    Will you reject Guelph if you get accepted to UofT later?

    Tbh I'm not entirely sure because with my current situation Guelph actually works better, but at the same time UofT is more focused on Epi which is what I've been interested in from the beginning. So this waiting time has actually made me more confused lol

    But why take long to send out rejections too? 

    You're right, could be in case people change their mind in May/June or for those who get into med school, that's what I've read in previous forums.

    If everyone offered a admission has accepted by their respective deadlines (April 7-9), wouldn't it be easier to just send out rejections to everyone on the "waitlist" ?

    Just got a nice response that they can't tell me when offers will go out but the first round went out in March and they are now into the waitlist.

    So no new information unfortunately.

    Just based on ^ this response they got from UofT , I'm assuming most people have accepted already, since it's also been fairly quiet in terms of admission offers for UofT Epi on this forum since the April 7-9 deadline. In my opinion it would be convenient, but it's also making me wonder if the waitlist might be small, since no one else seems to have been rejected from UofT Epi since the first round. It's really just a guessing game at this point.

    If there's been a delay in second round of offers for UofT Epi it's likely that everyone offered admission has accepted so far. But it would be nice to know how much people are on the waitlist, although I doubt they'll say.

    So re this I thought a lot of you would find it interesting on how they roll out the admissions processes.. 

     

    I talked to the co-director for a different program at U of T (MHSc in clinical physiology) who also used to be my prof and from talking to her and going to the DLSPH open house in 2018 here's how I assume they do their admissions for DLSPH at the very least, if not for other graduate schools/programs as well. 

    Round 1: After reviewing everyone's files they send out initial rejectiioins. These are people who did not meet the "unspecified" cut off. As someone said earlier they liikely rank you on each part of your application then choose a cutoff rank for further considerations. They also do immediate acceptances. This is for the most highly rated candidates who applied. They want to be competetive with other schools so they offer these people admissioins first. 

    Ongoing rounds: So this is where it gets interesting. From talking to my old prof, she said that they want to ensure their incoming cohort is diverse in terms of demographics (place of undergrad, undergraduate study, age, race, ethnicity, etc.) AND diverse in experiences. Hence even though a lot of medical professionals apply they obvs want a cohort that is mixed in terms of their experiences. This is mostly because they only have so many seats to fill so they want to make sure that even though it's a "smaller" program, they have a representative group. 

    TLDR: if you haven't heard an answer, it's not that you're rejected and have to wait for a spot to open up, it's more likely that they have already admitted their top candidates and are now in the process of a rolling decision to ensure they have a diverse cohort for the incoming class. Be patient! It's still early for decisions to be coming out and most schools won't finalize until June/July. 

    Congrats to  everyone who received acceptances already and good luck to everyone still waiting! :)

    That's interesting how they consider demographics, definitely a unique approach opposed to traditional methods of acceptance. Thank you for sharing this, :) I'm hopeful that's there's still a chance for those of us who are anxiously waiting!
