Can't remember if this has been asked already, but does anyone know the acceptance rate after the interview stage? For example I know for Waterloo they have say 120 spots and they interview 240, so 50% are accepted.
Last year, I remember it being mentioned that it's around a 50% acceptance rate after the interviews as well
Hey guys, I was wondering if T19s or T20s were still going to do a session about MMI and their experience on it just like I heard them doing last year. And if anyone wants to practice for the MMI let me know I'll be in Toronto until the interview starts.
When is your interview? I'd like to practice with you if our schedules work! My interview is on the 6th
My interview is also on the 6th. Maybe we can all practice together!When is your interview? I'd like to practice with you if our schedules work! My interview is on the 6th
Mine is on the 6th! Where about in Toronto are you? Where would be a good place to practice
I live 5 mins away from campus hahahMine is on the 6th! Where about in Toronto are you? Where would be a good place to practice
ohhh i see. I'd be coming all the way from Vaughan, so it'd be nice if we could meet up in north york area. Otherwise, it would be a 2.5 hr commute (so 5 hours for a round trip). If not, maybe we can work something out online?!
Hi! I was wondering if you got debate stations, this seems different from previous years. Also, are there no more traditional questions?
When is your interview? I'd like to practice with you if our schedules work! My interview is on the 6th
Mine is also on the 6th. Wednesday or Thursday from 11pm to 6pm is okay for me, although if you have another time in mind let me know and I'll see if it can work. If anyone else is interested just reply or PM me.
Where do you live and when exactly is your interview hahaha?
Hi guys, 1T9 here. I did a few small sessions with 2T0s last year to help them prep for their MMIs, so I'd be happy to extend the same offer to anyone who would be interested since Ill be downtown this week for work (fee free to PM if you have any questions about pharmacy, or the MMIs!)
I inboxed you!
I am interested in meeting up and practising as well.
I am interested in meeting up as well!
Hi guys, so a few applicants have messaged me and the plan is to meet up at the U of T downtown campus this Thursday around 4:30pm to practice and go through any questions you may have! PM if you are interested and available to join us and I'll confirm the location!
Yes, that time is perfect I'll definitely be able to come. Will the location be in Leslie Dan?
Session D at 3:00 p.m on Saturday, I live in Brampton so it takes me 40 mins to reach there, however I am free Wednesday to Saturday so timing is not an issue. I specially reserved those day to study for MMI, might as well use them well Hahaha.
Great just let me know of a time and place that is suitable for you, preferably somewhere in Uft.

I've been looking at practice questions lately and a lot of them are extremely long. It takes me almost a minute to read, so I hardly have time to come up with ideas after I've tried to figure out what I just read. For instance:
" A message that recently appeared on the Web warned readers of the dangers of aspartame (artificial sweetener – Nutrasweet, Equal) as a cause of an epidemic of multiple sclerosis (a progressive chronic disease of the nervous system and systemic lupus (a multisystem auto-immune disease). The biological explanation provided was that, at body temperature, aspartame releases wood alcohol (methanol), which turns into formic acid, which „is in the same class of drugs as cyanide and arsenic.‟ Formic acid, they argued, causes metabolic acidosis. Clinically, aspartame poisoning was argued to be a cause of joint pain. numbness, cramps, vertigo, headaches, depression, anxiety, slurred speech and blurred vision. The authors claimed that aspartame remains on the market because the food and drug industries have powerful lobbies in Congress. They quoted Dr. Russell Blaylock, who said. „The ingredients stimulate the neurons of the brain to death, causing brain damage of varying degrees.‟ Critique this message, in terms of the strength of the arguments presented and their logical consistency. Your critique might include an indication of the issues that you would like to delve into further before assessing the validity of these claims."
For people who've already done the interviews, are the questions prompts anywhere near this length?
(On top of being super long, this example is quite demanding and requires a lot of thought too...)

Most of the questions I had were MUCH shorter (1-3 lines).
I am coming! So it is 4:30 tomorrow at Leslie Dan? By the way, I really appreciate the offer

I have a dumb question but how do you calculate cGPA percentage? Is it like 3.4/4x 100= 85%?
I'm with you!!! How are you prepping for the interview?
I've just been doing mock interviews with my girlfriend. Idk what else to do really haha
IF you receive letter grades only, here is how your cGPA is calculated. If you receive percentages, its just an average of all your grades.
A+ = 90
A = 85
A- = 81
B+ = 78
B = 75
B- = 71
C+ = 68
C = 65
C- = 61
D+ = 58
D = 55
D- = 51
E = 45
F = 40

So will a health card and student ID card suffice for the two pieces of ID we're supposed to bring to the mmi?

Initially I was relieved that it was over, but now I keep thinking of better ways I should have answered the questions and it's making me nervous.

I did! I felt way more welcomed at U of T though, and the interviewees were much more friendly than UW
