A big thing for me was going to office hours or just talking to them here and there after class or through email. Whether it be to discuss how you should go about an assignment, to review subject matter, or just to introduce yourself, they'll acknowledge that you're going the extra distance to do well in their class and that you are dedicated. Also, if possible, if any of them have research labs offering to lend a hand was a big help for me. I started as a volunteer in my professor's lab and ended up being hired as her assistant. Just getting to know your profs is super helpful! Talk to them and do well in their class and they'll be more than happy to write you a letter.

Im so happy for you!! Congrats!

Just officially accepted my offer at U of T and declined Western's offer so I hope a Westen hopeful gets good news soon!

"ORPAS includes all courses and marks, including failures, incomplete, repeated, and supplementary courses." I copy and pasted that from their little handbook - page 11! https://www.ouac.on.ca/docs/orpas/b_orpas_e.pdf Hope that helps

yaayy! congrats!

Just PMed you

I just declined my offer today so I hope you hear good news soon! We had until April 8th so I would think youd hear in the next few days.

Awesome thanks for the input. Now if I could find some reasonable rent Ill be the happiest student out there.

What made you pick McGill? I think Im pretty set on U of T but reading this made me question myself haha

Yes!! I tried looking and couldn't find one so let me know if you do!

Also in at U of T! I believe I will be accepting U of T and declining Western and McGill!

That is great news! Don't lose hope!

Last year it was around 9, 9:30 ish in the morning for acceptances, thats all I know though!

accepted to western! Come on U of T!

I believe they send out an email tomorrow morning! I have made a ROSI account and it says 'invited' but its not clear if that means accepted or not as of just yet..

Yay!! Hopefully this is the first piece good news of many in the next 24 hours!

Darn, here I thought I had solved everyone's problem. Keep in mind theyre likely going through and doing all of the applicants - they didnt tell us to sign on to this so I dont think theyre necessarily ready for us we just figured it out

I figured it out - I was personally logging on to the wrong website so you guys might have been too! You need to go to ROSI and use your student number to make yourself a pin, and then log in there. The login website from the first email we got was just the website for housing.

Mine still says that too!

yeah that's what mine says and everyone else I think.. so not to worry! Just not sure when well get log in information or have applicant data available

My friend applied last year but was never a student and she had to contact them because apparently its different for you. I think it may be the same login ID and such as the first time you applied but it cant hurt to ask.

See on my Western account (because I go here) it says status 'applied' and that will change on April 1st.. so Im just wondering if there should be somewhere that shows that the application is in progress.. Glad that everyone is in the same boat though.

Maybe U of T's email went to junk by mistake? It wasn't marked very clearly. Either way I dont think its a big deal.. but maybe look into it just so you can make sure you have the login info you need to see if you got accepted!

Did you apply last year by any chance? A friend of mine did and she did not get an email so she called them about it and they said they screwed up a bunch of re-appliers. It was just your login info and the opportunity to apply for housing.. maybe give them a call if you want your login but I wouldn't worry too much because Im sure they got your application if ORPAS says they did. Also, I go to Western so I can already log on to the system, but everyone else is saying they have yet to hear from them so don't fret!

Okay good! Thanks guys
