Application processes are very arbitrary. You might submit the exact same application next year and get it. I know that not receiving the award after ranking so well at the university level feels bad, but you should be proud of yourself. You received a great score at one of the world's best universities.
Hey,
I've also applied to the MA Criminology program at U of T. I e-mailed the graduate administrator two days ago and was informed that my application is "under review" and that I would hear back from them early next week. I just don't know how to interpret this.
Good luck to everyone!
