Hi everyone. Does anyone know when we'd hear from OGS for u of t?
I believe usually the highest 25 gpa people addmitted into the 2 yr program normally gets the OGS (another 15 for 1yr I think). But I am not sure when people get notified. Looking for the same info here.... wonder when they will be announced / informed (maybe someone else on this forum already explored that question) !

Mine, too. Last year I made it to their waiting list and this year it says unsuccessful.
Frustrating. I have an A- average. Did stats, research and a research apprenticeship. I got 92% on my thesis. Majored in social development studies. Have 20+ years working for welfare, employment insurance, as an advocate for injured workers, as an employment counsellor, and as a special needs educator. If it's not enough for them, I'm not sure what is. I wonder if my age is a barrier.
This is my 2nd year applying and 2nd year not accepted. I won't be applying again. Clearly, I don't have what they want and I'm not sure what else I can do.
I am hoping that it wasn't the age ! Because I can tell you from my experience having already done a graduate degree in another subject, it would be the most boring/least creative class room to be in, where people are exactly the same (in all sorts of things, including thinking; diversity in class room is a very useful thing). We need all types of people in a class room, and I can also tell you, when I was doing my graduate degree some years ago now, I as a 24 yr old found the oldest person in my research group and also the classes (same 55+ yr old person btw), to be most flexible, creative, calm person in the group, I enjoyed working with her. On the other hand, some of the 22-26 yr old's in my classes were very spoiled, blabber mouths that just liked listening to their own voice !
But one does have to wonder though, because your description of your qualifications and experience sound to me like a good match, unless you had really bad references from work/university ? (but i guess if this was the case you wouldn't even get wait-listed)....
Hopefully you do end up getting a spot though as people give up their U of T positions for other universities. Good luck to you and all others on this forum who are still waiting to hear back and are wait listed somewhere.

Hi All,
I have been following this blog for sometime now and it has given me so much information over the time, I think the information here is very useful for anyone applying or planning to apply in the future (of course I only saw the blog after I applied hence I didnt get to use any of the tips from this blog).
I wanted to ask a question, perhaps there are few members here that might have an answer to that. I am wondering if your ROSI (for U of T applicants/ students already) changed after the decision on your application. It did for me it went from being nothing there to to being invited to 2Yr MSW for 2013 Fall / Winter ! (FYI my application itself says decision made as well)
I am tired of all the waiting like most of you and a bit anxious too, I live in New Brunswick (and as it is mail sometimes has a way of being delivered to the wrong house etc around where I live on occasion,) so I am just thinking my decision letter is on its way but it will take a bit longer than for people who live in Ontario.
I thank you all in advance to the responses.
