Didn't find a thread for UT. Who else is applying?
does anyone know when we will hear back? Pretty frustrating they take so long to notify you.
Accepted today as well
Have you guys checked your online application summary? I just looked at mine today and saw that I had been accepted. I then called Angela Campbell to make sure I wasn't seeing things, and she confirmed my acceptance. Hopefully you all will receive a response soon, good luck!
Hi everyone! I have just been accepted but I do have some concerns. Anyone have any info on the chances of getting into the MD program? I see that about 75-80 % have gotten in the last couple of years, but how heavily weighted is how we do in the coursework? Is it possible to be one of the best students, and still not get in, even with a "solid" interview? Just curious if anyone has any ideas or experiences. Thanks!
Got in as well and as far as numbers are concerned. I think out of the ~52 students in the program, 40-45 got into the medical school. I think that is always a possibility but those type of students may have gotten in elsewhere so don't worry about anomalies. The coursework is what they basically look at. Remember, we are here to prove to them and to ourselves that we can handle medical school coursework. Show them.
There will always be students who don't get in for SOME reason even if they had an amazing interview and solid grades in the program but I think with an acceptance rate of 70-80%, if you are one of the top students, I wouldn't sweat it.
Congratulations to those who have heard back, so far!
I'm still waiting, myself, but I wanted to check how you're all finding out. Are you receiving e-mails, or do you have to check the site?
Thanks for the info!
Hi guys. I found out through the portal, then I think the letter should take a few days to show up. The class will not be final for a while so keep checking!
Hey yall. So, I was planning on attending Toledo, but I just got off the waitlist at Tufts, which is great except now I have to decide between that and Toledo. Something about rejecting Tufts to go for the more guaranteed route just doesnt sit well with me. However, stats arent stellar at all (I repeated 2 courses, so 2.962 cGPA and 2.82 sGPA if you include the repeated grades, and a 30 MCAT). I mean I have to kick ass no matter where I go. Would I just be shooting myself in the foot if I go to Tufts and pass up Toledo's awesome UTCOM acceptance rate? I just feel like Tufts would open the door to more options instead of sealing my fate for the next 5+ years at Toledo. Any input would be greatly appreciated
Does anyone know whether orientation is mandatory or whether it could be done online?
So you're thinking I won't even have a chance after the Toledo MSBS? Interesting...
Disagree with the other poster's assessment. Toledo has a historically high linkage rate for their SMP graduates (I believe it's around 80%?). Your SMP grades will be the primary determinant of your acceptance to medical school. Typically, however, sub-3.0 GPAs have very low odds at non-linkage schools.
Not too sure as we haven't been given any information on it but here is last year's information/schedule and it doesn't say mandatory but there seem to be some important things on there that you wouldn't want to miss.
Edit: and orientation is usually a few days before classes start so you might as well be in Toledo for it or we can all stream it live for you haha

Thanks! Where did you find that? Looks worth going to for sure!

Still waiting
Hopefully you'll find out this week when they send us our information packets but I would call or email Lauren Clarke/Angie Campbell to see when you'll find out. Usually it's on a thursday when they update the online portal so call those two secretarial ladies and make sure you get in so you can room with us haha
Yeah dude I actually emailed Dr. Bennett-Clarke and she said they are waiting for about 20 ppl to respond to their decision and send out the final decisions in about 10 days--I really wanna go here!
Dr. CBC won't really tell you much. When was that email she sent to you?
Talk to her secretaries as they know more about who has responded and what not.
I emailed her yesterday and she responded in 10 minutes. you think the secretaries will give me a better estimate?

Just withdrew my acceptance. Hope one of you on the waitlist gets it!!
