Most likely! They wont bother if they werent consdering you. Hopefully that answer was sufficient. Sending positive vibes your way. Hope you hear something positive this week !

@ohgosh did you pick York or Ryerson?

For my first one I had just woken up from a 4 hour sleep after working a night shift. I was browsing the internet(with my email opened in the back) when I heard the notification. I checked the email to see the sender as MSW/PhD. My heart skipped a beat! after finding out I was accepted I could not believe my eyes as I was not expecting any notification for at least another month. After calling a friend and family, I did the biggest happy dance in history. I still have the acceptance letter on my kitchen fridge to remind me of my accomplishment everyday. Although I ended up not attending that university, anytime I see that acceptance letter it instantly elevates my mood! For the one that I am attending, I was at work and decided to check my email. I figured I was rejected as others on the forum had been notified about 3 weeks prior. I was thinking, finally the rejection notification. I opened it only to see a congratulations!!!! I was in shock! I had to read it over and over again. Not only was it an acceptance but there was a 9000 funding package in the form of a GAship! I remember complaining to my mother about graduate school expences just a couple days prior. After about a week and half, my formal acceptance letter came in the mail and I found out I had been awarded an additional 6000 dollar scholarship(merit based) I was beyound estatic. From time to take I take that acceptance letter out and reread it just to remind me of what an accomplishment i have achieved. For someone who has been dealing with some tough issues lately, reading that acceptance letter always takes me to a different place!

No it changes after a decision has been made i.e. acceptance, rejection or waitlist(they dont need confirmation). It simply means after reviewing your application documents a decision was made to either accept you, decline, or put you on a waitlist

take out!

Dont take it as a rejection until your myfile or the department has notified you. Like you(but advanced standing) I had totally given up on York until I heard back about 3 weeks after acceptance/waitlist were all notified. Not only that but I actually found out I got an additional 6000 scholarship! Point is, dont cross it out until you have officially been informed. Good luck to both of you

CONGRATS!!!!!!

any one currently at York 1yr????????

Hoping to connect with York Advanced standing applicants!!

@ Nutella That is good to know! CONGRATULATIONS on your scholarship!!!!!!! Now cant wait for my letter to make it more REAL !!!

No I was waitlisted for the one year program March 6th. So I guess the email about timelines for decisions is somewhat accurate(1 year Mid-feb to Mid March

If you are put on a waitlist and they need certain information, they'll ask for it. In my case, I was asked to send in a final transcript and practicum evaluation(never did practicum 1, I got PLAR credit for it) after completion. I am not sure if everyone put on the waitlist was asked to send in the same. They did not ask for my resume. I can see sending in transcripts from end of semester in December but a resume with a couple more months of experience? Anyway I dont think they start ranking the waitlists until after April 7th(deadline to send in response), by that time I am sure they would have sent out waitlist emails/letters.... Waitlisted: University of Toronto

For those of you admitted to York did you receive more than 9000? My email said minimum of 9000, not sure if there is a possibility of more and if the official acceptance letter would state??? Did any of you receive more? I am very content but just want to know!!!

Crazy I just got accepted to York . I was seriously convinced I didn't make the cut. Such weird way of informing people smh

Marcia, i applied there as well. My response was needed my March 4th. I guess at this time its fair to follow up. I think the contact person is Angela Chen. Good luck I hope you hear some good news!

I was accepted to the one year program @ Carleton. My response was needed by today(21 days from date of offer). I only responded yesterday... I am guessing depending on when others were offered, their response would be needed 21 days from then....They probably want to get a number of responses before offering second round of admissions....I'd say give it some time before contacting these people....... Good luck everyone, hope you hear some good news....

So they assume 50% will turn down offers interesting !

I wonder how many people go on the waitlist at University of Toronto. I just received my letter that I am on the waitlist. Doesnt really matter to me because I wasnt planning on going anyway(accepted an offer with a better aligned stream choice) but just curious to know how many people get on the waitlist. ! For advanced standing

Cheesecake did your my file change?

@magfish did you apply for advanced standing or the 2 year

Thanks Yweang ! At the end of the day it all boils down to YOU and your academic ability aka GPA and your statement of purpose/intent(how well it was written. This would show your academic( writing skills) and intellectual ability. The letters of reference only count for small portion. If you take a look at westerns website it'll tell you how the admissions grade is calculated. I think references only counted for either 10 or 20%. The university of Toronto specifically stated that the statement of intent would weigh significantly when making the decision.

Really yweang where did it say all the referees must have a minimum masters degree ?
