Argh, would make life a bit easier if they were to post class times for our Fall/Winter term.

Urgh. Great. Well, I called in and they had to send my offer of admission via e-mail in the form of a PDF file, lol...

Cool! I'm in English/History. And I STILL haven't received my acceptance letter in the mail... Ridiculous. I might have to visit the school and pick it up myself, augh.

Saweeeet. Which subject stream (if that's the correct term) have you been assigned? Math/Science or English/History?

Got accepted to I/S! I'll see you guys in September! I actually STILL haven't received my acceptance letter in the mail, but long story short, I was led to ROSI and noticed that I was registered as "invited" to I/S for full-time. So guys, if any of you are UofT grads, check out ROSI! My SGS profile hasn't been updated either.

Yeah, but it'll only gets further nerve-racking once you receive an interview for an actual teaching position. Experience alone isn't enough - you have to be able to convey your experiences articulately and confidently, particularly since this skill's transferable to teaching in general. By the way, I've seen blonde/light-haired applicants admitted to the program; my friend's an MT student and I've spotted pictures of her classmates. Your friend probably nailed all the points on education that the interviewers wanted to hear. Same here... they should have sent out their mail on Thursday or yesterday before/after the post office closed. Here's hoping we all receive good news tomorrow or later this week!

Did you guys receive an e-mail from the Department of Curriculum, Teaching and Learning (CTL) about a "Meet & Greet and Research Showcase" specifically for the MT program? The e-mail says: Dear applicant, Thank you for your application to the Master of Teaching in Elementary and Secondary Education (MT) program in the Department of Curriculum, Teaching and Learning (CTL) at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE). As you may know, we have been reviewing applications to our program. Official notification of results are in the process of being mailed. As an applicant, we wanted to invite you to the Department of Curriculum, Teaching and Learning Meet & Greet and Research Showcase that is scheduled for April 10th, 2013. Attend our Research Showcase and speak with faculty members and students about ongoing research in CTL. Afterwards, you’re invited to meet with our current students to discover more about the program. --- Maybe I'm over-thinking it, but I would find it odd if they were to invite "any" applicant to attend this showcase, especially now that the date of official results is approaching, which they've also mentioned explicitly in their e-mail. If they're sending this notice out to applicants who have already been slated for the rejection pile, then UofT's just cruel for the prolonged tease... lol. Sigh. Waiting for my decision to be disclosed.
