RichardHammond Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 Yeah there isn't really a recognizable pattern. However, I remember that a bulk of the rejections were sent right at the end in March, which was really painful for those rejected from everywhere else and who were banking on Toronto.

marauder4life Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 Won't they send the rejections out until all invites are out, that means some time in March? From what I remember from last year, invitations were being sent out even after some rejections had been out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will be an ongoing process over the next week. Most of the February invitations will go to local applicants, so don't give up! And remember to check your spam folders."

med-dream Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 True. Hopefully it is also rolling rejections this year. Yeah there isn't really a recognizable pattern.

souljourney234 Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 I was just skimming through the invites thread... so many 3.99-4.0s :S ahh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
med-dream Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 Does 3.99-4.0 mean above 90% GPA if in percentage? I was just skimming through the invites thread... so many 3.99-4.0s :S ahh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmatt1122 Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 I hated UofT rolling invites. I was invited for the last weekend and the wait wasn't fun. Don't psych yourself out. If you haven't been rejected then you've still got a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premed9393 Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 Hi everyone, Does any one if interview invites will be extended to February/March? I am trying to see how long I should expect to wait for... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmorelan Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 Does 3.99-4.0 mean above 90% GPA if in percentage? almost certainly but technically no - you could still have a 3.99 and have just below a 90% average if you have a single say 85 and everything else right at 90% etc. Of course for TO we are dealing likely with wGPA anyway so everything is skewed.

Leon Posted January 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 Congrats to everyone with invites so far! All the interview dates are nicely spaced away from our exams so I hope to meet all of you this year. Last year most rejections were released near the end of the cycle with a few extra invites coming out after for an added interview date. I don't know how it will go this year though, and personally I wouldn't count on any extra dates being necessarily added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmira Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 So from the U of T MD Admissions FB page, I'm assuming "local applicants" refers to those who put down "Toronto" as their Home City in OMSAS? brb changing my personal info on SAM........

Not trying to be pessimistic, but if you are in the local area and you didn't receive an invite yet....does that mean you're likely rejected? I don't know if it's just me that is over analyzing/misinterpreting the FB message? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swell9 Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 While I am usually one of the more pessimistic people around here, I want to clear something up. The point behind their saying that Feb dates will be mostly for local applicants is because they want to give non-local applicants more time to arrange for travel accommodations to Toronto for interviews, hence "mostly local" for Feb. (I read this info somewhere on the U of T site) They are not saying that "most" local applicants will be interviewed in Feb, which would mean that locals that did not receive an interview invite yet might be in bad shape. Careful reading and analysis is important here so don't panic............ yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thsc Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 FYI, I have friends from Toronto who got invites around Mar/Apr last 2 years...so U of T's message doesn't make a lot of sense based on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evans Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 I'm assuming they mean in-province applicants In-province applicants? Or applicants currently studying in Ontario? The latter would make more sense in terms of letting those who know travel plans better a good notice. Also, bad news for those applying for MD/PhD. Called the office. Apparently all initial invites to the program have been sent out. Invites will only be sent out if now if applicants refuse their initial interview offer. I always knew this process would be stressful but actually experiencing this is torture lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
