Where did you hear this? They've already compiled the scores and told you we can call today?

 

Also, I thought I heard from a friend during my interview Sunday that U of T is increasing the class size this year by a couple seats, but I am not sure if this is true or was just a misunderstanding?

A friend of mine whose in 3rd year dentistry told me they could call in the day after their interview to find out about their scores.

 

I'm not too sure about the number of seats!!

[omgplspickme]

has anyone been able to call

[Askmeanything]

last year they didn't release the interview scores until the acceptances were out

i'm assuming they're doing the same thing this year but if anyone calls and finds out, please let us know

[WomboCombo]

Shoutout to a brave soul who does call them about their interview scores.

[sweetcake]

I called them today, they said to call next week to find out. Also the interviews are only worth 15% and there's no increase in class size if anyone's wondering.

thanks! in a previous forum someone stated 60% GPA, 10% DAT so I assumed that interview was worth 30% - but 15% .. much lower then I thought it would be. I'm guessing that DAT is worth much more like 25%?

So they're relying on academics even more now? That's strange considering every other school is moving towards a more holistic approach...

[unkn0wnfutur3]

More holistic approach makes sense and I'd support that.. But maybe they've observed a trend where people barely pass  classes once they get into dentistry? :/

Could it be 60% GPA, 10% DAT, 15% interview, 15% personality test?

 

Side question: would it make sense that pre-interview rank is based on 60/70 (85%) GPA, 10/70 (15%) DAT?

I was told when I phoned admissions that the pre-interview rank was 90% GPA, 5% AA, 5% PAT (so 90% GPA/10% DAT)

[sweetcake]

It's 15% personality test and 15% interview

[sweetcake]

And 60% GPA, 10% DAT

[1629fan]

So that means from pre- to post- interview, GPA goes from 9 times the weight of DAT to 6 times the weight of DAT.

Shouldn't it be proportional?

15% personality test?!--- I should have provided more "correct" answers than honest answers lol

lol wish I took it more seriously... I thought it was just a fun survey I feel like an idiot

[sirsam]

The personality test measure the 5 following qualities, Conscientiousness, Openness, Agreeableness, Neuroticism, and Extraversion

 

Of these qualities, only Conscientiousness is some what correlated with dental school performance. Openness is very weakly correlated with only the third year of dental school. 

 

As a result, I wouldn't worry too much about the test, my guess is that they only look at the Conscientiousness quality to rule out people who perform extremely low in that area. 

[uofthopeful2021]

Has anyone called to ask their ranking? is that something people do or is it frowned upon?
