Interviews & Offers

When a space in the class becomes available, we contact the next person on the waitlist with an offer of admission. We will make repeated attempts to contact applicants from the waitlist who are being offered admission - we do not skip your name simply because we got your voicemail. Since we cannot predict how many additional offers may be necessary, or when they may be needed, we maintain a portion of the waitlist until the beginning of classes. Final notification to these candidates will be sent at the end of August.

Medical schools have different assessment procedures. At U of T, the interview is the final stage of the admissions process. Applications are reviewed in detail prior to ranking for interview. Due to the volume of applications, the process of careful review and scheduling means you may hear from us later than from other schools. 

As long as you have not begun your graduate program you may still receive an offer to the MD Program.

Attendance at an interview is mandatory. We will make a reasonable effort to accommodate students who have conflicting interviews or compelling personal circumstances. We encourage applicants to email md.applicants@utoronto.ca with any conflicts of interview dates. Due to the limited availability of interview times, such accommodation is not always possible. 

Invitations are sent by e-mail to the address you provide in your OMSAS application. All applicants who are offered an interview must reply by a given date. If you are invited for interview and we do not hear from you, we will try to contact you by telephone and/or e-mail. Failure to respond to the invitation may result in the cancellation of your application. Please ensure that you keep your contact information up-to-date with OMSAS. We receive these updates on a regular basis. 

Offers of admission will start to be sent out in the 2nd week of May. 

We do not provide personalized feedback on applications.

Interviews take place between February and April. Applicants are notified by e-mail on an ongoing basis, as the files are reviewed. 

We are not able to provide status information on your application.

We are not able to release information regarding offer status.

It is our policy not to disclose an applicant's position on the waitlist.
