I'm almost sure no one is following this thread anymore but I will post anyway. CSTD has finally gone to wait list and is making second round offers. Fortunately I was offered a spot to pursue my PhD full time/funding. Good luck to all others waiting and hoping.

What department? I can shed some light on CSTD waitlist if thats what you applied to.

MattieSed, If you recieved an acceptance from the university on letterhead then you are 100% accepted. I'm an MT grad and ROSI didn't even have me enrolled when the school year started so don't sweat it. Congrats! I suggest taking a summer elective (you will have to do one between 1st and 2nd year) called "Cultural Studies in Ed" with Beverly Jean Daniels (if offered) she blew my mind.

hcoach, Here is the admissions officer for APHD Lisa Chinchamie Programs & Admissions Coordinator (AP&HD) OISE/UT Room 9-296 Tel: (416) 978-0917 Fax: (416) 926-4708 l.chinchamie@utoronto.ca Call her and say that you have another offer from another school with a pressing response deadline and you were wondering if you could find out some info about the status of your application. If she is unable to help ask who the appropriate person in the department is and for their contact info. Good luck. Good luck.

Hey everyone, I've been passively following for a couple days now. Congratulations to those who are in. I applied to CSTD and HSSSJE PhD 2013. I spoke to the department grad admission officer in CSTD who informed me that I have been recommended for the wait list (recommended to "OISE Graduate Admissions"), my odds right now are good, that the tides are changing quickly, and that I would be able to get a better sense of things early next week. I emailed grad admission officers in HSSSJE who also said that I am on the wait list but am in the middle of the pack so this seems less promising. However, HSSSJE informed me that I was recommended for the EdD program which is unfunded. The invitation for the EdD has also showed up in my ROSI account. All said and done, I recommend contacting the departments directly and asking since a lot of us have other decisions to be made based on other schools. As well, I spoke to "OISE Graduate Admissions" who said that letters can take 1-2 weeks as of today, meanwhile, both departments (CSTD and HSSSJE) have indicated that they are still grappling through the wait list into next week. Hope this sheds some light on the process and system. All the best!
