Has anyone heard from UoT of late? Especially, from the Materials Science department.
Is it true, that MASc applicants, international or domestic have to go through some sort of interview with a professor for getting accepted. Actually, I did contact a professor, whom I want to work with but I haven't been contacted yet for any sort of interview.
Also, the thing being that I am shifting from Chemical Engineering to Materials Science is what is worrying me a lot regarding acceptance. I have significant 1.5 years of research experience during UG in Materials, a GPA of 8.29/10 (I belong to India) and a couple of conferences to my credit. Being an international student, I have a TOEFL score of 114. I have been told that I should expect to get a decision by this Monday. However, I am kinda worried thinking of my chances of making it through.
Can anyone comment.
Thanks

okay, now I am new to this forum, and I see that most of the discussion is about US university programs. Can someone throw some light on the admission scene to the MASc Materials Science program at University of Toronto?
A bit of my profile stands as below
TOEFL: 114 (the only test score UToronto has asked for)
UG GPA: 8.29/10 (Chemical Engineering)
UG University: BITS-Pilani
Applied to: MASc Materials Science and Engineering
1 poster presentation in International Conference, 1 poster presentation in a national seminar, 1 oral paper presentation in International conference
Research in Nanomaterials
More of my research and resume can be found at https://sites.google.com/site/mynanodomain/
LOR: 3 good ones
SOP: More focused on Nanotech research
Can someone give me an idea as to what are my chances of getting through?

I know its tough to predict the exact decision. But I want to know, what does my profile look like, good enough to make it through? Is it wise to consider it a safe option?
