FK@UofT

For those in advanced standing at U of T, is it possible to work at all during the year. Even just part time hours? If so, how many hours a week? Or do most people just not work during the year. Trying to plan my life financially as tuition aaaaint cheap. Open to hearing from people who went to York and Ryerson as well

...ouff.

...ouff.

I hear ya, it can certainly be tough! I honestly I poured over these forums last year when I applied but it made it so much harder when I got rejections or waitlisted (and never got off the waitlist). I'd say keep applying and don't be discouraged. It's great that you're being mindful about your experience on here, it can be hard to look for advice or suggestions but then feel like it's unclear, because like you said a successful applicant can be so many different things. I re-applied this year and feel like there wasn't much difference in my application but was happy to be accepted. I think you're right to not stress about the details. Happy to help with any future applications should you need :)

25-ish more days until 2-year UofT! We can do this

The first acceptance of the forum!!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!! Get excited!

I’m not sure if this is true. Angela told a person I know (who got in) that they are sending out everything regarding advanced standing applicants this week. 
I just checked my SGS account and I have been waitlisted. Which essentially means I did not get in because they don’t rank the waitlist and it basically never moves. 
 
If someone comments how ‘everything happens for a reason’ or ‘this isn’t your path right now’ I will SCREAM. 

Yes. To everything that you have to say. And, that it is also okay to manage through self-care strategies, while simultaneously  feeling a heavy heart and self-soothing through compulsively checking online portals / being active on this forum. Yes to it all, because all of it matters. The self-soothing and the processing and the feeling and the avoidance. It is true that the decisions that come out are not reflective of us as human beings and it is also true, that the decisions that come out affect us as human beings. All of this is so real, and prudent, and important - right now. I think the biggest breath we can give ourselves, is to be with ourselves in solidarity and acceptance while extending or hibernating away from the support that surrounds us. I hope you are open to your heavy heart, and that it can rest in you; until you find your way through it - for whatever direction it goes.

Bleh, I have to say I'm holding a bit of a heavy heart after not hearing anything from UofT and there being no change on Acorn. Witnessing how gruelling this process can be for all of us, and definitely interested to hear how folks are managing self-care strategies through this time? I'm trying to distract myself and take breaks from this Forum/compulsively checking online portals - anybody else have any suggestions or things that y'all have been doing to move through this time? Also trying to remind myself that Masters programs and academia offer so much upward class mobility and how much of a privilege that is itself, and that this isn't the end of the world if it things don't come to fruition. 
Congrats to folks who have heard, and will continue to receive offers of admission! And also naming how it can be complicated to witness others getting in when some of us haven't (it's so gross that academia/capitalism pin us against one another when we're all just trying to do some good work). For folks still waiting to hear back or haven't gained admission, feel free to slide into my DMs if you want some witnessing or an anonymous human to debrief with! ?

I caved. And checked my ACORN. And I got accepted to UofT!!!!!!!!!!!!! Advanced standing - mental health & health.

My ACORN changed to "Invited" for Uoft.......I got innnnnnnnnnnnn

Nothing for me yet either. Trying to gently remind myself that my self-worth isn’t reliant on how these institutions perceive me. Hope y’all are able to carry some gentleness with yourselves as well ?

Nice!!! - Good luck!!!! 

Thank you. Thats so humbling. Being an A type personality + an overachiever, has its benefits lol

CELEBRATIONS TO YOU!!!!!!! Rejoice, Rejoice!

UofT advanced standing folks ... I'm sitting here knowing that somewhere in UofT land...the decision is already made and I'm soon to hear about it, in a few days. THE ANXIETY. I'M FEELING TOO MANY FEELINGS.

Gratitude to you all, having others hear and be in the anxiety with me is calming & knowing the end is near is even better.
