Accepted!!

 

OOP

GPA: 3.94

AA 19 PAT 20

Edit: Graduated

Interview: I really felt like I aced it. I really didn't think I'd stand a chance with my DAT scores, but I prepared months in advance for the interview. I think that helped me present myself with confidence!

 

Just wondering, are you planning on accepting their offer? Nervous waitlister here

Rejected.

GPA: ~3.94
AA 21 PAT 21
Graduated.
Interview: Felt alright. I was able to answer all the questions in a logical manner; hit all the points as well for a few easy questions.

it's my third time applying already. Should I have applied as an IP instead since I've studied in Toronto for 4 years? Where did I go wrong? ...I'm done with all this.

Yes I am for now. But U of A is my first choice, so if i find out later that I am accepted there, I will turn down my U of T offer.

Thanks for letting me know!

Does anyone know how the personality test was incorporated/how much it was worth?  I'm on the waitlist, and jumped about 100 spots from my pre-interview rank but my interview was "around average"...

I believe it was stated that the personality test is worth 15% of your admissions scoring.

When will waitlist start moving?  

[JarvanIV 1]

Initial deposits are due on Apr 17, so I wouldn't expect anything until then. Also IMO, the list will move more once other offers come out (e.g. other dental schools, med schools, etc.), so early May. To emphasize, these are just my assumptions.

This might be a silly question but how is the interview scored? Like i know its out of 35 points but I was only asked 6 questions that I am assuming were 5 points each. Where does the extra 5 points come into play? Thanks!

CDA interviewers look for the 7 competencies.

 

They ask 7 questions in total and give a mark out of 5 for each of the competencies.

The waitlist moved 31 spots last year, they'll tell you that if you call.

Just curious why you are picking U of A over U of T

Not to derail but are the GPA's you guys post cumulative GPA's or worst year dropped, as UofT does?

Good luck to everyone on the wait list

So I sent the confirmation letter in the mail on Monday (the 10th) and I just called UofT today and they still havent received anything. Since Canada Post is closed tomorrow and Monday (for easter), I'm worried that they won't receive my confirmation by April 17th. What should I do?

(For anyone who's worried about sending in their confirmations before April 17, I sent mine in April 4th and got a confirmation on April 7th so it should take a couple of days don't worry)

 

Also if anyone has any questions or wants to talk/connect just hit me up

Hey! I called them with the same concern, and they said that as long as it's post-dated (by Canada Post) before April 17th, it should be good. Also, admissions will be emailing the accepted people who they haven't received their replies/deposits from to ask whether they are still interested in the offer. 

 

So no need to fret (: Just sit tight. Admissions will also email you as soon as they get it in the mail!
