Current Advanced Standing University of Toronto student here. I understand and appreciate the waiting period, and how anxiety-provoking it can be for some. I was in your position this time last year. I just want to congratulate everyone on how far you have come and how much you have accomplished thus far. Keep in mind that an "Acceptance or Decline" does not in any way reflect who you are as a person. There is limited space for each program and it is highly competitive. For those who will get acceptance, congratulation. For those who are decline, keep trying. It might not be your year, but who knows, you might get in next year or the next time you apply. I can't stress enough how important self-care is. Do engage in activities that you enjoy to keep you active and sane throughout this process.
For those who applied to the University of Toronto, judging from last year and the previous intake on grad cafe, 1st round acceptance for ADVANCED STANDING started the week of Family day long weekend. Hoping that it is the same this year.
If you are accepted to UofT your ACORN will chance to "INVITED"
Fun Facts: last year for those of us who got accepted on February 19th, our ACORN status changed to 'Invited" then when the page timed out or if it was refreshed the "invited" disappeared. We figured it was because of the volume of update the administration was doing that caused that glitched. In the end, those who experienced this were in fact admitted to the program.
Good luck to everyone.
