pixie094 Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 I spoke to admissions again today, for an unrelated reason to my call with them on Thursday. Without me inquiring about it, the lady on the phone mentioned that some invites will be sent out until the end of this week, with some files held on to in case of cancellations. This sparked some follow up questions on my end. When I asked her when we can expect to receive notice, she said most likely closer to the end of the week. So maybe we'll hear back on Thirsday or Friday? I'm expecting invites Thursday, and regrets Friday. I was also told that the ad coms have nearly completed all file reviews with only a few left to review/finish. So I'd expect file reviews to either finish up today or tomorrow, and then we will be informed following that. So with that all being said, it's likely we'll be in limbo for the next couple days, so try to stay positive and good luck everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New_user Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 Wonderful, 9 days to prepare for an interview when the Jan cohort received over 5 weeks. UofT needs to seriously revamp their application process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

northpole15 Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 How did we go from "quite a few" spots left to only "some"....the optimism of late last week has now dwindled. Also not trying to read too much into it but it's quite difficult as the realization of thousands of regrets by the end of this week is overpowering hope.

1994 Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 Not that I condone giving applicants short notice for interviews, but why are people complaining about not having enough time to practice? If you think you are a competitive applicant then 1) you should have other interview(s) you were practicing for which will carry over (MPI has aspects of panel and MMI) or 2) you would have been practicing anyway if you don't have other interviews to prepare for the best case scenario. It isn't the school's fault that you aren't willing to prepare ahead of time. This should really only inconvenience those who have to make extensive travel arrangements.

I've been floored at how many people are upset by Toronto's applicant review process. I'm more than happy to wait a little extra if I know that my application is being evaluated in a rigorous process that is essentially giving everyone an equitable chance.

I'm more than happy to wait a little extra if I know that my application is being evaluated in a rigorous process that is essentially giving everyone an equitable chance. I agree, would prefer a full assessment with longer wait time. Especially since I'm a PhD with a longer application package and non-quantifiable experiences.

macd Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 It's a little annoying as someone who lives across the country. I briefly looked at the flights available that weekend, and they are in the range of $700-800 currently. They will also likely go up by the end of the week. I just have a hard time comprehending how so many people still haven't heard just over a week before the interviews. If this was the amount of time that it takes them to review applications, then I think they should be making the application date earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leaguer9 Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 I also received my rejection letter via email. Only applied to UBC and Toronto - rejected at both places. Just sent my deposit to a US school - really wanted to go back home for med school, but I guess it's not happening. Good luck everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
