amichel Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 I would hope that more of the Feb 1/2 invites will go out today or tomorrow, because any later will be ridiculously short notice for people who have to fly in. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amichel Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 I imagine they will for that exact reason. I hope so! I have a midterm on the 31st, which is when I would have to leave if I had an interview, and I just looked up flights and they were $850 (they were 550 last week). I do realize it would be a good problem to have, but still! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These companies realize that your much more likely to buy a trip/flight on your second visit to their site and thus up the price.

When I'm booking a trip though, I often look 5 or so times and they price usually stays consistent. Worth a try though, you are right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hockeynut Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Wow are you serious? I never even thought of trying this -.-" Yup, I don't travel much but when I booked my flights to write the MCAT this summer it made a difference. The travel websites aren't dumb haha Expecting invites to go out later this afternoon again, seems to be the trend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cindylouwho Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 @Evan I guess I thought having no measurable research experience would be a large downside, but of course I'm glad it turned out not to be! Good luck to you Now to stop freaking out about the interview being only 2 weeks away... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pablo_yike Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Anyone else feel like the clumsy kid desperately hoping to get picked by one of the captains during recess softball? Big difference is that I would be just as happy getting picked last as first for an interview (not so much so back during the recess soft ball games).

shematoma Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Just got a March 1 invite, even though they're apparently sending most invites out for Feb 1/2 right now... I think the reason is that I live in California and have to travel, so they do apparently take your geographic location into account when assigning interview dates.

I feel like Kessel waiting to picked up at the all star game...of course, there's no guarantee I get picked, and I'm probably a better person overall than Phil Kessel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hopefulMD12 Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Just got a march invite. Can someone tell me what % of interviewed students get accepted roughly? 4.0 GPA/ 37 mcat btw if anyone was wondering. In province. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can someone tell me what % of interviewed students get accepted roughly? 4.0 GPA/ 37 mcat btw if anyone was wondering. In province. please post in the invites/regrets thread, if you don't mind. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 40-50% of interviewees get accepted.(259 seats+waitlist/550-600 interviewees) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can someone tell me what % of interviewed students get accepted roughly? 4.0 GPA/ 37 mcat btw if anyone was wondering. In province. http://www.md.utoronto.ca/admissions/statistics.htm In 2013 they interviewed 587 people for 259 spots. This means about 44% of those interviews eventually enrolled. My guess is they probably make offers to around 50% of interviewees, as they must have had people who turned them down, but Toronto being at or near the top of most peoples' lists, probably has a very high yield (high percentage of people accepting their offer).

helpme123 Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 March 1 invites already went out?? Based on the thread above...doesn't even seem to be because of geography. Wow..only 3 more waves of invites left then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hopefulMD12 Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Can someone comment a bit on the MPI interview style, except for what was written on the email? Will they be four traditional interviews or like MMIs where we are presented with a scenario and we have to talk about those. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
