JohnnyEnglish Posted February 11, 2018 Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 Think there'll be another invitation wave this week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonite Posted February 11, 2018 Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 I think there will be a wave this week, though probably not as big as the one on Friday! My guess would be that they are going to start inviting for March 24/25 this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jr2 Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 I don't know about you guys, but reading the UofT invite stats posted so far makes me feel like a massive loser. There are so many people with AMAZING extracurricular achievements. I mean I feel like a sack of potatoes compared to these people.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How people manage a 4.0 cGPA with amazing ECs and crazy MCAT scores concerns me regarding my own application I thought my stats were great until I saw the thread lololol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, remember that what you see here isn't representative of the numerous candidates that are interviewed, let know who is accepted. There is also a bias towards reporting invites over rejections as well on the forum. As much as we dive into the stats and be analytical about it, try to step back and have some perspective.

EricLeman34 Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 Does anyone know if there are any invites to still go out? I haven't heard back from them yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonite Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 I’d say there are about 50% of the invites still to go since there are still 3 dates that they have not sent out invites for. I predict the next wave is coming out next week so stay tuned! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hartk48 Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 Surprised at how little rejections were posted thus far... I think this week we'll see more rejections than invites (if anything) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pixie094 Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 I honestly wonder if there is an advantage to having your file reviewed in an earlier batch. U of T has stated on numerous occasions that when you receive your interview invite has no correlation to your competitiveness, and that it instead relates to when they got to your file review. In addition, if you haven't heard back yet, its highly likely that the admissions committee has yet to review your file, or are in the process of currently reviewing your file (unless they hold your application in an "interview waitlist" pile). This all being said and known, I feel like it may be easier to score an interview if your application is reviewed in an earlier batch of detailed file reviews. As interview invites are sent out in batches on a weekly/bi-weekly basis, the number of available interview spots decreases. Therefore, would they not have to start being more picky and selective on who they award an interview to in the later batches? Or do they have a certain file review score threshold that they will give an interview to any applicant who meets or exceeds that score? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know you obscessed we collectively are at checking everything regarding our applications - well imagine that personality 10 years from now when you are in charge of the admission system. Second if they find they have more applicants that qualify than expected etc they simply create new interview weekends - this has happened in the past. There is no limit effectively on the number of available interview spots, just a limit on the number of seats for the class at the end. They never become more picky. They are picky enough as it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are picky enough as it is Wasn't even aware that having more weekends was a possibility, thats reassuring! I am also sure they wouldn't lie about their process as they are one of the most transparent in how applications are evaluated, etc. I mean if word ever got out that they were lying about the process, it wouldn't be a good look for U of T, and I don't really see a reason for them to lie.

Yeah it doesn't benefit them in any way. They want the best they can get - that means evaluating everyone and seeing where the chips lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfdes Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 Does anyone know what U of T's policy is for rescheduling? On the off chance I get an interview for the 24th/25th weekend, would they consider rescheduling to the April date if I had a family trip booked? Would like to visit a really old grandparent in March and flights are getting very expensive... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they try to be accommodating; however, they said it is harder for them to reschedule interviews for later dates... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
