SoooImpatient

I really think the chances of getting in are slim at this point. I wouldn't be surprised if the remaining people are also offered waitlist status just because they don't want to outright decline them after making them wait so long. I applied for all divisions and was waitlisted for all divisions. They sent me an email with a link to the status on the online application. It had the letters there for me to download.

Well, I just got waitlisted. This letter is incredibly frustrating. They tell you it's "not possible" to discuss your place on the waitlist, when really they just don't want to. OISE expects everyone to put their lives on hold while the school dicks around, or lose out on a potential spot. I'm honestly so fed up with this institution, and regret having spent money on the application. I have to decide this week whether or not to renew a work contract, and this state of limbo really fucks things up for me. Re: Application to the Department of Curriculum, Teaching and Learning Master of Teaching in Teaching (Primary/Junior)/ Ontario College of Teachers Certificate of Qualification Program ( full-time ) Thank you for your application for admission to graduate studies at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education of the University of Toronto. We regret that an offer of admission cannot be made at this time. The department received a large number of applications from well-qualified candidates, but only a limited number of spaces were available. Your name has been placed on a waitlist. We realize being on an admission waitlist often causes problems for people needing to make decisions concerning their future. While it is not possible to enter into discussion or correspondence about your position on the waitlist, we will make every effort to contact you as soon as possible should a space become available. If you have not received an offer of admission by mid-August, it would be safe to assume that all student places have been filled for the academic year and an offer of admission will not be forthcoming. Meanwhile, should you make other plans or wish to have your name removed from the waitlist, please advise the department directly as soon as possible (Michelle Pon, 416-978-0051, michelle.pon@utoronto.ca). We appreciate your interest in graduate studies at OISE and extend our best wishes as you pursue your educational goals. Sincerely, Dr. Sheldon Grabke Registrar, OISE E. & O.E.

Welp, I emailed them again. Let's see what canned response they give this time.

Me too! And I applied in November.

Lol as someone with a shit GPA but a (hopefully) compelling SI and decent work experience, this give me hope.

I've essentially given up hope at this point lol. I'm so disgusted with this institution. I think it's all about money and bragging rights. Why else keep applications open so long? I bet they raked in over 45k just in application money.

I haven't heard anything either, and I applied before the November deadline.

The people that got rejected applied after I did, so I wonder what their process is... The only reason given was that their applications were't sufficiently strong because they had a lot of really good candidates apply. My GPA for the last year was 3.49, but my overall GPA is 2.7. I'll let you all know if I get in LOL.

I'm so glad I have you guys. I would be going insane if I had to wait by myself. I can't believe it's taking this long. I already know 3 people that got rejected to the program, but that was around the beginning of March (and one around the 20th).
