maui94 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Hey, I am wondering who else has applied to the MT program at OISE! What concentration did you apply for, what teachable(s), and what did your application look like? I applied to intermediate/senior for biology & social science. I had volunteer experience in a high school and ~4.0 GPA average in my last two years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
river6 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 (edited) Hi! I applied to the MT as well, but for Primary/Junior. My GPA is about a 3.2 I have experience volunteering at an elementary school, at a kindergarden readiness program, I also volunteered abroad for a few weeks with under privileged children, and volunteered at a public library for two children's programs. I also currently work for an after school program at a public school for TDSB. I got an interview for the MA program (child study and education), however MT was put as my first choice for OISE. Have you applied to any other schools? Edited January 25, 2017 by river6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R1995 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Does anybody know if there is still a chance at getting interviews even if one hasn't heard back yet? (If it is done in waves etc.) I have heard individuals have gotten interviews for the 28th and February 4th so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a 4.0 GPA as well, and applied for I/S for English and Social Sciences. I have 800+ hours of experience volunteering for a government organization that helps underprivileged students graduate high school, as well as volunteering in a classroom at a high school. Do you guys know what the conditional offer looks like? And whether they're picky with the average you need to maintain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wonder2525 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Hi Everyone I applied to the MT Primary/Junior Program. My GPA is 3.7 I was a singing/drama instructor part time for 4 years and I have been a full time environmental educator for 1.5 years. I also have worked as a respite worker for kids with disabilities. This program look great. I'm anxious to find out if I've been accepted. Does anyone know when we typically hear something? Good Luck to everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALk94 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 (edited) Heads up, if you guys log into ROSI or ACORN there may be indication of whether you've been accepted or not! On my ROSI account the MT program is listed and the status says "invited" Edited February 21, 2017 by ALk94 maui94 and studddyymonique 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's likely why it says that. Also, try to log into ACORN and click "enroll & manage" then click "programs" and check what it says there!

In another thread from last year about the MT program, someone posted that they called UofT to ask what "financially cancelled" meant and they were told that it means that your offer is conditional, because your degree(s) are still in progress! This makes sense, because I graduated last year, so my status is different than yours. maui94 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabschaud Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 My MA Child Study and Education one says financially cancelled and my MT one says invited... fingers crossed they both mean I'm in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icecream151 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Hey guys! I am really confused about ACORN. I had an interview for the Child Study and Education program (it was my first choice). The MA of Teaching was my second for primary junior. I talked to the liaison at the MA Child Study program and unfortunately did not get in. However, my ACORN automatically enrolled me in the MA Teaching program for primary junior (it also says financially cancelled). Please let me know if you know what this means. I am thinking because I didn't get into my first choice it automatically let me in to my second. The MA Child Study program was completely removed from my acorn now it just shows this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icecream151 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I also think "Invited" means accepted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From creeping old threads on this site I believe "invited" means accepted as well. But I also think just having the program show up on your ROSI probably means you got in. The MA and MT applications are evaluated differently, so it seems like you were accepted into the MT. I think we should get letters early March for 100% confirmation. maui94 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALk94 Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 (edited) I'm starting to wonder if the MT is worth it. I've heard mixed things. I wanted to go to OISE because I know having a masters gives me and edge and I was under the impression it gets you higher in the pay grid. But current students I know enrolled are saying going to OISE and anywhere else won't make a difference and we will be in the same category in the pay grid. I'm questioning if going to York where my tuition is lower would be a better choice if I'm going to be in the same category (A3) in the pay grid anyways. I think many students are worried about this because I just noticed they updated the page on the site about the MT program to include info about the pay grid. What at do you guys think?

icecream151 Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Hey! Thank you so much for your response! That is really good to know in regards to the pay scale. The last teacher I had a placement with said she got a full time teaching position after six months because the principal liked she went to OISE although this may not be the same for everyone. I definitely know what you mean about the cost though! I called and was also told March in regards to letters going out. I honestly just want to go on a vacation till this has all passed haha. It is very stressful waiting to hear back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cassl Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Hi everyone, I'm a bit confused and was wondering if anyone is experiencing the same thing. On ROSI it says that I am "financially cancelled" for both the MA and MT program yet when I log onto ACORN it says that I am enrolled in the MT program. Just wondering if anyone else has these inconsistencies between the different websites. I also received an email from the MA program saying that I was recommended to the registrar and was invited to the welcome reception. I am very confused!

icecream151 Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 (edited) Hey! Mine says that I am also "Enrolled" in MA Teaching Program. If you go to Subject POSTs section on Rosi on the left hand side bar. Does your says this? I am also very confused I thought you had to first be "Invited" before "Enrolled" or "Active"?

tingli66 Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 My status on ROSI is also financially cancelled. I called the office of the registrar and student services of OISE this afternoon. Their response was that I shouldn't rely on the status seen on ROSI or ACORN because nothing is official. And they said the final result will be mailed to us starting early March.

icecream151 Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 (edited) I was told it could be an indication of unofficial acceptance from office of registrar. He said offical comes in mail. Edited February 24, 2017 by icecream151 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
