Leon Posted January 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 How else are we going to pass time waiting for our invites? May I shamelessly ? Also, some really cool videos to pass the time and add some depth to your day (I like watching these every few weeks): This is Water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame away haha Also, some really cool videos to pass the time and add some depth to your day (I like watching these every few weeks):This is Water Wow, I'd never seen 'This is Water.' I just watched it, and this sounds corny but it's actually making me reconsider a few things. Thanks for sharing it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Brule Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 This gives me some hope as my wGPA is about 3.71. But so far, there is no post that has GPA lower than 3.89. I'm in an odd situation here. My OMSAS GPA for full time work is 3.72, but if you weigh it it's like 3.84. My transcript is kind of weird, but admissions said that they would weigh me based on what I told them over the phone. Still very anxiety inducing, though, since I'm not sure if they'll still not weigh me based on some technicality; I'm a little obsessive. I heard somewhere that grad applicants are normally interviewed later than undergrads, is this true? Our files are quite a bit larger than the undergrad applicants (I filled out all 45 OMSAS entries and my grad CV is like 10 pages ). At very least, I'm giving someone a lot of work to do, which in and of itself feels like an accomplishment Edit: I have another question!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm kind of getting lost in all the chatter -- how many more invite dates have they yet to email for? Have they yet to send out emails for Feb 2?

cindylouwho Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 This is Water Amazing, almost moving, video. Verbalizes well some things that I've slowly come to realize as I've gotten older. Highly recommend watching Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozgrad Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 To all of you who have interviews this weekend and next - I highly HIGHLY recommend you go on the tour to the Mississauga Campus (MAM - Mississauga Academy of Medicine). There's a tour running on January 25th and February 2nd, both at 2 pm. A lot of students choose not to tour MAM, and upon getting into U of T, see MAM and say "If I had seen MAM before choosing my campus preference, I would have chosen MAM". There's lots of perks to being a MAM student - all of which you'll hear on the tour from some fabulous MAM students!! Also a great way to wind down after your interviews! In the event that you get offers from 2 schools (e.g. MAM and another school), it also allows you to make an informed decision! P.S. Informed decision = MAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadan1234 Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Just perusing the boards and noticed the lack (nonexistence) of invites for Feb 2nd. Do you think UofT has eliminated the date? Maybe not enough applications were evaluated to extend the required number of invitations within the short time frame, hence sending out March 1st invites instead? I received an interview today for Feb 2nd, so they are out there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedLily Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Please remember to add time stamps to 'invites' posts- those of us waiting for our invites need them for our calculations and predictive algorithms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futurefamilydoc Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Does anyone know if there is a lunch/random food provided at any point during the day? Including the tour (which I signed up for) the day basically runs from 8am to 5pm so I'd hope we get something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Brule Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Anyone have an idea of how much longer they'll be sending out invites (even a guess)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trojjanhorse Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Anyone have an idea of how much longer they'll be sending out invites (even a guess)? It's really hard to say/guess. They have completely revamped their system/procedure. They will probably keep sending invites until they have filled all the days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockeynut Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Ahh..I've made my conclusion that I won't be getting a UT interview this cycle... It's funny I', coming to the same conclusion (even though it's only January 22nd) Prove me wrong UofT, prove me wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
