luvpuppies101 Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 Seems like the remaining grad applicants sort of have priority over any remaining undergrads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthStar Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 Likely means if there aren't enough suitable grad candidates, spots will open for undergrads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
souljaboy Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 I'd think that some undergrads left are actually in the "maybe" group. If the crop of grad students left aren't good enough then these undergrads get the interviews, but the undergrads that received invites before this group likely have a better score.

decentcigars Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 "no more invitations will go out until grad review is finished, as I need to have space available pending the outcome of those assessments. " So what does this mean for the undergrad students still waiting to hear back? It means we dead, brotha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amichel Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 I'm sorry, but there is no benefit (to anyone) to holding on to a large chunk of rejections. It's unnecessarily cruel, when all it takes is likely a mass email. I don't get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starsky Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 Can't believe the number of people who are still waiting. If there are 50-100 people viewing this thread at any given time, my estimate is that there are still hundreds of us out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes it seem like there must closer to 1000 people waiting... Unless all the people who have already heard received emails are just interested in following our fate, haha.

ygella Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 It means we dead, brotha Haha I admire your sense of humour during this difficult time. I was really hoping for a Toronto interview so I'm a little more upset right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthStar Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 Doubt its 1000. Likely higher amount of viewers as UofT is the last to let us know our fate. Thus, people are more inclined to be viewing this page than earlier in the cycle. Also include loved ones as people viewing the thread. I do think there are likely 500 or so candidates still waiting in the dark. Not sure what is causing the delay in rejections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwr2013 Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 Not sure what's the harm in just keeping us more informed. It would really reduce a lot of collective anxiety. Like why don't they update that FB page daily, or at least once a week... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdoc18 Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 I agree, it's ridiculous! I wonder if they'll just stop reviewing applications once they fill those last few interview spots... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numero0121407 Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 Well, they didn't say no more rejections are being sent. They only said no invites until next Monday. There's no reason to think they will not send the rejections before Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockeynut Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 I have a friend who spoke to U of T admissions and I can confirm that there are ~1300 applicants still waiting to hear back! Pretty much what I expected. At this point in the game I think it's fair to say they could send out 1000 rejections and still have plenty of people to fill their last few spots.

LotusFlower Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 So that suggests to me that they haven't been dividing up the review pools evenly. We surmised that if they have ~3500 applicants and 8 interview dates, that means that by now they should only have 438 applications left to review for the last interview date. But instead, there are 1300 applicants left?? So, if you were lucky and your file got reviewed first, then you had a greater probability of getting an interview, because you could have been in a pool with fewer people. Wow. Now I know what all the ranting was about this morning. Transparency is needed here. And I'm not sure how fair this process is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's possible a huge number of the people left were in groups that were reviewed in February or even January, but are so close to the border for an interview that they're hanging on to them until the end just in case.

A friend of mine spoke to U of T Admissions. It is 100% legit. He was told there are ~1300 applicants who have not yet heard anything back from Leslie Taylor.
