Hello everyone, firstly congrats on your acceptances! You deserve them.
I have been waitlisted (unofficially) by McGill, so if anyone wishes to not take up their offer, please let them know.
It is my second cycle and I do not have any offers currently. Hoping against hope that something comes up. ?

Heard from Brown (accepted) about an hour and a half ago - email with link to portal.

Same question! Also about the Brown admits.

Same question! Also about the Brown admits.

I agree with this so much! Someone at one of the schools I applied to told me that if I'm admitted I'll have to retake the TOEFL because it's been three years since I last took it... but in those three years I've been getting my Master's in the US... And also before TOEFL I did a Master's in the UK, and took IELTS and all the Cambridge University tests, I've been basically taking these tests since I was 10. I just don't understand these weird test date policies.
Anyway, I hope that is not the reason you're not hearing back. Good luck with that application!! 

Because I really think TOEFL is racist and don't think it's fair of universities to ask intl applicants to pay to prove their competency in English when it's been my first language throughout school and college, having done my Masters from Singapore, and also having online think tank level publications.

The first one isn't really a factor we as potential students or even eventual students have much control over sadly. While it is good that top tier universities are increasing stipends it should go without saying that doesn't mean the cohorts HAVE to decrease in size as they can rein in budgets in better ways.
 
As for the second one, that is certainly a valid fear but I think future students at least have some say in that because if teaching loads DO get out of hand, students can always attempt to unionize to get the admin to knock that crap off. Both cases just go to show how academia as a whole is starting to be mirror more corporate bullshit jobs to quote David Graeber (rest in power, comrade). If you all haven't read Bullshit Jobs by Graeber I would highly recommend it; while it mostly focuses on the private sector he does talk about academia quite a bit too.
