Gunners Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Just got my rejection e-mail from Mac PT. Does anyone know if there will be a second round of interview invites? And when they would come out? Or is it safe to lose all hope now... I read on another thread that last year someone got an interview rejection letter and then a week later got an interview invite so it's safe to say they do another round. I got mine this morning as well, there was some hope though, they did say " we can't offer you an interview at this time." so head up, if you're near the cutoff you might have a good shot at making second round.

choman99 Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Just got my rejection e-mail from Mac PT. Does anyone know if there will be a second round of interview invites? And when they would come out? Or is it safe to lose all hope now... I got my rejection letter too. From the forums it seems like a bunch of people got invites below 3.85. The lowest I have seen is a 3.82 and someone else said they sent out invites up to 3.82. I guess if you are close to 3.82, you might have a chance after people decline interviews or do not respond. I believe the final date to reply by is April 15th. I am guessing at or a bit after this date, they may send out some more invitations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booden86 Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 I spoke with Pamela this morning, she said that the cutoff is now 3.82 but there is a delay sending invites because of conflicting times with the UofT CAP. She assured me I would receive an interview but it may not come until the15th. This is only because they can not give me a time that doesn't conflict with UofT. I have not received a rejection letter as of yet. People with GPAs close to 3.82 could still potentially receive an invitation close to the deadline to RSVP.

pt2015applicant23 Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Does anyone know when the first set of interview invites had to respond by for UofA? Or when the second set of interview invites will be sent out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLZPT2015 Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Any idea how many people got invited for the interview? And of those people that got asked, how many or out of province and how many are in province? so far i have found out that about 300 people get invited for the interview for mac, BUT i am not sure if there is a select number of seats reserved for In province and select reserved for Out of Province. I have also found out that only 15% of the seats for University of Alberta is reserved for out of province. there are 600 people that apply but I have no idea how many people get invited for the interview. But of those 600 people,110 people get accepted. For toronto, 350 people get invited for the CAP and roughly 90 people get offered a seat. I am not sure how many seats are reserved for Out of province and how many are reserved for in province. If anyone can shed further light, it would be greatly appreciated!

FuturePT216 Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Got my rejection from Mac PT as well. The email said that the GPA cutoff is "approximately 3.85." Good luck everyone! Hope you receive an invite in the second round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PTapplic Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 203 applicants are being interviewed at U of A - info straight from Gillian! 203 total!? So that means over half of the interviewees get accepted? Or is it 203 in province individuals? Or 203 OOP individuals? Any more info would be greatly appreciated!

PLZPT2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 Including both in province (IP) and oop i would assume its 203 interviewed and 110 accepted. From there I would imagine that 15% of the people that received an interview and 15% of 110 seats is OOP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a little update, (re-edited the above statement i bit) Main thing I wanted to change was McMaster has no select number of seats reserved for OOP or IP. Pamela just messaged me saying, "if all 300 interview spots are filled by OOP then that is how it will be." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nancysixx Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 I finally got an interview for Mac PT too. My sGPA is at 3.81. Pamela told me she has no more interview spots that would not conflict with the uoft CAP exam, so originally I did not receive an interview and gave me the option to choose between Mac and UofT. Then I contacted UofT explaining to them my situation, so they scheduled me for an earlier sitting. So after several weeks of worrying, eveything worked out . Good luck to all who have interviews/CAPs this weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pt2015applicant23 Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 PT - Does anyone know how many OOP UofA is interviewing, and how many they typically accept? I know they say "minimum 15% OOP" of the 110 they accept, but I was wondering if they usually accept more then the 15% or not? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeelingHopeful Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 Has anyone received an email from U of A containing more information about the MMI? apparently they're supposed to send an email talking more about it, but I haven't received anything yet!

FuturePT216 Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 How is everyone feeling after completing the MMI? Had my Mac MMI on Friday and I don't think it went very well unfortunately . It was my first MMI ever, so it definitely took me a bit by surprise, even after speaking to a lot of people, but I think it's really a personal experience that you just need ot go through once to really understand. So we'll see what happens on May 15th! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PLZPT2015 Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 I think it went better than last year for me. I felt a lot better with my answers. Hopefully it was what they were looking for. I think the written portion was my weakest point by far. I feel the same about the written. For the first two minutes I was contemplating what I was going to write and after I was just about finished one question i get the two minute warning and haven't even started the second. At least now I will be more prepared for next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cashmere Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 I wonder if it's weighted the same as one of the stations. Last year the written portion went horribly for me also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
