Thanks I believe it's 60% gpa, 10% dat, 30% interview based on what I've been reading on the forum.. not sure how/if the personality test is factored into that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I have a feeling this year the formula could change because they also changed the interview to an MMI, but that’s just a guess on my part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Can't say specifics but none of the above posts about the breakdown are correct. This cycle forward, the selection criteria will not be what was proposed previously.

Interesting that they're putting equal weighting on personality test as interview, I assumed that the test was simply used as a filter... good to know.

WomboCombo Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 I mean to say that the changes should be effective this cycle and beyond. So what you think is the breakdown is not the breakdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ME-DENTIST Posted February 17, 2018 Report Share Posted February 17, 2018 Assuming that we all have extremely similar GAP & DAT scores and our personalities are nice, our future is basically decided on 3 interview questions. My 1st one was really weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe about 180 people interview and the class size is 96, however I think they accept 130ish people depending on how much the waitlist moves. If you go to the u of t interview thread someone posted a more detailed answer to this question if your interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ysoNaCly Posted February 17, 2018 Report Share Posted February 17, 2018 Does anyone else think the fact that acceptances are coming out much earlier this year will kind of pressure people to accept their offer and pay the deposit before they have time to hear back from other schools? So I anticipate the wait list moving a lot less this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason I say that is because it doesn't seem fair to force people into accepting before they hear from anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I'm not sure just how big this deposit is lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neji3 Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 How long does one have to accept if offered a seat in the class? For the interviews it was two weeks; would it be similar for acceptances? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly, the deadline to accept last year for UofT didn't overlap with when Western released their acceptances. I imagine it won't overlap this year again because of how early UofT's interviews were Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ME-DENTIST Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 if you know please post acceptance releases dates for UofT and UWO medicine and UWO dentistry Lots of applicants for medicine also apply to dental schools just in case and then drop their dental school acceptance so this is important to those really dedicated only to dental schools as well as to those who were accepted in US and now have to make deposit payments.
