to stress about not hearing back too much (I know this is easier said than done). Some of you may still have a long wait, and the stress is just going to make you exasperated. ♥ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
repede Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Everyone so far has both a really high GPA and a really high MCAT score (most notably the writing section). Congrats to all so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keepontrying Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 The acceptance news doesn't come later.The acceptance news comes at the same time as anyone else but the interview date assigned to them is later. Last year there were two batches of acceptance if I recall correctly. I was invited near end of Feb as a grad applicant while others heard back in January. I suppose I got the later news because of my grad status, not geographic location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justifyd Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Everyone so far has both a really high GPA and a really high MCAT score (most notably the writing section). Congrats to all so far! Yea..Although, I thought that the MCAT score doesn't actaully count as long as you're over 9/9/9 N? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medhopeful03 Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 yeah i believe you are right! i was under the impression as well that it was just used as a red flag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP2118 Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 yeah i believe you are right! i was under the impression as well that it was just used as a red flag. You're correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Second Daniel Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 yeah i believe you are right! i was under the impression as well that it was just used as a red flag. Based on the posted stats, it then looks like they're working their way from the top on downwards for the gpa ladder. I'm curious as to how far down they will go since last yr's avg gpa was like 3.94 I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dassy Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Also possibly by interview date...everyone seems to have the 19th of Feb. But ya probably from the top down, makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomickitten86 Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Average GPA was 3.94 for undergrad applicants. It was 3.78 for graduate applicants, I believe. The overall average was 3.88-3.89. I got this info from the radio session that was posted about U of T med admissions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lekarza Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Has anyone heard anything today? Do you think they will send out emails at the end of the day like they did yesterday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invincible110 Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 I am surprised grad students are getting invites so early. Last year the big graduate review day was in mid-February... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrsSnrub Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 I've been so calm up to this point and not really stressing, but now that I know that they've started rolling out I'm just a giant ball of stress...just reject me now, stop making me wait!

Comeon Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 You should calm down. It looks like interviews went out for the first weekend (Feb 18-19). There are a total of 9 interview days and 550 projected interviewees. If you do the calculation, that should give about 60 interviewees/day or 120 interviews handed out yesterday (I have not taken into account half-day interviews). If Deborah sends the same number of rejections as last year (1100), you will have 1780 applicants remaining from a pool of 3000 initial applicants. These 1780 applicants have their fingers crossed for a remaining 430 interview spots (430/1780) = ~25% chance of an interview post-first batch of rejections. 1 in 4 of us will receive an interview if we survive the impending Coombs massacre. Sounds pretty good, right? I've been so calm up to this point and not really stressing, but now that I know that they've started rolling out I'm just a giant ball of stress...just reject me now, stop making me wait!

Applemanv3 Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 This post should replace your application essay - observations like this would get you my vote! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comeon Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Just another point - the next free interview weekend is Mar 3/4. This is 2 weeks from the Feb 18/19 weekend (which is probably full). If you project the time onto invitations, the next batch of invites should go out on or around Feb. 7.

Insomnia Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 so did anyone or heard of anyone getting rejection letters? I am a little confused. Some people say they don't send rejections till they review all the files but some people say they already sent out 1100 rejections Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jawn_doe Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Just wondering, does U of T use sort of a rolling admission? The number of interview later will depend on how many they accept on the way...no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
