No word from U of T for me. I think the admissions committee has met a couple of times now and made some decisions on domestic applicants. My advisor said it would be pins and needles just a bit longer. On the one hand it is an anxious wait, but it also signals that your application is clearly competitive with a lot of other strong candidates and that is kind of encouraging and exciting too. I know the international spots are very limited so being where I am now, I feel pretty fortunate that my I'm still being considered at all. Toronto is hyper-competitive. We will see!
@llgecir43 still nothing from U of T over here - I emailed the graduate coordinator last week to inquire about an update, but have not received a reply. They're makin it tough! Especially since I'd like to get back to the program I've been admitted to and hopefully have a chance to visit Toronto before April 15th...
Have you heard anything?

@whatstheplan Yeah I think the top tier programs always go in rounds. There is always a nebulous period where they make some offers that get rejected and those become new spots for other candidates so definitely give it until the end of March at least. If you don't get an answer one way or another before then you might just follow up with your prospective advisor and see where the committee is at in the process.
Still holding tight in that case - I wound up emailing the graduate coordinator to inquire about an update (noting that I am considering another offer but still very interested) and have yet to hear back.
Have you heard anything from U of T? Waiting there as well... have seen a few Canadian applicants post on the results page, but seemingly no international results thus far.

Still waiting to hear back from UCLA, though I've seen a few acceptances posted on the results page... Would it be safe to assume this is a rejection or waitlist? It seems in past years they've had rounds of decisions, so perhaps another one will be coming up.

I've heard nothing save for one rejection (from a school that was essentially at the bottom of my list, so a bit dispiriting). The upside is, the results page has looked pretty inactive for essentially all of my programs thus far. Cause for concern or am I reaching?

I also don’t have an update on my CUNY portal, hope I’m looking in the right place!
I got an email to check the portal, so if you didn't receive one probably figures there's no update.
CUNY wasn't one of my top choices and truthfully not a great fit, but definitely a bummer to have my first sign of life from the whole process be a flat rejection. Hopefully more soon!

Looks like the CUNY decisions are on the portal - gonna be a no go for me unfortunately.

I'm anticipating things will start ramping up a bit over the next week or so - has anyone heard anything?
I've applied to the following: UCLA, Berkeley, Washington, Minnesota, Toronto, CUNY, Oxford.
All quiet thus far... seems like Minnesota and Washington have historically been on the earlier side in terms of notification.
