    Oh wow. That's good news, there's still a chance for you. I'm going to check my mail now :S also in toronto. 

    I suppose. I know they don't release this information but I am really curious to know how many people in total do they have on the waitlist. The letter is dated Apr 4 so you will definitely receive by the end of today, if not tomorrow. Hope you receive even better news :)

    Wow, I'm so sorry to hear that. You really deserved to get in! If it helps at all, I was told by someone who graduated a few years ago that they get so many applications, they never let anyone in the first time they apply. Regardless, I hope you end up in a program that makes you happy!

    That's so kind of you. Thank you for the encouraging words. Good luck to you as well and hope you get into a great program!

    I have a final year GPA lower than that at 3.82 from Uoft with 4 years of experience at a hospital, 2 years at a health and wellness center, 1 year as research assistant at a clinical neuropsychology lab and a social neuroscience lab, and experience at women's centre, with disability services, and have worked with children, adolescents, and seniors. I haven't received any response either (not on ROSI or through mail), but last year people with lesser GPA and experience were accepted or at least waitlisted. But I am losing all hope

    Hey guys,

    I am in a really bad position right now, I spent the last day crying. So basically, I applied to graduate about a month ago, but apparently the request didn't go through and now it is past the deadline to apply. I have read in certain areas of my school website that I can go and talk to convocation office about submitting after the deadline but on other parts of the school website it says that March 11th is the last day to submit. I am lost and confused, all of my credits will be done by the end of April. Therefore I should be convocating in June.  However, what happens if I can't resubmit my application to graduate? UGH. Does anyone know what the rules are regarding this, can I enter a graduate/post grad program before I convocate IF all of my courses are done and I have been approved by my schools to graduate? The next convocation is October. Advice please... I am inconsolable right now...

    I'm so sorry this happened. But I highly recommend you go speak to the convocation office as soon as you can. In addition to resubmitting your application to graduate, explain them your situation in person and tell them that you have applied to grad schools. I'm sure they'll understand. If there happens to be no way they'll let you graduate now, speak to the grad school you plan to attend. As far as you have completed all the degree requirements for your undergrad, they will likely understand and let you in regardless. Don't worry it'll eventually work out. I'm sure of it!

    Applied: MEd Counseling & Psychotherapy
    Accepted: ???
    Waitlisted: ???
    Rejected: ???
    GPA: 3.88 in final year of undergrad (neuroscience), 3.83 in MA (gender/women's studies)

    Relevant experience: Sexual assault crisis line, disability care collective, one season as a front line shelter volunteer and my paid work for the past several months has been at the same shelter, board member of gender justice centre for 3 years, queer and trans community organizing work, peer support winter mental health group. 
    Perceived strength of statement of intent/interviews/references: I feel really good about my statement of intent - shows my strengths and interests pretty clearly and showcases how I stand out from the crowd (hopefully!) One letter was from a coworker and is good, and the other is from one of my MA supervisors (a social work prof) and I haven't seen it but have no reason to think it's not solid.

     

    No mail delivery today, no update on SGS and nothing on my ROSI account seems to have changed since I took a summer class at UTM in 2009. Not sure if this means rejection or it just hasn't been updated yet?? Feeling pretty nervous about it because I really want this program.

    Seriously they need to accept you right away!!

    Question: 
    When waiting to hear back does anyone know what to do with offers they have already received? I have received an offer from a school (yay!), however, it isn't my first choice and I am concerned about letting it expire and then not getting accepted anywhere else. Does anyone else have this concern? Is it possible to accept an offer and then withdraw if you get accepted elsewhere?

    Congratulations on the other offer! Out of curiosity, was it OISE you hear back from?

    As for your question, you can email the schools you haven't yet heard back from, let them know the last date you can accept the other offer by, and see if they can email you a response earlier. Sometimes they are willing to accommodate the applicant
