Welcome to
UofT Medicine.

For the Class of 3T0, the initial offer response deadline was May 26, 2026. Waitlist movement varies each year, so there is no set date when you will hear back. Unless the admissions team contacts you for something specific, there is nothing else you need to submit. Keep an eye on your email and OMSAS for any updates.

In the meantime, hold onto hope without putting the rest of your plans on pause. You can browse this guide while still making concrete plans for your other options.

There is no paragraph that makes that news easy. A refusal after everything you put into the process can feel like a real loss, especially while other people are celebrating.

Not receiving an offer does not take away from everything it took to reach this point. You are accomplished, capable and have so much ahead of you. Let yourself feel the disappointment, uncertainty or anything else that comes with the news, and give yourself the time and space to process it at your own pace.

When you are ready, the admissions site is the right place to check for current reapplication information and any feedback opportunities offered for your cycle. A future application can also look different because of what you learn, pursue and decide matters to you in the time between cycles.

• Check the UofT MD admissions site for current information.

Deferrals are rare and considered only in exceptional circumstances: usually medical, family caregiving, or a significant opportunity that genuinely cannot be deferred or repeated. They require documentation and are decided case by case. If you believe your situation qualifies, reach out directly to the MD Program Office. They're the right first call, and they'll walk you through the process and criteria for your cycle.

Moving from another province adds a few administrative steps. Review your provincial health coverage, financial-aid eligibility and the documents needed to establish yourself in Ontario. Ontario currently has no waiting period for OHIP if you are eligible, and you can apply after arriving. Confirm your own eligibility through ServiceOntario before changing existing coverage.

Honestly, very little. The Foundations curriculum is built for students with a wide range of backgrounds: engineering, humanities, science, music. Don't pre-study anatomy or pharmacology. Don't watch lecture recordings before lectures start. The program will give you everything you need.

The one thing worth doing in the summer is rest. The pace once classes start is more sustained than what you've experienced before, and starting tired makes it worse.

Housing is usually the largest variable, and asking rents change throughout the year. The Housing page compares neighbourhoods, buildings and commute estimates, while the Finances page lets you work through tuition, living costs and different funding sources using current figures.

Students use different combinations of government aid, savings, family support, bursaries, employment and professional student lines of credit. The right plan depends on your own circumstances, so use the guide as a starting point and speak with the MD Program financial counsellor for individual guidance.
