WOOOOO Just got off the waitlist
Congrats !
Congrats to all who made it! I have a question for people who got accepted: How many of you guys got accepted with a score of 3 in the PCAT essay? (new essay marking scheme is 1-6) I have a feeling that most people who got accepted got 4+ on the essay. Thank you for reading!
Hey everyone. I just had a quick question about applying to UofT. If we're using grade 12 credits for English or Physics, how would we get them to send the transcript to UofT. Would we just give them our OEN and they'd verify we had the proper credits? I'll also be taking a course through ILC, and I'm not sure if they'll be able to send a transcript to UofT for me. Thanks for any help.
Thats a good question. Did you guys have to hand in on official high school transcript, or did someone do this differently?

I got off the waitlist this past Friday, and was in the upper half!
I was also in the upper-half of the wait list and got the offer on July 5th! Still feel like I'm on Cloud 9!

They don't tell us what the weights are for average/PCAT/MMI. I'm pretty sure if you're weak in one category, you can redeem yourself with another, but seeing as we don't know what exactly they look for, we just had to do our best to be well rounded. Even if we did know how important each category was, we don't know exactly what our interview scores were (we can only guess how many interviews went well) so it's pointless trying to figure out their formula.Thank you for the replies. So apparently this year's uoft admissions had 3 as a cutoff mark for essays. I know that for final admissions review they consider your PCAT percentile score, but do they also take into factor your writing score?
I was wondering if the admissions commitee mentioned any word about this during the interview orientation a few months ago. Also I'm unsure of the weighing factors for final admission. Can anyone provide some insight? Thanks!
Has anyone been accepted off the waitlist since July 5th? I'm in the upper half of the waitlist and getting nervous that I haven't heard anything yet
Does anyone know if it's still possible to get an interview if you don't meet one of the minimum requirements?
I got a 3.3gpa, and 89% composite on my PCAT, but my reading comprehension was 18%. The minimum on their site says 20% and I'm a bit worried if they automatically filter anyone who doesn't meet one of their requirements.
Hey everyone. I just had a few questions about the PCAT score. If my composite is alright, but my essay mark does not meet the minimum, will I not receive an interview invitation?
Thanks for your reply Apedicelli . Now I'm really, really worried :'(. I don't feel like I wrote a good essay. Does anyone know what UofT's new minimum for writing is? I think it still shows the writing score as two separate scores instead of one. Thanks for any help .
I just got off the wait list today!
Thanks! Well the admissions office called and asked if I was still interested in the program because there is a spot available. So I told her right there that I would like to take the spot. But she said that I need to send back the signed offer of admission no later than tomorrow night. Keep hanging in there! I'm sure there will be more spots that open up soon

Congrats! I actually got off the waitlist on Monday! So there seems to be some movement happening. Good luck to all those waiting, chances are still very good, although I know it's nerve racking.
Congrats on getting off the waitlist! Hopefully everyone else on the forum will be able to get into pharm as well.
I just had a question about the application process. I know that the cGPA, PCAT, and interview are used determine if you'll be accepted, but is there another portion that I'm missing? Is there a supplementary application where we have to answer questions about ourselves and write an essay or two? I looked on the UofT webpage, but the new application form has not been released yet. Any help would be appreciated!
When is the payment deadline for those who are accepted?
I just got accepted and met a fellow 1T7 at the CPR/First Aid Training who had the same situation as you. He was at Waterloo for his 1st year, and took the other prerequisites at another university in his 2nd and 3rd year. Despite the transfer from one uni to another, he still got accepted.Hi everyone, congrats on acceptances. I have a quick question for ones that got in: with regards to your academic requirements, did anyone who got in take some courses at one university and other required courses at other universities? So for example, let's say you took Organic chemistry I at U of T and then took Organic Chemistry 2 at Western; did you get accepted? I'm asking because I've heard from the admissions officer that it's a disadvantage on your application if you took one half of a required course at a different university (for overlapping/course differences) reasons. So now, I'm nervous! Because I am taking the second half of a few courses at a different university than my original one!
Let me know everyone! Best of luck.
ACCEPTED! Long time lurker, first time poster:
PCAT: 75th percentile
gpa: ~3.15
Interview: Felt like I did well in 10/10 stations.
My stats are abysmal. I did not expect to get into UofT since they do not take CV or personal profiles into consideration. I knew if I got an interview I had to nail it, and I guess I did For future applicants who read this and wonder if their stats are good enough... well... they most likely are
Hey did you end up getting any more info? Can you still get an interview if one of your PCAT components fall below the cutoffs?Thanks for your reply Apedicelli . Now I'm really, really worried :'(.
